I've finally watched it all; very interesting! I particularly liked when you said that we must know the tradition but we have to follow our paths and strive for originality. And when you told how music was able to bring a good vibe to a weird environment. And, being an avid indian music lover, I liked how adding some elements of indian music to your repertoire changed the final result: I love tihai, chakradar, and the tali/khali concept...It is true that they can contribute a lot. And it is interesting at the very end how you two approach the notes differently: you slidin' up graciously in a bluesy style while Amano in a more direct way with less vibrato... Thanks a lot Michael. Frank

Thanks a lot Michael. Frank Thank you Frank, your words are very much appreciated and your observations are spot on! It is always important for me when playing with Indian musicians not to become a pretend Indian. Keeping the western approach to playing notes, which includes vibrato on the note, rather than between the notes, is important because it is one of the main differences between the two styles. I could have continued talking with Amano for hours because I liked the way he understood and perceived what I do. He's a lovely guy and a very good player. Thank you for watching and commenting. Shine On Michael
