Re: Hatsume Fair

Go ahead and tell him, Cathy. Youse guys should come on down. In addition to the real stuff, Ms. Fatma could tell Gary about the time she got to play the drums at a Sarasota concert. Turk imitating Japanese has got to be worth the air fare.

Sounds wonderful! Will not, however pass it on to Gary, or he will be
on the next plane out. Taiko drumming is great. We always try to take
in a performance when we go to the yearly Japanese Festival at MOBot.
There is a Taiko club at Washington University in St. Louis.

We're going to the Hatsume Fair at Morikami Gardens again this
year. Ms Fatma is quite excited about seeing/hearing the Taiko
drumming again. There are three concerts on Saturday [February 25]
and I have strict instructions to get her there in time for the
first one, which is at noon.

In case Taiko drumming is mysterious to you, here is a link http://
snipurl.com/ma3a to several snippets from a CD by the group that
performed at the Hatsume Fair we went to  couple of years ago.

As the long-suffering chauffeur on this trip, I will console myself
between concerts by photographing the gardens, eating miso,
haggling with an assortment of plant vendors, and watching a master
chef competition. Might even wander through the bonsai collection,
although I don't have much interest in that particular sport.
