Happy New Year everyone! While there’s a few feet of snow on the ground here in Monteal and it’s well below freezing I’ve been video-chatting with my wife Mariana down in Brazil where it’s extremely hot and sunny (she’s at the beach in Rio de Janeiro!) and it’s been really interesting to see the extremely different images that our mother Earth has to offer in real time! 2010 is starting to look promising for us as Mariana finishes up her tour of Brazil with Cirque du Soleil’s “Quidam” and I start working on the creation for the newest Cirque 2010 touring production as the keyboard player and bandleader. Here’s to a great new decade and let’s make it one of the best ever… Cheers!
