Last year in January, Masahiro Nitta came over from Japan. Since Nitta is a big fusion aficionado, Kevin Kmetz (The once-local shamisen player) brought him over to work out a few Bluegrass songs to play at the Cayuga Vault. Phyllis (Luke’s old girlfriend) Annie [what's with the Phyllis stuff? —Luke] joined in on the fiddle, bringing out a full ensemble.
We’re the Abbotts
Brothers Kyle and Luke, and parents Leslie ("Mama") and Carl ("Papa"). This is our family blog.
This has been our main project for over seven years: helping folks to learn to play music.
That was great! And very interesting. I didn’t know whether to Promenade or do a Geisha dance lol.
That was excellent. I always suspected that sugaru jamisen will find its way into bluegrass and you’ve now shown that it has a rightful place. I wonder if the Yoshida’s ventured there in their recent N.Am. tour.
Well done.
WOW your all so talented that girls excellnt on the fiddle NOT FAIR im so jealous! lol.
