Gold Leafed temple in Kyoto.

What the hell? If one barrel is for dust....then what do you
do with the smork . oh...smoking you say . ah This was taken outside
a mall . 7 floors of japanese women. It was totally packed.

Maybe , Just maybe Ellen Churchill and I have had too much Sake
and Beer....before dinner.

The view from my hotel room in Tokyo.The picture doesn't do it
justice i know...

Now this was interesting. We show up at this little club in Kasugai
that turns out to be a Beatles bar. I immediately jumped on stage
to play an entire set of Beatle covers with this John Lennon Look
a like/sound a like. Other than the english he knew from the songs
he didn't know anything. I found it rather touching and mind blowing
that even though we could not communicate with each other we had
the language of music in common. This guy knew every Beatle song
ever done. It was a honor to perform with him. |

My host family, The Yamadas in Kasugai . 5 nights of Fun! Mr.
Yamada is a master Shakahuchi Player as well as a high school
teacher. Fantastic Family! Missing is their daughter who is now
in College

Can you say Mount Fuji?

My first performance at Expo was at the canadian pavilion. Whoo
Hoo. Rock and Roll I'm on tour.

Temple #16 on our trip....This one was right outside a huge outdoor
mall in Nagoya.

I love the food... And the Beer! There was very little i didn't
enjoy on this trip. It was just really good stuff. |

Ok in Japan there are these vending machines everywhere . At
least two block. Every time I was thirsty I tried to try a new
drink. This time it was Grape jelly drink...OK lets give it a
shot.....It turns out to be Grape Jello in a can...here i'm trying
to get the stuff out...Maybe next time i should try and shake
it up some before trying to drink :-)

Tattoo What? No... we never got this straight. Do you get your
boobies tattooed here or do you possibly buy/see boobies that
are tattooed? Hmm it will be one life's mysteries i suppose.

My Second performance at Expo was at the Global Commons 2 stage.
Fun stuff. Excellent sound and an appreciative crowd. I wanted
more more more.
