Everyday I say good bye to some one else.  The season is winding down with just a few weeks left.  Time for me to start making plans for the summer.  Let's see.  Spend time in the Mountains of Mexico.  Visit friends and play music in San Miguel de Allende.  Plan my trip home to visit family and friends.  Play at our annual Gathering of the Tribe music festival in Mendocino California.  Wow!  Lots to do.  I will keep you posted.

Checked this site lately?  New Pictures, a new section on La Cruz vacation rentals (which includes pics of Philo's rooms to rent), and lots of new visitors to my guestbook.  Thank you everyone.  And kudos to my webmaster Rodger Layng.  You're doing a great job. (De nada amigo...you have been a great and supportive friend and associate these 34 years - RL).

The Banderas Bay Regatta is over and it was a huge success!   Over 40 boats raced, from small to large to historic masterpieces - you can see them in the photos on the Regatta website.  Almost 400 people attended our Awards Celebration on the final night.  To see the daily results and final standings, and to see photos of the Opening Event and all the races, just click HERE.

And, Philo and the Mexican Shuffle Band had a great time playing at the Awards Ceremony.  If you would like to see a slide show of the ceremony with lots of pics of the band click HERE.
