First post-concert practice. Scheduled this before the show so I wouldn't fall into a slump.
Was tired from lack of sleep and not particularly motivated but I felt good for having done (almost) the full two hours.
custom taiko bag for Thudster nagado
Tony tells me this was the first case she sold.
Made with members of Stanford Taiko.
Received as On Ensemble many yeas later when ST moved to Miyamoto stands.
Remember being proud when finishing making these stands and Barden being more measured. "The real test is time."
Naname stands made and given to me by Lisa Shimamoto and her husband.
