a profound and touching song about modern life in Japan and about riding your scooter to go reunite with a loved one

you captured that also in the cover version . . . :slight_smile:

and now I am not the guy who could ask for even MORE but I really think you should do an article about the kpp project as a finishing touch (for now), and to have your favorite or all clips in one place and not have this topic lost in the forum for new visitors and everyone and to have a LINK to a special feature page about this whole project where there is an introduction a little background and clips to check out I think that would be good also for potential other people to notice the project over time . . .

Good point, BH! You know, because Kevin is not only covering KPP songs, but also has put a lot of thought into why he does, I think this should be the subject of… a Bachido article!!

Whadaya say, Kevin? A story of how you got into KPP and how initial resistance evolved into covering her entire albums? Of course, all of the videos would be interspersed in the story, which they can watch/listen to as they read. Then it can be immortalized for the ever!!

so I guess you just want to party with Tom Morello I mean obviously no need to meet him to talk about playing techniques . . . :slight_smile:

#26

ah I see you posted at the same time Kyle yesterday a second before me I can only say I agree . . . and I was amazed by the sounds Kevin produced in that posted clip it made me think of tom morello’s work :slight_smile:

#27

All right everybody!
Just as a quick update …

For a while I’ve been thinking about writing down this story in an article form. After reading both Kyle and B H 's encouragement here on the forum I went ahead and finally wrote something which I submitted to the Abbott MEISTER over the weekend! Still in rough draft form but probably ready to post soon enough !

Stay tuned. . .

wohoo great looking forward to that with Gerry’s thesis and that article I have a good mix of shamisen related reading covering ancient and modern times then . . . :slight_smile:

#29

Ok…so I have more or less finished the new article. I need to make a few adjustments and also need to post some new vids to go along with it. But if all goes well and Kyle has time to get to posting it soon then we might be able to get it up in the article section within a week or two!
In the meantime my good friend Panda has agreed to entertain you with another KPP tune from nanda collection called Kura Kura!
