前川庄二ーさん Happy Birthday   誕生日おめでとう!


happy birthday greetings today (yesterday there) to Maekawa Otosan.  81!  see you soon.  さいているさくらときのめえ、わたしがきます。











this little video is not the best quality but i hope you can feel some of the beauty of the cherry blossoms. some Minoo senior citizens were there that day for ohanami. i took this video on my first digital camera (the Polaroid one) last year in Minoo.  i found it today looking for some photos of Maekawa Otosan. i added some music to it.  i have been putting together a "mixed tape" (cd) of springs songs.  this song is called Spring the Summer Long by Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham...a little bit of Scotland in Japan.  and you wonder what i do all day :  )  i did go to the gym, grocery store and bank too. it rained a little and there were some beautiful puffy white clouds along with the ominous dark rain clouds.
