The Japanese Cat Meets Jon Hammond by Hamamatsu Art Museum Kimono Exhibition


On the way to see the Hamamatsu Art Museum Kimono Exhibition a funny thing happened, we met a Japanese cat in the wild! http://www.city.hamamatsu.shizuoka.jp/artmuse/


This Yamaha Motorcycle Art Piece Greets You At The Door, Left From A Previous Exhibit


Well, somehow we got lost on the way to the Hamamatsu Castle Ruins Museum Ruins Following These signs...but that's ok, we finally found it after a nice stop at The Jolly Pasta restaurant we found way past the Castle


Finally made it...and with 2 pizzas to go from the Jolly Pasta made by my new friend Rajesh Thapa the Nepalese genius cook at Jolly Pasta (who also showed us how to find the Castle)


When the original owner of the Hamamatsu Castle packed heat, here was his piece


Ieyasu Tokugawa lived here for 17 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_Ieyasu



I sure enjoyed meeting and playing a concert for the founder and President of Suzuki Instruments MANJI SUZUKI it was a huge honor. Here we are at the console of the incredible B3mk2 Hammond Organ that was designed and built right here at Suzuki World Headquarters in Hamamatsu as a faithful recreation of the original Hammond B3



My friend Mr. Hiromitsu Ono is the Chief Engineer behind the Suzuki Hammond organs that I play, he is one of my all time heroes like The Beatles!


This is my favorite view of the console of the Hammond B3mk2 Organ in Suzuki Hall with my Girlfriend Jennifer looking on at sound check, beautiful !


This one is a little easier to carry, Hammond Jr. !
