Bob and I will make a short trip to Billings tomorrow for couple of gigs. One is tomorrow, on Wednesday at Billings Petroleum Club with guitarist Alex Nauman and pianist Erik Olson. Another one is also with Alex Nauman on his live streaming series “The Hang!”. The series’ first show started on January 15th with Erik Olson which was fantastic! You can watch the concert on Alex’s YouTube channel.
As I have mentioned, I printed a small amount of my first photo book. My first baby steps. It’s called “雪景 – Sekkei. 空景 – Kukei.” If you are interested, please scroll down to the bottom.

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE
One of the great benefits of having a husband who is a great musician with great taste, I have more opportunities for exquisite music without exploring.
Last week Bob mentioned vibraphonist Gary Burton‘s album “Duster” which was recorded in 1967 with Larry Coryell on guitar, Steve Swallow on double bass, Roy Haynes on drums. Very cool album! Here is the first tune rom the album called “Ballet” on YouTube!
Talk about Steve Swallow, I just love this beautiful tune “Lawns” by Carla Bley and Steve Swallow. The link is from their performance. The way look each other is as touching as their sounds!
PHOTO BOOK “SEKKEI. KUKEI”
My photo book “雪景 – Sekkei. 空景 – Kukei.” for sale!
To friends who bought my 2021 calendar, thank you so much for your support! I printed a small amount of my first photo book which are my first baby steps.
About the title. Japanese “Sekkei” means snowscape. “Sekkei” is combination of these words: Yuki (snow) and Kei (scenery, landscape view, scene.) ”Kukei”, I made up this word to go with “Sekkei”. I used a combination of the words: Ku (sky, space) and Kei to title my photos of sky.
So here are my humble works, “Sekkei. Kukei”. (11.5 x 8.5 inch, 22 pages)
