Re: Performances in Oregon, Massachusetts and NYC

We MUST ( I must) have video on this one:

Feb 17 – 7:30PM
Old Church 1111 NW 23rd Ave. Portland, OR 97210
Performance with Mitzuki Daizai, koto; Joe Powers, harmonica; pianist, Naoki Aoki. (Jyogen no Kyoku, Ichikotsu, Brooklyn Sanya)

I've always dreamed of what shakuhachi and harmonica would sound like together.

Chris

Only the finale will have shakuhachi and harmonica...and koto and piano. Should be interesting. We're playing "I can't help falling in love with you. Must be post-Valentine's day programming.
