Description
School days.
I worked part-time in the pier.
Takeshiba Sanbashi Pier in Tokyo Bay there.
Night of summer.
The passenger boat departs to islands that float on Tokyo Bay from a port.
Islands are "IzuSeven islands"
The pier overflows with the young person who enjoys summer vacation on the island.
I worked as a pier clerk in charge.

The sea breeze at night is feelings good.
Sea of night of metropolis.
The light reflects to the surface of the sea indefinitely.

I sit on the mooring of the pier.
I watch the ship navigated toward here.
The searchlight shine on the surface of the sea.

Symbol of silence of city at night.
The spectacle of that beautiful silence is not forgotten from me.
The searchlight felt the loneliness in the masses.

It is a spectacle of my memories.

Tadashi. This is very nice. Mellow and emotional. The lead guitar is too
loud sometimes, compared to the bass and percussion. Very nice solo
runs with your guitar! I love your description of the pier. Very
evocative. This is like an upbeat version of Otis Redding's "Sitting on
the Dock of the Bay".

Fran,
I strummed the guitar from 16 to 22 years old seriously.
After that, it took a rest for a while.
I practiced again.
The guitar is a Japanese product.
It is a cheap guitar.
It is possible to buy it with the new article if there are 330 dollars.

However, I like this guitar.
There is not a problem as musical instruments either.
I do not stick to musical instruments so much.

Thank you very much.

Lovely tone and a sweet melody...
...The tone suits the nostalgia of the piece.

I would agree with Richard that, on my system, the guitar is sometimes
just a dB or two hotter than it needs to be... A touch of compression
and perhaps pulling back the fader just a little might help the mix...

Even so, I love the tone of the guitar, and your phrasing seems really
nice.

Two impressions from the music:

Though I'm in Kyoto,
When the cuckoo sings
I long for Kyoto.

---Basho

In our souls everything
moves guided by a mysterious hand.
We know nothing of our own souls
that are ununderstandable and say nothing.

The deepest words
of the wise man teach us
the same as the whistle of the wind when it blows
or the sound of the water when it is flowing.

----Antonio Machado

I like the mood this piece evokes.

Always a pleasure, Tadashi-san.

Ed

Ed,
Thank you for introducing a poetic prose.
When it touches your spirit, I am relieved.
You are a psychiatrist who doesn't have the border.

jazz that I really enjoyed. Very nice.

Beautiful
You have such a deft hand Tadashi - maybe the guitar is louder than it
needs to be, but to me your playing is so fluid and accurate that I don't
really mind. I also love the understated backing on this - everything is
exactly where it should be - especially the "holes" in the music, where
there could be notes, but you have chosen to leave them out. The
sound you get from your guitar is very nice indeed.
