p.s. Hope everybody is doing well. I've started to get lots of gigs for May and June. Some London dates with an artist names Frank McComb (Wonderful Singer and pianist). Finally getting booked with the new girl band that I've been producing. Also some regular gig happening in town, too. Last but not the least, I'm getting ready to go to Japan with Richard Street next week. That's very exciting!!! Thanks and hope to see you there. iNorikoj p.p.s Noriko's "Dancing in the Moonlight" is popular on the Bossa Nova charts. These past two months, it has been ranking first at a rate of one in every two days. Take's "Funk Calls Me" is also doing nicely, staying almost always within the top ten on the Acid Jazz charts during this past month. Thanks to all of you who took a listen. (Take) Thanks as usual for your kind attention.
