We are the CHAMPIONS! Pacific Mambo Orchestra wins the GRAMMY!!!!
I’m finally getting around to writing this: Pacific Mambo Orchestra has won the Grammy for Tropical Latin Album, beating out Marc Anthony, Carlos Vives, Los Angeles Azules and Sergio George. Steffen Kuehn and Christian Tumalan, our bandleaders, were at the Grammy pre-telecast to accept the award, while most of the band was back in the...
PMO Tour: Bay Area Break
I’m writing this from home. I’ve cleaned house for hours this morning, but there are miles to go before it shows. Would I rather be on tour or cleaning the toilet? Ahhhh. Can’t say I’ve missed scrubbing the toilet or, perhaps worse, the floor around the toilet. But the bathroom was disgusting. Had to be...
PMO Tour: The Dislocated Shoulder Must Go On
We had a day off in Prescott, AZ — half day, really. Steffen and Christian treated us to dinner at an Italian joint. Then I went back to the hotel and crashed in my cozy, mountain lodge luxury room. Yesterday morning, I went for a quick run in a park next to the mall where...
PMO Tour: Biking through Albuquerque
Yesterday was Halloween — the first I’ve spent not trick-or-treating with my kids in 13 years. I started off by calling home and discovering that my kids had no plans to wear the costumes I’d made! Here I am on the road, surrounded with testosterone, and meanwhile, they’re home with Daddy, also surrounded with testosterone!...
PMO Tour: Lincoln Center in Ft. Collins
We are wending our way toward Albuquerque, New Mexico in the dark. Snowflakes fly towards us as if shot from a funnel. Another long day on the bus… We’ve crossed 7 states in 8 days! I love seeing how the land changes from state to state. At the inspection station at the New Mexico border,...

PMO Tour: Lincoln, Nebraska
We’ve been driving for a little over an hour now. Yesterday’s 9 hours on the bus were nice, but after that I had to get outside. I took a quick shower and dressed and wondered where the party was. But then I thought perhaps I was cramping the guys’ style. I went to the front...

PMO Tour: The Road to Nebraska
Gary, Indiana is the polar opposite of Carmel, Indiana. Last night was our second gig. We left Carmel around noon. I got in a swim after running a mile on the treadmill. I don’t recommend doing that barefoot. Blisters. The trip to our hotel was uneventful, until we got to town. I tried to sleep...
