thats awesome, I'm so glad to hear about other cool
people that think like me. I wanna meet lots of
people with the same mind set and ya know, my father
owns and operates a grape farm on keuka lake in
upstate NY and maybe I can talk him into letting
shakuhachi people gather on his land for free of
course and play, share shakuhachi. maybe when the
grapes are ripe in sept and people can enjoy picking
and eating grapes while the festival occurs.
