My weight today is 259.

I just ordered some diet supplements from a GNC-type website. We'll see how that works out for me - I think I want to try them although Im a bit afraid of the caffeene boost they may give me. Hopefully these supplements will help me to raise my metabolism and burn more!

Today I went to a masterclass that Joe Diorio was giving. Wow, it was so great to be in his presence again. He is such an amazing individual and player. Joe is a master jazz guitarist who played with the likes of ira sullivan and eddie harris. He was also one of Wes Montgomery's favorite guitarists. I played a few tunes for him - he made me play solo in front of the rest of the guys at the clinic and that was scary! But it is always inspiring to be in front of him and other great guitarists. Ill most certainly never forget my times with Joe.

Later this evening another intense New West Guitar Quartet rehearsal. I would have to say that this one was one of the most productive rehearsals we have had in a while. We are starting to get this music together for an upcoming concert where we are performing with film. I am very excited about this as I have never done anything like it before.

Later this week, Ill be down at the NAMM Show in Anahiem performing and doing a couple of product demonstrations. We'll see how that goes hopefully it will be lots of fun!
Thanks for reading in!
