Hi,
First of all, I'd like to apologize to all of you that find this
information irrelevant !!
On May 1st & 2nd, the annual Sakura-Matsuri will be held at Brooklyn
Botanical Gardens, the times on both days the time for Shakuhachi
performance was listed as 3:00 P.M..It sould have read 4:15 P.M., for both
days (at the Alfred White Momorial)..It now does...
On May 9th, we will observe our 22nd Memorial Offering (Kenso-Kai) for my
teacher's (KURAHASHI YODO-SENSEI) teacher (JIN NYODO)...In the Listings
which I have been sending/posting, there is an error in the time listed..
It has read from 11:00 A.M...
It should have read 1:00 P.M.
It now does...So, I guess while I'm here, I will post the Listings again,
with a few relevant changes:
