The Trip Revisited!





















I hope you enjoy my version of "Both Sides Now." The last verse starts with "Daughter, daughter, don't you know." That verse was added by Pete Seeger to the Joni Mitchell original. What superstars!

The photos are all more shots from our recent trip to Green Hill Yatsugatake. And what a trip it was!

  • The area where we stayed is gorgeous as it has nice trails that meander around the beautiful property.
  • Stuart and I did an amazing hike that climbed up for a mile or so with expansive views of the surrounding countryside.
  • As mentioned earlier, we went to Heidi's Village, a unique set of buildings with a very attractive and extensive rose garden that has paths that make for easy exploring.
  • A wonderful Swiss style village with attractive shops and the most amazing music box museum titled "Hall of Halls."

I have got to go back to that music box museum and relive that experience! Music boxes have a special place in my heart as my mom have me a number of music boxes as gifts when I was growing up. I was thinking about my mom as I traveled through the museum. Little did I know that I would soon be in for a special treat. I was in the large room with all these amazing old keyboard instruments, including some huge organs. All of the sudden the door closed and the music started. A number of those keyboards are "player instruments" that can be played automatically. And what a concert it was!

Happy Holidays and all the best to you and your families!

New Year's Greeting!

I recorded this version of Born Free on my Yamaha P-515. This song has always been special to me for a number of reasons. I love the message and loved reading the book and seeing the movie. I have always loved the lyrics and the melody. Lastly, it was the first song I learned on the piano.  In 1976, I rode a motorcycle from Seattle to San Francisco. Each night, I camped on the coast. Before losing the light, I would practice this song on a melodica, a flute-like instrument with a short piano keyboard. My mom inspired me to try this instrument as she used to play one on our sailboat.  After I returned to Alaska, I took piano lessons. I will never forget when I hit my first chord to match the first note of this song. I fell in love with that harmony! The pictures are from a recent day I spent with my friend Rohan in the Shinjuku area.  Thank you to Rohan for your guiding! The Godzilla figure is perched up high on a building. The other two photos were taken at a very photoge...

A New Job!

Hello again! I hope you enjoy my recording of the classic, "Leaving on A Jet Plane." That song has always had special meaning to me as it was the first song I learned on the guitar. I only wish I could match the wonderful recordings by John Denver and Peter, Paul, and Mary! These photos are from Jindai Botanical Garden, such a gorgeous place!  As I think I may have mentioned, my current job at the American School is over at the end of this year. While I could stay and work as a substitute teacher, my preference is to have a regular position, so I get the joy of working with the same students on a consistent basis.  There is a wonderful web site that lists most of the top international schools in the Tokyo area: https://www.international-schools-database.com/in/tokyo Call it luck or call it persistence, I recently hit the jackpot when I discovered an amazing gem, The Tokyo International Progressive School, or TIPS, https://www.tokyoips.com/ This is from their main page: TIPS i...

Birds, Birds, and More Birds!

I just made this new recording of Moon River on my Yamaha P 515. I hope you enjoy it! For the last three years or so, I have been using the Canon R5 mirror-less camera with the 800 lens. While that has been a wonderful combination, it has not been ideal for small bird photography. With that in mind, I was fortunate to be able to purchase the Canon 100-500 RF lens. I had previously purchased the 2X RF extender. That extender doubles the longest focal distance from 500 to 1000.   I put this combination to the test last week. I first went to a small park that is a two minute walk from our house. That is where I photographed the small yellow birds that are appropriately called the Japanese White Eye.    I then went to the Tama Cemetery, which is also where I was able to photograph the other birds. That location is also very close to our house.   The other change I made was to follow the advice of an experienced bird photographer. I set up two "pre-sets,"  one of whi...
