Janet Klein -- Ginza Can Can Girl

Old Town Music Hall, January 2007. A hit song in post-World War II Japan, about a bold girl who walks barefoot in the streets, unafraid of lions and tigers...

I've been following JK for several years now. She is brilliant. She may have the best band in the Bay Area. :-)

I won't argue with that... even though she's based in Los Angeles. I know there are people in the San Francisco Bay Area who wait and wish and hope for her occasional visits...

She knows how to have fun. Saw her and the boys at Hollywood Silent Theater, they were great. Why does Kanye West have all the money?

I'm willing to believe that this sounded a lot better live. I've got a 1949 Japanese 78 of this and it's a pretty cool number.

This is Japaese hit song of 1949.

Very old song.

Where is this act from? Where do they play? Totally cool stuff. I'd pack by bags tomorrow for this gig.

Too bad nobody in the audience knew that they were supposed to sing out an "echo" response to the end of each verse:

"Kore ga -

Ginza no -

Kan Kan Musume"

Somehow, I had thought she was from the Bay area. I should do my homework better. However, she does seem to fly with some pretty good players.
