Hey Everyone;

Summer is here and there is a lot of music and activities going on. I hope you are keeping track of everything.

I would like to thank the drummers who participated in the show at the Harbourfront... there is more to come. On Tuesday June 26th I have been invited to perform with the Rumba Workshop drummers for the U.N. International Day at Innis College Town Hall, University of Toronto (North West corner of St. George Street & Sussex Avenue, just south of Bloor St.)... so you're all needed again...

Hope to see you all out there...
Joaquin.
