I love the elegance of pussy willows,
the long stalks, the buds throw off their brown caps,
to reveal a silvery soft surpise.
They have always meant the promise of Spring, to me.
My birthday concert this past Friday at Club Kei, was a blast!
No photos, it was all very much in the moment...
Some surprise guests/musicians stopped by
to sit in with me and Ao-chan 青木弘武, on piano.
Thanks to Kei Ishida, of Club Kei,
for her gracious birthday party hospitality!
Also thanks to my dear friends who came out to support me
and offer me greetings:
Thanks to my family, and friends on Line, and on Skype,
for your greetings!
