I have returned from a successful promotional tour of Japan. Pictured above, is a tank of blowfish (fugu), one of which became a delicious dinner. The middle photo is me and one of the girls from the massively successful group, Momoiru Clover Z. We performed Mr. Big's "To Be With You" together on TV. Her voice is so high, that we moved the key up to F. This sounded fine, but it was a bit challenging for me, since I had to re-visualize a song that I had played in E for the last 25 years, and all my open string licks didn't work anymore. But this was nothing compared to the challenge of playing the most insane prog-metal-bubblegum pop song I've ever heard with the whole Momoiru Clover Z group (the 5 girls pictured at the bottom.) All in all, it was a spectacular time.
