The Howling Bar

Sunday 5-10-2003

The other most famous venue for the Blues in Osaka, the Howling Bar.
By 5th October, it was obvious that Stephane would be in no position to play. Having seen a doctor earlier that day Stephane stayed in the hotel resting all day. Me and Korean Joe were left again without a drummer.

Kenji san was so kind he asked the drummer of his band Kenji to help us out. We had about 15 minutes' rehearsal and had to do the entire show.

 
Playing on the night were The King Biscuit Boys and Kenji and Masato sans' band BSMF and my band.

For me and Korean Joe, it was another difficult show to play as we had so little time to rehearse with our drummer Kenji san. But we are truly grateful for his help.
