Tour...Day 6...Yamaguchi City


Long trip to Yamaguchi. One of those "all day" Teddy Kinjo van trips. A lot of stopping. A lot of ramen breaks. Finally we arrived in Yamaguchi and went straight to the club for set-up and a sound check. Played at an old club called Porsche. So many people packed into this tiny club. During the 2nd set, the power went out for about 2-3 minutes. Teddy and "Gon" were doing a duo on Autumn Leaves. Gon played a fantastic solo in the dark...never missed a beat when the power went out. Mama-san had soo0 much food and drink for us after the gig but, I was feeling pretty sick from an infection. I went back to the room and fell asleep.


In the photo above you can see Takano (sax), Teddy, Fuchi (drums), local singer who sat-in with us, Porsche master and "Gon" (bass).
