Shakuhachi Return

Went to see Sensei Jim in Brooklyn yesterday for the first time since December. Felt great to see him again and hear his sound playing back at me.

We were at the teaching review level when my season so abruptly came to a halt in January. We picked it back up with Mama no Kawa. Everything pretty much felt ok physically - my sound feels good, but my endurance is low. Both in sustained notes and holding the left arm up. But that will all come back with time and playing.

My schedule is filling up with Bateaux gigs as well.
