Commentary: 

The Tatsuya Nakatani Gong Orchestra was an amazing, exhilarating experience!

But I didn't get to bed until 2:00am - and then got up early to get to the record show in Nashville when it opened at 10:00. Yes, I am insane. But these things only come around but twice a year; there was no way I was going to miss it.

So, I am exhausted and don't feel like writing.

But I did make a VC video, showing the records I got and, at the end, I talk about the Gong Orchestra experience (and show some of Nakatani's records which I got at the gig).  It's the best I can do at the moment! See you next week.

Tatsuya Nakatani and The Nakatani Gong Orchestra Tomorrow Night!

I am extremely honored and excited to have been invited to participate in the Nakatani Gong Orchestra performance tomorrow night at Track One. As part of Nashville's annual Artober festivities, this month's Art Crawl will be capped by a  solo performance by Tatsuya Nakatani at 9:00pm, followed by the Gong Orchestra, which will be made up of local musicians and artists like yours truly. Combined with psychedelic visuals provided by Dig Deep Light Show, it is going to be a uniquely amazing experience. Track One is located at 1209 4th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203 and the admission is a paltry $10.00. See you there!
