Newsletter: Added Apr. 17 show in Cambridge and correcting Apr. 3 show in NYC
Feb 28, 2010
Hello Orchestrotica fans,
Sorry about the horrid format of that last email. My bits got tangled up with my bytes and you know what happens when that happens. Rest assured my snazzy html newsletter tool seems to be working nicely now and just in time, as we just confirmed a nice long Saturday night show in Cambridge at one of Mr. Ho's favorite Cambridge, Mass venues, Toad. Good for you is that it's a free show too! I often play here with my other groups, including La Tuza (mexican roots) and Kafana (balkan jazz/folk) and it's always fun to bring something new in - like tiki music! If you haven't heard or seen the Orchestrotica Mini yet, we have photos and some free downloads available on the band's webpage. I am hoping to record the Mini this Spring/Summer, mostly my new material and perhaps a couple lesser-heard transcriptions. Details on the shows below:

A favorite local music venue for Mr. Ho! This is an all-night show with several sets so we will be stretching out for the first time. Classics by Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, Milt Raskin, and originals by Mr. Ho. View the Facebook event page to RSVP if you’d like, or to leave a comment.

I've been working on a tour as you know for many months; it's lots of phone calls and schmoozing and Mr. Ho would rather be having cocktails and writing music! Stay tuned to the newsletter for the latest updates. The immediate goal is to do a minimum of 3 cities in California in the Fall of 2010 and boy would I love to play in Palm Springs after attending www.modernismweek.com last week. ;-) I have a couple leads on some summer events out closer to home, but they are too loose right now to give more information. And, para los mexicanos que estan escuchandome, there are no plans to return to Mexico right now and we have not been invited out for any festivals for this year as of now, but I believe my great partner Carlos down there is always on the lookout for opportunities. Espero que podamos regresar de nuevo, y pronto porque como on guey de Arizona, y no aguanto más este invierno de la costa este!
Hope that answers some of the questions on where things are!
