What an amazing day! I got to spend the day with my N.J. family, some of whom I have not seen in more than 12 years!
We went out to breakfast where I got to have my favorite breakfast sandwiches of all time (pork roll, egg and cheese). What a way to start the day! Later in the day I spent some time showing off the new tunes to my friend Joe Peterson and jammed for a while. It's always great to play music with him. We grew up together and share the love of music!

The best part of the evening was heading into Red Bank to eat real pizza at Brother's and hang out with my first ever guitar teacher (Chuck Welch). I have known Chuck now for about 28 years, and I credit him with inspiring me to pursue a career as a guitarist. We talked for hours!
It's so great to reflect on all that has happened over the years. I find that after all these years just talking to Chuck is like getting a lesson! So many amazing stories. I hope to see him again on this trip! Hope you enjoy the pics.
