"Song of Myanmar"
This was my first trip to Myanmar. The climate is quite different from what I am used to in the US and Japan, and I believe it destroyed my Michael Jackson jacket. I was not surprised since I had a hard time breathing at 4am when I went out for a run... things were very much not in the normal conditions I was used to overall. The audio is from a performance I did at one of the schools, and all the footage in this video was shot by myself. Ten years ago, I had a goal to visit a new country every year; I am now revisiting that goal with some flexibility. Myanmar reminded me to live once. People were so nice, and the kids just simply loved to rock... I can be that way, we all can be that way.

"It is said that there are no creatures without purpose in their lives.
It is said that there is nothing worthless.
I contemplated it today, while I was looking at my motionless fingers." ーTomihiro Hoshino

Hi all! I am back in Japan as of yesterday; starting the journey with a live show at ライブハウス鶴ヶ島ハレ (Tsurugashima, Saitama) tonight (Fri Oct 20). Next week in Myanmar for a celebration of the first school opening in Shikui Village, put together by Goen Project, supported by ANA.Japan (All Nippon Arilines) and Elite Acoustics (guitar amp & cables).

「青い女神暗い天使」 /
"Blue Heavenly Bad Honesty" ...what do you think this song is about?
「青い女神暗い天使」 ．．．この曲感じることできますか？
Sketches of answers are written throughout my dairy right here. Composed within two days, this song was finished the day before yesterday and filmed/recorded on that same fresh day. The song is about the underlying strength and weakness... a blue goddess and dark los angeles... when we embrace them both, we can arrive at the awareness that love will shine through us all.
Rock on with love!

「自分のものであるのであれば、絶対に失えません。」
Mon David's breathtaking take on "Throw It Away" by Abbey Lincoln (click >>>HERE<<< to watch video)... "You can never lose a thing if it belongs to you."
"A Man Is..." /
A Man Is...
A man is not quick to anger
He’s not one who’s quick to brawl
If you see a man bullying others
He’s not a man at all
A man is not a quitter
He’s not one to turn and run
When the going gets rough, he gets tough
He’ll remain till the job is done
A man takes no satisfaction
in seeing another fail
He encourages all to try
and to believe that they can prevail
A man will never boast or brag
or kick sand in your eye
He’ll stand firm on his conviction
with his head held to the sky
A man will always lend a hand
when he finds a friend in need
His character and his integrity
makes him a true friend indeed
--Mychal Wynn
