Performed Tanka reading at the Friday Reading Meeting held at Ms. K. Wilson's home.
performance_2016_12_09_02.jpg I performed "Banyan Tree", my new tanka sequence. Ms. Kathabela Wilson's Tambura and Mr. Rick Wilson's Shakuhachi added fantastical touch to my performance.
performance_2016_12_09_03.jpg Ms. Jean Sudbury and Mr. Rick Wilson played background music while I performed reading of WThe Dreamer", which is my another new sequence.

Ms. Sudbury is a professional musician who plays many kinds of musical instruments including Mandora.
