Tomoya and I had a great 3rd recording session.
It was a long but successful day

We'll have another recording date at the end of December,
and take this project into 2014...

"Waitin' On A Train"

The end of the night-
Ponder, and then file away
tunes, smiles, and mischief...

My gig last night with Aoki-san on piano,
at Jazz House Half Tone,
went very well...
It was good to see some friends I haven't seen,
in awhile...
Next week, I have another recording date,
and that will sew-up my 2013, professionally...
Sometimes, after a gig,
when I'm walking along,
I always somehow wind up singing this song,
to myself...
