it's my understanding that there are currently some word processing=20

around with but given my caligraphically challenged state this has been=20

mind contributing some effort, ala something like an open source=20
software project, but don't really have the time to initiate it. =20

>> Hello,
>>
>> I am looking for some suggestions for shakuhachi trios. We have a
>> group that plays together and have run through what little we have
>> in the way of pieces for three instruments.
>>
>> Currently our repertiore includes:
>>
>> Kumoi Jishi (trad.)
>> Fudo (San Bon Kai)
>> Seiki no Aki Kaze (Fukuda Rando)
>> Kaze no Iro (Tozan)
>> Umibe no Yubae (Tozan)
>>
>> There are a couple of other Tozan trios - one called A-Un (Empathy)
>> and another called Miyama no Akatsuka (Daybreak in the Deep
>> Mountains) but they're both a bit on the somber side and we'd like
>> something a bit more lively.
>>
>> We'd be particularly interested in folk (Minyo) or regional
>> (Jiuta) music.
>>
>> If anyone knows of trios for shakuhachi not listed above, we'd like
>> to hear from you.
>>
>> Suggestions or pointers to notation would be also be welcome.
>>
>> Thanks!
