Meidoko had its second Green Show last Tuesday evening and what a success! I can’t wait for our next opportunity to play. This Saturday I’ll be giving an introductory Taiko workshop at Studio Z here in Ashland, Oregon from 1PM-3PM. I’m excited from the response of our Green Show and the interest that it has generated for this weekend’s workshop.
