where I spent a lot of time walking in the woods...

It was a small and very moving experience,
I sang a few songs I felt very positive about, on that rainy night
of Wednesday, April 1st.
Ao-chan was masterful, and our piano-vocals duet
was like an Astaire & Rogers dance,
while doing that thing we do.
Our “new normal” for expressing praise, affection, or salutations was the long-distance
elbow bump.
I send my gratitude and thanks to my #1 fan Kenji,
and my loyal dear friends and fans,
Kei Ishida, my long-time friend and owner of Club Kei,
& the best pianist ever, Hiromu Aoki.
I pray this Corona-virus will soon pass, and we can once again
get together, hug, and play some music together!
