Business Networking Reception @ Crowne Plaza Hotel in Englewood, NJ

 ニュージャージー日米協会に招待され、ニュージャージー州イングルウッドでコンサートがありました。今回はドラマーのゆたかがカナダにツアーに行ってしまって欠席していたので、ミュージシャン4人と、久々に書家の早苗さんとのコラボでコンサートをしました。

Wafoo was invited by Japanese-American Society of New Jersey and played a concert in Englewood, New Jersey. We were missing Yutaka the drummer because he was on tour to Canada. We did this concert with four of us and our calligrapher Sanae came back on stage after a long time.

Sending Yutaka off to Canada

 ドラマーのゆたかは結構な売れっ子なので、この日もカナダ・ツアーに行く彼をニューワーク空港まで送って行きました。ちなみにこれ朝の6時ぐらいで、家を5時過ぎに出ました。私、昼の12時前に起きないのに…………

Our drummer Yutaka is much in demand among all kinds of bands in everywhere in the world. I took him to Newark airport and he flew over to Canada. By the way, it was about 6am at the airport and I left home about 5am. I never get up before 12pm.

Taking Yutaka to Newark

 朝も早よからドラマーのゆたかをニューワーク空港まで送ってきました。彼はこれからとっても楽しいヨーロッパツアーに出かけます。WaFooの仲間を置き去りにして。

I took Yutaka the drummer to the Newark Airport very early in the morning. He is leaving for a extremely-fun European tour ---- leaving his bandmates of WaFoo in here.
