Japanese Zen Flute Music
Checked out Brian Ritchie playing traditional Japanese Zen flute music. I was crabby when I walked it, but the music quickly put a stop to that. It was deeply contemplative and I felt excellent by the end of the show. He even asked me to come up and sit in on a song, playing melodica in the style of a dissonant Japanese instrument. The funny part of sitting in is that I was on the way to the bathroom to take a leak when his wife Varuni chased me down and told me Brian wanted me to sit in with him.
I said, “I’d love to, but could I go to the bathroom first?”
