“Live At Club Kei, Akasaka”
December 20th, Friday, 2019

青木弘武 Hiromu Aoki, piano, & Pamela MacCarthy ( パメラ・マッカーシー) vocals

Our End of the Year / Xmas Show at Club Kei was a blast!

Many dear friends, new, and old, were in attendance...

Ao-chan & I have a great musical relationship,
we’ve been playing music together from my start,
here in Japan.
We musically “get” each other.

As always, many thanks to all who came out to support us!

Thanks to Kei Ishida, for her continued support and hospitality,
and to Kenji, for his continued friendship and support…

I will next appear at Club Kei on my birthday, Thursday, January 9th… ( 木曜日、2020年1月9日)

Today,
Sunday, at 1:19 pm, 12-22-2019 (13:19, 2019年12月22日日曜日) in Japan,
is the last Winter Solstice of this decade...

In observation, I present my "Winter Rose"...

" Under The Arch, What Will You Find? ”

Recently, I made my 6-month health-care trek.

This time of the year, the holiday lights are up.

It’s still warm enough to enjoy sitting outside for lunch,
and taking in the sights, on Omotesando Dori…
