Greenhouse party 2009

Here I am in Japan once again. As usual, my tour is starting slowly but will soon pick up pace and be frenetic until I get back to Australia in mid-October.

First up I went to stay with my friend Chris Case at the Greenhouse in the peaceful hills of Chichibu. I usually stay here for a few weeks when I'm in Japan, help Chris with cleaning up the house and garden or doing some web development work, and have a party with some live musicians and DJs. (You can also check out my blogs about the Greenhouse from the last few years.)

Shen with Baku Hirakawa (sarod) and Kei (sitar) - we played about 5 hours on Saturday, a couple more on Sunday
