Back in Musicians Union in Hollywood!

This is the first time to come to the musicians union in Hollywood after the tour. Well, I felt totally different tension in there from the stage because I need a different skill. Our job on the stage is to entertain our audiences for whatever it takes. Our job in the studio is to read the charts precisely and play as the composer imagined or even better. I have been almost only playing on stages and I am now trying to change my career to be a studio musician.

I was thinking I had to choose one or the other, but that's not true. I’m going to do both. I can do it. It just takes more time. That's all.

Done with the tour!

There wasn't a snowstorm ❄️ We didn't hit any deer 🦌 Therefore it was a very very good tour! 😄👍

We drove ten hours back to Seattle from Great Falls, Montana last night and I'm about to jet to LA.

It was a short tour but definitely was a productive, connected me to lots of great people and sure is leading me to future. The funny thing is that I kind of decided to retire from this touring business a while ago but I realized on this tour that I'm still in love with touring.

I am going to seek the way to somehow do both touring and recording. I just enjoy standing on the stage in front of audience.

Montana Performing Arts Consortium!

I've been touring with Russian 🇷🇺 /Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 group. We are about to play at a conference in Montana and the next 12 minutes will decide our future in 2018 & 2019.

The moment of truth! Tension is maxed out, but I'm still smiling because I am an entertainer. Even if I'm getting cold feet, having 100 butterflies in my stomach and almost peeing in my pants and I'm still smiling, because..... yes, that's right. Because I am an entertainer!

We are going to kick some ass.

Mermaid!

This is what I saw at a pub in Great Falls, Montana last night. A mermaid.

I thought nothing would surprise me in this world any more. World is wide. I under-estimated Montana.

Photo shoot in Seattle!

We just did a photo shoot at beautiful Bellevue Botanical Garden in Seattle! Photos came out pretty good! 🤗 Well, there is a reason for it. Two singers of this group are actually professional models. I learnt some serious modeling today! That was fun!! If you need a short middle-aged Asian guy for modeling, you know who to call! 😆👍

Right-O, now the photo shoot is done ✅ We are going to rehearse a bit then hit the road. It's going to be a 11-hour drive to Great Falls, Montana. Wish us luck!

Heading to Seattle, Washington!

Leaving Eugene and heading to Seattle! Seattlians! (I don't know if it's right demonym) Fierce accordionist and bassist are coming to you!

Oregon!

I reached the biggest city of the State of Oregon, Portland. I'm almost there to Eugene! 😆

Mid-West Tour!

The first tour of the year!

I'm trying to slowly change my career from touring musician to studio musician, and I'm still on the process! This tour is a one-week long short one!

Huffington Post article about my performance at United Nations Headquarters!

Mr. Jim Luce wrote a nice article on Huffington Post about the meeting I participated in at the United Nations Headquarters. This is wonderful! I am on the second photo of the article (or the first photo on the jpeg files that I put in here). I am putting both link to the page as well as the printed out version on jpeg files in here.
