Those of you who have seen me play recently know that I am a big Spain fan. So congratulations on a well-played semi-final against an excellent German side!

Spain v. Netherlands on Sunday. Classic. I will be watching from Trento, Italy, on a day off after climbing Monte Bondone to play with Hank Roberts, cello, and Noam Pikelny, banjo. This will be the first gig of Trio Sentiero, the Trio of the Trail. Olé.
