Who Gives Kudos:

Current mood:  naughty
Added a honkyoku, one of the old peices for shakuhachi, to the Myspace player. Its one of the most famous of these pieces and is somewhat of a warm-up peice on the shakuhachi I was told once (by a man who ran away... laughing).

Its a poor recording, because I'm a poor man. After I'd eaten the only remaining bean in the tin as last night's frugal dinner I struck on the idea of using said tin, a quantity of my ear-wax collection and the carcass of an earwig to construct a primitive cylindrical audio recording device.

This I did and, after I had rendered the performance in wax, I fashioned the wax into a small candle. This I burned in the vacinity of the USB port of my gas-powered home computing machine and, amazingly, the gods of air saw fit to transmit my recording to these pages.

Truly I live in wonder (and some terror).

Regards,

Harry.

Hon Shirabe is 「本調べ」....
"hon"means true,and "shirabe"means tune or melody.
It's simple "true tune"
I'm so suprised you play shakuhachi.

I remind Hans(Hanzaburo) Araki.
His mother is Irish American(She play harp) and his father is Japnese Shakuhachi master.
