Last month I was in Ohio, a little west of Cleveland. The suburbs out
there have lots of original wooded areas, and I was playing long
tones while walking along a running trail near my hotel. I spied a
small deer (a mule deer I think) nearby, and he spied me. We just
looked at each other for a while.
I thought I'd treat him to a few phrases of "Tsuru No Sugomori" (A
Distant Cry of Deer). He fled immediately.
