Oh, I`m very aware ladies play. I just wasn`t aware there were any on this
list. Are there more members then intros listed on the front page? The names
all looked like guys names to me, but that can be misleading. (One of my
female friends back in HS was named `Greg.`)
I have found mention of a few gaijin Shakuhachi teachers here in Japan, but
none in my area that I`ve found yet. The guy that I bought my shakuhachi off
of had excellent English, at least when he was talking about instruments. He
clearly studied a lot of music-type vocabulary.
I already have 3 CDs of shakuhachi music (I`ve had them for years) that I`ve
been listening to lately. Finding more should be easy.
Thanks for the tips!
