Christmas with family and friends
was lovely...
I cooked one day, my sister Debra,
the next.
I was glad to see my son Michio!

On a sad note,
my old friend, Kei Ishida;
owner of Club Kei, in Akasaka, Tokyo;
where I performed for many years,
informed me my dear friend Kenji Tsuboi
has passed away.

Kenji was a true friend to me
from beginning and all through
my many years in Tokyo, Japan.
A friend, music supporter, and patron of my art.

It was hard to say goodbye to him
in January 2023, when I left Japan.
His friendship was a rare blessing,
I cherish all my memories of him.

He produced my last CD, FLOWER.

I pray his soul is in peace...
I will miss him, forever.

I thought of him while taking this photo
the day after Christmas,
in the place I go to get
a good view of sunsets,
and collect my thoughts...

"Pamela MacCarthy

Hiromu Aoki
at
Club Kei”

(Thurs. August 4th, 2022)

Photo: Azusa

My gig at Club Kei on Thursday went very well,
despite the deluge of rain, that night.

Aoki was in top form, on piano.
It was also nice to meet and work with Yumiko Ishikawa, on vocals-
We shared the bandstand that night...

Friends and fans new and older, were there.
I offer thanks to all, for coming out to support me in such weather!

Thanks to Azusa for her photograph!

Stay tuned for next live dates!

Till Next Time...
