Beautiful sunny weather for the most part.
On Saturday after a private lesson in the late morning, and a lunch of Natto and brown rice 納豆と玄米 in the early afternoon, I found myself to be very sleepy.
I had originally planned to take a drive out to Shibinai to see how Charles Hamel and Family were getting along in their new home.
Unfortunately, I was too sleepy to drive, so I laid down at about 15:00 to take a nap.
When I woke up, it was already 19:30.
Not only would I not be driving out to Shibinai, but I was also an hour late for a Jazz Concert at the Taisetsu Crystal Hall.
Yikes! I got dressed quickly and walked on over to the concert hall.
I got there at 20:00, and it was too late to buy a ticket, so I sat in the lobby and watched the stage on a TV screen.
I couldn't hear the music all that well, but it was better than nothing.
The good news is that I got there in time to listen to the segment where one of my students, who plays the saxophone, was performing.
This was the main reason I wanted to go to this concert in the first place.
The almost 3 hours long concert was called STEP TO ASIA Creative Concert and had at least four separate stages consisting of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians.
Overall, it sounded very nice.
I just wish I hadn't slept in, and missed the first 90 minutes of the show.
