Wishing you all a great holiday! Thanks to all those who have sent personal notes on Facebook & Twitter and to my email account! Your kind words are much appreciated! THANK YOU!

This set of photos encompasses my last seven days. On Friday I flew to Germany to play a Christmas concert for German TV called “Weinachten mit dem Bundespräsidenten”. This happened in the very church where Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation with his 95 Theses. Pretty cool. It was a wonderful trip and once again fun to play with DG on the classical guitar! This show airs in Germany on Christmas Eve on ZDF.

(This week German TV I’m on a few Christmas shows backing up DG. Today I was sent a pic of me singing “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” with Jan Fedder for his Christmas special. It’s included in these photos…. Fun time!)

Fast forward 24hrs after the German concert, I was back in NYC and completely consumed with preparation and recording again for my next MW cd. So get ready folks… More music to come! My good friend and songwriter Matthew Kelley and I have collaborated on this next cd. I’m recording all his songs for this one! The songs have become OURS and it has been a great communal effort… Songs of positive energy and light!

The same great team from the MIRROR cd is with me again. Adrian Harpham on drums, Jonathan Maron on bass and Phil Nicolo recording and mixing.

I’m really looking forward to this project so stay tuned!

Have a great Holiday Season folks and I will see you all on the road!!

Big Love

Each town has something I can’t forget… Stockholm, so beautiful there, the air is clean even in the heart of the city, took a nice jog and woke myself up! Paris the funniest hotel ever with black light hallways and amazingly non functional design… what a mess, eating breakfast in a blacklight lit bar, basically eating in the dark. Nice way to wake up … little things like the cube shaped soap. The Paris show was at a rock club for 500 people… my favorite gig thus far with fans a foot away from the stage directly in front of me. Wonderful vibes!

Milan, where the first restaurant we went to sat us down and simply began bringing dishes of amazing food! I never even had the chance to order… and then charged us soo little I could not believe it! Have seen clothes of the finest quality in every shop… Fantastic. Now leaving for the show in a little while. Enjoy the photos!

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

I made the time this morning to return the Ramirez classical I borrowed last week from Rick Kelly Custom Guitars. Rick has been working out of the same shop for about 25 or 30 years. In the front of  the store it looks like a regular guitar shop with guitars of all makes and accessories including some amps etc… But walk in the back of the shop and it’s another scene that is far less common. Over the years Rick has built me a Tele and a Strat which are really special instruments. He’s building me a Les Paul in the coming months… I asked him to make it for me this past August after I saw one he built as you can see in the pic below…. He has orders a year in advance… so my guitar as of now is still a big block of wood… Pine wood taken from a rafter of a house built over 150 years ago on Bowery St. It’s Appalachian pine and well aged as you might guess. Rick builds guitars for lots of folks. Bob Dylan, Bill Frisell, GE Smith, Lou Reed to name a few.. Marcus Wolf! Yep, just saying’. Enjoy the photos!
