I wasn't quite speaking in terms of Shakuhachi study
when I made that statement. What I mean by that is,
seemingly in Seattle, shakuhachi activity is very low.
The Japanese music scene here is quite good. But I
see very little done with shakuhachi.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, every few weeks
(Seemingly), Shakuhachi-related things are happening.
I guess I'm a little envious of SF ;)
I do agree however, Japan is the best place to study
shaku. But I dont see that in my near future. Not
until I have made the absolute "self-playing"
shakuhachi. heh heh. ;) I may never achieve this, but
committed. Aren't unrealistic goals great? ;)
Anyways. Must get back to work.
