I "discovered" an amazing musician - Brian Wong - he has been playing koto for 35 years, and plays Shakuhachi and other instruments as well. I put discovered in quotes, because he has been around here in the SF Bay Area longer than I have (born and raised) but I just played with him for the first time recently.

This is only the third time we ever played together and the first with me on bass!
