I am thankful to my family and friends,
and to the deeply talented people I play music with,
to Kei Ishida at Club Kei,
to my treasured loyal friends and fans,
to those who have inspired me, been helpful and kind
throughout this year, God bless you!
I pray 2019 is a great year, with God’s help, for us all!
I joined my son, Michio for a night out
in Tama Center.
We’ve always done this;
meet for a night out before Christmas,
somewhere where it would be good for photos…
Sanrioland is a lovely place to visit now, with all the illuminations!
It was also a clear, mild night, with the December“Cold” full moon,
also it was the Winter Solstice.

My bi-annual visit to my doctor on Omotesando dori,
was yesterday…
It went very well.
It was an unseasonably warm day, for December,
and I enjoyed the walk along Harajuku’s most fashionable street,
observing people, the shop window’s, and general going’s on…
