I am from New York City, but I live in Portland now. Whoever is trying
to drag shakuhachi players to a bustling metropolis to play only has a

murder cycles?
Also, anyone is free to take a hermitage in the woods with fellow
players and have your own festival. Me? I play to the plants.
2 sense,
David
