Kodo: Legacy
Kodō, the internationally renowned taiko drum ensemble from Sado Island in Japan, are (belatedly) celebrating their 40th anniversary by presenting a new dynamic work of seismic percussion at the 2023 Savannah Music Festival. Performance on
Kodō’s main focus is on taiko drums with as many as 30-50 taiko used in a standard performance (and some weighing as much as 882 lbs.), but they also incorporate other traditional Japanese instruments likefue (bamboo flute), shamisen (Japanese banjo), koto (harp), and narimono (metal percussion instruments).
Kodō currently has 37 performers ranging from 20 to 72 years of age, with 27 men and 10 women.
What: Savannah Music Festival: Kodō: Tsuzumi
When: 8 p.m. March 25
Where: Lucas Theatre for the Arts, 32 Abercorn St.
Cost: $35-70
Note: 06.26.1996 Nagano '98 Olympic organizers conducted a p.r. campaign to
promote the Winter Games in Atlanta. Traditional Japanese
"taiko" drums were played twice at the Olympic Village as part
of a cultural program that includes 35 entertainers.
I saw both performances and all I can say is LOUD and Unbelievable.
"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice. Jim Butcher

I like this notion.
Like a grand piano. Open before playing.
For the record: My son the mathematician/woodworker groused about the grain not being matched.

Happy Pi Day -
That there is grain that matches.

There’s never any wires in these stereo-equipment-glamour photos.

What stereo equipment?Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Yeah, I thought that I was in the dream turntable thread when I saw that photo -- but then I wasn't really sure I saw a turntable...

This is my bud's daughter, Elizabeth. She turns one on the 31st. I love this little girl and her 6yr old brother, Jeremiah as if they were my own kids. I'm Uncle Mike to many a little ones and happy to be so. Janey and I love to spoil 'em as far as their mom and dad's will let us. Just look at her! How could you not want to spoil this little princess?

Now -- I was getting really excited about this, but when I copied the image to drop here, I realized there were a couple of anomalies in the configuration of the tape path. Having it on the wall, I think, would trigger my borderline OCD and it would haunt me to the point of insanity!
(but, in principle, at least, it is very cool)

^ That is wild!

So now airplanes wanna get in on the sniffing action. As if copulating mid air wasn't enough. Freaks!
