Yesterday I rode out on my bicycle, to visit the spot where I was a year ago, during the big earthquake, on March 11, 2011.
The sun was out, so I decided to continue out to the Kyodo no Mori Park, for the Ume-Matsuri. (Plum Blossom Festival)
Due to the cold weather we've been experiencing, the blooms are late; and the date of this event has been extended to March 20th.
As of yesterday, the blossoms are just starting to open...
Here are some images in the park that caught my eye :

On this rainy Friday, I'd like to spruce up the place with some photos from my last musical appearance in Yokohama.
I appeared with a Trio of old friends, and great musicians.
Miyazawa, Takashi - piano Shibata, Yoshihiro - bass Jimmie Smith- drums
I also met a nice gentleman, Koichi Nishiyama, a photographer...
Today I will post 2 of his shots, from that concert...

Happy Birthday to Meladramas, 9 years old, and counting...
Last night, I had a gig in Yokohama, with a piano trio of old friends/musicians.
It was a cold, rainy night, and traveling alone, I was feeling feckless...
I finally reached Sakuragicho station, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Bubby's, New York City Pie & Coffee...

I stepped in to get bolstered by a taste of home. Near the ladies room, etched on the hall mirror:
You look great- Whaddaknockout!
I felt better already...
I had a slice of chocolate cake that was a meal. With coffee, the best cake I've had in a long time...
Onward ho, to my gig.
Miyazawa, Takashi - piano Shibata, Yoshihiro - bass Jimmie Smith- drums
and me, Pamela MacCarthy, on vocals...
It was a good gig, and I enjoyed the night...
