Some Bad News

Yesterday, I received this email from Bangkok: "Thailand's King's sister HRH Princess Galyani Wattana passed away on January 2 and the Thai government announced that there will be an official mourning period of 15 days - to last thru Jan 16. This effectively means that all government institutions including the State Department's partner universities are not to engage in any celebratory events like public performances or concerts during the mourning period."

What this means for us is that many of our shows, including the Rhythm of the Earth Festival on the 18th have been canceled. The Festival will be postponed until March and we are hoping to come back for it somehow. We're still going to Thailand and will be playing quite a bit, but all public shows have been canceled. They are going to schedule several private workshop/performances at music conservatories. This is sad news all around and we are very disappointed, but I'm sure we will still have a lot of fun and play a lot of music. I'll post a new schedule on my website just as soon as I know...
