夕日/sunset

相模湖の4時ちょっと過ぎくらいの夕日。とても綺麗でした。It was gorgeous sunset about 4pm at Sagami lake in Kanazawa.

明日は森のテラスで13:30からソロピアノやっています。2月はテラスがしまっているのでお休み。3月も未定。テラスの横の階段から見える夕焼けも綺麗なのです。お時間のある方は是非。I'll play piano at Mori-no-terrace, Sengawa, Chofu tomorrow afternoon from 1:30pm. They will close whole February and we don't know about March yet, so tomorrow will be first solo piano in this year and 2nd one will be on April, at least, hopefully. Please come to listen.

久しぶりにビリーホリデー聴いたら心地よかった。誰も真似できないなあ。イギリスの亡くなってしまった若い歌手、エイミーワインハウスさんを初めて聴いた時、ちょっと似てるかな、と思ったけれど、どっちもオリジナルだなあ、と改めて思いました。両者とも大好きな歌手の一人です。
I was listening some of Verve recordings by Ms. Billie Holiday. She sang standards, not dark one, like "Stars fell on Alabama"etc. She's such an ORIGINAL, I don't have to say though, no copies may exist, impossibly unique and so touching. When I heard Ms. Amy Winehouse, her voice reminds me Ms. Billie Holiday little bit, but they are so original in their own way, I was sure again while listening those recordings. I love both of  them, and it’s really sad that we are not able to see their live performance any more.

Usually I forgot how grateful to be healthy and to be able to enjoy our daily foods. The ordinary is the most extraordinary. Even we're facing a high mountain which we don't know how high it is, we can and should just start with first single step, one by one,  those slow steps bring us somewhere further.
