Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hi everybody. I will be in California and Texas in late April doing a series of concert and lectures. If at all possible, I'd love to see folk from this forum at any of these events (they are free, except the main performance at the SF Jewish Community Center). I've also uploaded this information to my website, www.yohmei.com.
