Great interview. I can't believe he taught himself how to play the sanshin.

so the questions u asked him, were they spontaneous or did u just think of them before the interview. Did u ask him the questions beforehand, or was done as u had captured it on film.
Great vids btw =p
Whoa! You are a wonderful documentarian! You should put all these together and take it to Sundance!
