Stone Cold Lampin’ #4
5/17/15

For this show, I play records that I got in Tokyo last month.  They are a mixture of story telling, singing.  There is some Shamisen, Japanese banjo. The story telling style is a style of itinerant begging from 1890. There’s a recording of a Kabuki play.

Hour 1: Starts at 2:53 so you get seven minutes of Soul Patrol.
Hour 2:

Hour 3:

Afterwards, we went to a pizzeria in town where we had chrysanthemum green and japanese green onion on a white pizza and fish and beer.  We sat in a covered atrium outside.  This is Ryohei, Yoko, and Katsuko.

We went to eat kushiage which is all kinds of fried stuff on sticks in Ginza, Tokyo.  It was delicious.  This was the scene in the street.
