It's blowing like a hurricane here in New York City. I've spent the week rushing around taking my guitars to the appropriate guitar hospitals. My Guild Valencia cracked wide open somewhere between London and Manchester. My poor lovely Olson was tired and cranky,

so I had to take it to my beloved guitar whisperer Flip Scipio,

He's even worked on the famous Wes Montgomery all time most worshipped guitar....

He has a great workshop that he shares with his wife Mitzi, the gorgeous handmade bookbinder. This is her book guillotine

Comes in handy if anyone is misbehaving!

Then I went to storage to start the resurrection of my older beauties.

What a mess!!

Not enough hours in the day I swear. 

I leave for Paris tonight (I know, poor me!) I'm going to rehearse and then play with Nolwenn Leroy for two concerts. A little short opening set, and then we will get to sing our little duets "Aucune Idee" and "Safe and Sound" LIVE. So thrilled to be playing in France again, and as part of Nolwenn's beautiful showcasing of her new record "Le Cheshire Cat et Moi."

Lille is the 17th, and Paris, at "Le Cigale" the 18th. Ooh la la.

SUPER!!
