HARMONY BAR is a lovely small bar with a warm vibe, run by Bobby [USA]. 

GETTING SMOOTHER!

This gig went very well! The mix was good. The songs are now getting back into my soul and letting me perform better!

Thanks to Fred Merz [one of my guitar and bass students in GCG SCHOOL] for adding his BASS playing into some of the songs. Also for helping shoot video. I am sorry that, recently, I have not had the time to edit music videos.     

Great to meet Kaori and her friends who had reserved 2 front row tables to celebrate her birthday and enjoy my music.  [See photos below]

Thanks also to fellow blues guitarist Tsuyoshi Matsuo for coming to see my show.

Huge thanks to Yasuo Maebashi and his wife who came. They were regular monthly fans of mine way back at my residency gigs at Ambalama in Nakazakicho.

Likewise an Aussie guy [Mark?] and his missus and a Russian performer. Yep - a mixed crowd but a happy crowd. 

I always rehearse plenty of extra songs, to give me flexibility to match the mood of each audience.
