The summer holidays I
I went to "Nasu" from the night of the 27th of July to the 30th.
On the 28th, I did a rehearsal with Kumiko and Tomoo there starting from a little after noon.
The room where we did the rehearsal was surrounded by trees, had the scent of wood in the air, and a cool breeze was coming in from the windows.
The cicadas seemed to be singing in time with our music.
It was so enjoyable that we forgot the time passing, and we had played until 9 o'clock at night before we noticed.
On the 29th, the rain stopped, and I was worken by the sunlight coming through the trees.
The venue where we were playing was a stylish cafe with a big terrace and a beautiful garden.
It took a long time to set up and do the sound -check.
We only managed to finish just before the doors opened.
There were only 20minutes until opening, but I ordered egg-curry because I thought that if I didn't eat anything, I would be out of gas.
It tasted very good!!
We played 2 sets, and we had a little break between them, starting at 1:30, and we also played 2 sets in the same form after a new audience came at 5:30, so in all we played 4 sets.
The program was original songs with vocals. I mean it was not improvised music, but music changed each time including the encore.
We hadn't played together for a long time, but we got along very well with each other, perhaps because of the reheasal the day before, and I really enjoyed playing.
This was the first time I've been to the Nasu-Plateau, and there was fresh air and water.
I felt refreshed in body and mind.
