This is where it all started : 1992 Sapporo Japan. This was my first ever trip to Japan to play music. I made so many friends in Hokkaido and I would go back to play with them in the years to come. Going to Japan to play music was my first step to into the world of music. On this first trip, I played in Sapporo City and a music festival in Furano and a show in a Blues bar.

B.C. Magazine write-up

In January, 1998, I went to play music with my friends in Hokkdaido, Japan.

Shibetsu is rather remote place, but it is a beautiful place. Every where was snow white and everthing was snow-capped. It was –30 degrees when I arrived.

Live at The Universe, Bibai, Hokkaido 9th January, 1998

After the show at Shibetsu, the next day I traveled to Bibi and did another show with my friends. We were suppose to play for one and a half hour but we ended up playing 3 hours.

At the show, I was introduced to Mr. Chiba. the best Blues harpist in Hokkdaido. What a jam we had.

January, 1999 Live at Baby's, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hart Avenue, Kowloon

It is always a special occasion when my Japanese music friends come to visit me in Hong Kong. In January, 1999, we play a show at Johnny & Susan’s Baby’s. On the night, we drank some 10 bottles of whiskies, a dozen of red wine and beer and other stuff I cannot even recall.

In July, 1999, I visited my friends in Japan and played a series of shows including one at Con Brio. It was one of the most enjoyable shows I ever did with my friends. Mr. "Weeping Harp" Senoh also joined us. This is the picture of some of us after the show.
