Swing Festival

Went to Urawa with Helen on Sunday for the "Swing Music Festival." I'm not really sure why they called it "swing." There wasn't really any swing, but lots of jug-band, folk, blues, country, and jazz. Oh, and alcohol. Yeah. Sachiko, Mooney, and other familiar and new-to-me acts played all day and into the night in various odd venues, from the usual cramped bar to a parking lot to a curry place. Anyway, check out this quick (seriously, you have 3 minutes, don't you? it took me all day) video of the highlights.



And add your own caption to this picture of my youngest son.















I could explain the situation to you, but that wouldn't be as much fun. If you leave a good comment, I'll tell you about it.
