Hello everyone.
It's been a long time since I've updated here so I thought tonight would be the night to let you in on what I've been doing in the past year or so. It's been a lot.
We started our own taiko group
Ronin Taiko And since last April, its taken me to Japan, Antigua and Alabama, as well as playing concerts all over south Florida including every weekend since then at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. This has become my life and I couldn't be happier with that. I will be going back to Japan in September and I'm counting down the days.
This is part of the Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. Our hotel was three blocks from here.
Outside th performing arts center in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan where we met another taiko group.
This is the family of a very good friend of ours. Yochi. His wife on the far right, His Father-in-law and Mother-in-law.
They treated us to an incredible feast the last night of our trip.
And lastly, the group that we trained with for three days. The main focus of our trip.
Just a couple of pictures from Ronin Taiko from the past year.
Antigua.
Alabama.
And the Asian Culture Festival at Old School Square in Delray Beach.
Noah and I have also been playing music with our band called Dame Missfortune with our good friends Matt, Andrew and Erik. We've played a couple of shows. This one is from The Scene.
I suppose thats all for now. I think I'm going to try to update this more often. If anyone still has me friended, gimme a comment and lets hang out. We have a Wii and its fun.
Thanks for listening....
