friends,
there was an election here...
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20090831x2.html
I learned much from mr jim in the studio and from his words outside of
it...
I fouled up and failed to use courage - I got afraid and blew one gig
but got it together for next one (arigato mr shimmy/ms yuko and again
mr jim) - two more to go... all important experiences. I am grateful.
the chow here is righteous... and so are the good friends. much
respect.
there were even two days of weather like my pedro town!
