Hey folks,
Wow. The last show is tonight at the Beacon in NYC. It’s been a fun tour once again performing with David.
I’ve been unusually quiet on this trip. In between traveling and shows I’m working on my own new cd…. Working in hotels and in the bus etc to finish everything in time for the next round of tours in Germany. I’ll share more photos of this tour when I get a quiet moment!

Well,

I Love starting a tour in a sunny, warm and beautiful place. San Diego is a nice soft start to this relatively small DG American tour. Love this town I must say…. Wish I could hit the beach tomorrow but the tour has other plans… We’ll drive to the desert just to spite my first wish! So be it…

I was jogging this morning and left my camera (phone) at the hotel… some quiet is nice… too bad missed a few great shots.. I realized then I should always have it with me from now on…

Still, there are a few pix to get the Photo Des Tages ball rolling. Here goes!

Last week I performed with David Garrett playing selections from his new LEGACY cd which was just released last week in Germany. The cd features all orchestral arrangements with David as the soloist.

I took these arrangements and wrote arrangements for solo guitar to cover the orchestra parts. It was the first time in quite a while that I got to use my classical skills and I loved it! It was also really fun for me because I got to use my new classical guitar for the first time… And it is a masterpiece! We did many shows last week and some will be airing in Germany at a later date.

I do have two videos that have already been posted on my FaceBook page from fans etc, but I want to have them on this site also! Thanks for listening!

Hey folks,

I’m playing a few TV shows this week in Germany with David Garrett in support of his new upcoming classical CD. I’m really looking froward to the shows because we are playing as a classical duo. I transcribed a number of pieces from David’s new LEGACY CD for this week. So instead of David and orchestra it’s David & guitar. Will be fun. I’m not sure of the airing times for these shows…. Tune in if U can!

Cheers,

MW

Time is so relative!!!

Heading home now from Bangkok! Nice turnout today. Great people. Time to be home now thanks!!!

Bangkok today! Rich culture and the food is amazing. First time to Thailand!
A few pics from the van that pick us up from the airport! It was like a hippie love shuttle. With a 20 something inch flat screen TV, surround sound and a pink mirror on the ceiling! Ha!

The hotel is great! View…

The first interview. I sit off camera and play a song at the end.

Today in Singapore we are doing many tv and radio shows. Five or six already and more to go!!
Last photo features Jamie! A man wearing many hats!

Singapore is really beautiful from what I can see. Which at this point seems to be the view from the room OR venue…. Oh well. Ain’t a vacation! Good vibes here and the show went well. First time playing an extended duo set in many months. and was new all over again. This view was from the stage. Water and skyscrapers on all sides and quite beautiful.

Seoul Korea.
This is about all I will see of this town! From my hotel window…
