This is not a bass player from a Salsa band, but Tatsunori Hida, Godiego's photographer since 1977 . Not only is he a great photographer, but a wonderful friend. We've been all over the world together!

Also, during August I performed with Mickie and Paul Jackson for a private party. It was great to see and play with Paul. Kishimoto Hiroshi(tumpet) also came to jam
.
Makinto and I attended the 50th birthday party for my good friend Tsunoda Shoemon in Hayama at La Maree de Chaya. (see the Restaurant page) We performed a few songs together and with Mickie too. I sang a special birhtday duet with Eriko, a mutual friend.
