My show went up on Saturday, October 1st,
at Jazz Spot "J", Shinjuku.
Michio helped me carry and set up all 16 pieces
of DIGITAL DIARY.
Later that night,
I met a lovely vocalist who's performance
was that evening.
Her name is Aoi Ushijima.
She asked me to sing a number with her trio.
I was happy to oblige.
An elegant lady, with a lot of style...
Later, my friend Michael took me to dinner,
at our favorite Indian restaurant.
Tonight is my opening party.
I have a great quartet joining me:
Keisaku Takahashi- piano

A man in my shoes runs a light
and all the papers lied tonight

Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away...
