This is Amazing because this guy is the guy I saw 16 years ago that inspired me so much I started playing. I became a shamisen player because of him. I love this guy

and the truth is I saw him when the yoshida brothers came to Los Angeles and he

had remebered me from Nakano where I played street music shamisen. Its amazing how we can effect each other blessed to be a blessing. God is good!

one of my dreams in life is to learn to play that thing and go to japan and play the thing in the streets just like this guy does, do you thing that a gaijin could make some bucks playing a shamisen in the streets??? i think that the japs could consider it interesting.

I don't think you'd make much money unless you were extremely good. There are lots of Japanese shamisen players and they've been playing for a long time on very good, expensive instruments that have great sound quality.

But hey, it's possible

[fenderacolyte]

of course it is, but it's not like i want to do that for a living, i like busking just for fun.

@fenderacolyte That's how it ought to be. The Reply Necromancer Strikes Again!
