Halu

In late June, my good friends Shigemi and Mimi Komiyama
opened 'Halu - a different Japanese restaurant '.
Located on 8th Ave near Clement, they have been crazy with biz
since opening



Shig and I have been playing together with the Shitones and Aqua Velvets for a number of years. .


I've been filmed playing a Mermen song at the Grand Opening ...

Martin Fierro

I met Martin at a Steve Kimock show.
He had been invited to play at a sold-out show
at Great American Music Hall and we were talking
at the monitor mix during the break.
He was a very peaceful man, greeting friends
and aquaintences with warmth and light.
As the second set started, he was getting ready to play
and Kimock came to the side of the stage and said:
"Not tonight, Meester."

Martin quietly put his horn away and listened to the music until the set was over.
When he left he said to me
"... good show ..."
shook my hand
said it was good to meet and left the club alone.

Why did Kimock invite him to play and then change his mind?
kinda weird to me ...
I have no idea what folks' motivation is from one minute to the next
and sorry to say
the show really wasn't All That
but
I will always remember Martin's grace in his and my disappointment.



Rest In Peace
