The USA is a country of immigrants. My grandfathers came from Germany and Spain. They came to the USA legally. Millions have done this. I'm in Japan. I came here with a proper visa. I have a working visa now. I am legal.
I can't even imagine coming into Japan illegally or any of the other 20 countries that I've been in. If I was caught here without a visa, I would be put in jail and at some point deported back to the USA. No negotiation. This is for sure. No question about it.
What are you guys thinking in the USA? Either you are legal or you aren't.
4/28/06 Leaving Osaka Now And Returning To Tokyo. Had a great gig last night with the Jill Decoy band at Osaka Muse.
I'm so disgusted to see that the great little town in the mountains of West Virginia that I grew up in has now become just like the big cities. Drug use and abuse is out of control. Recently, the police caught these two idiots "cooking" meth in garbage cans in the city park in the center of town.

Getting ready for a snack (before the train has left the station).
Had 2 GREAT nights at Motion Blue in Yokohama with Norihiko Hibino's Band. I'll have to say it was just a fantastic 2 nights of playing. The music and the "vibe" was so cool and creative and all of the musicians were very hip and easy to play with. But, I was completely blown away by the staff at the Motion Blue. In 25 years, I never been treated any better. It was such a treat to make music there. The staff tried so hard to make our time there so easy. The whole environment was set-up to help us to create music at our highest level. After spending 3 miserable years playing at the New York Bar (Park Hyatt Hotel, Shinjuku, Tokyo), it was such a shock to be treated like a human being. I just can't say enough good things about the people working at Motion Blue.
Good Manners Good Dog Life.....hahaha....I often think I should do a book on the interesting usage of English in Japanese ads. As an English speaker sometimes I don't have clue what these ads (written in English) mean.
Pooper Picker? Hahaha...Sometimes I have to laugh at some of the ads in Japan.
Keith Haines and the New Science Band. I went to Blues Alley in Meguro to hear the 'cats' play tonight. I was in shock! The GROOVE was so intense...so great. I've never heard anything in Tokyo that comes close. I was struck by their communication with each other on the stage...always watching each other...giving cues, helping each other and at the same time being so musical and entertaining. These guys are the "real deal". I was happy to hear that a new MIDAS (nightclub) is going to open in Roppongi beside FUSION and these guys are going to be the house band.
Night Lights. Once Again, I Took This With My Cellphone So, The
Picture Isn't So Great.
Under A Bridge. I Thought It Was Very Creative. I Took ThisSshort
Video With My Cellphone So, The Picture Isn't Very Good.
It Is saying That This Guy Is Cool Because He Is In A Gang. I Thought
How Interesting It Is That At This Stage Of The Game In Japan They
Think Its Cool To Be A Gand Leader Or To Be In A Gang. I Wonder How
Many Young People Will Be Motivated To Join A Gang After Seeing Ads
Like That One.
In The Room........
Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) Are Almost Finished But, Still Looking Good In Kami-Itabashi.
The Sign Outside A Ramen Shop In Nagoya.
My Favorite Japanese Actress....Miho Nakayama. Also, I really like Matsu Takako.
Played A Gig At Candy Last Night. Candy is a beautiful, new club/rest. in Daikanyama, Tokyo.
Well, this is where I finish my tour. It has been a lot of fun this week...a really interesting experience. Had some wonderful moments and some things that happened that I would rather forget (quickly!). Anyway, a great week and I'll probably be out there again soon.
These are the famous Japanese Koi. In The USA we call them carp. I thought these were unusual because they are golden koi. In West Virginia, we also have golden trout.
I Saw This Beautiful Stained Glass In Nagoya.
Here Is The 'Control Panel' On The High-tech Japanese Toilet.....
High-tech Japanese Toilets. Even The Seat Is Heated. That's a great thing on cold winter mornings in Tokyo....
Staying At The R&B Hotel In Nagoya. I've often stayed at B&B's in the USA and Europe but never a R&B (room&breakfast). I'll be playing the last gig on my tour tomorrow night about 50 meters away at DOXY.
