2002 Japan 4th Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival 3rd Day

Today is the 3rd day in Japan, and today I have took part in free style competitions. Actually before I take part, I really don't know what should I do in this category. Because this is a new category. So I decided to do something creative and challenge. That is, left hand play harmonica and right hand play piano.

I have choose a jazz piece, call "As Times Goes By " very romantic piece, and I like it so much.

I still remember that is a Yamaha grand piano, and that is my first time I played a grand piano. Normally that we can see it in the music center or music college is baby grand piano. The size is smaller than a real grand piano.



My friend have recorded it down but is just 20 second long.

This is the stage, and the stage are very big.....


My friends also took part in Trio open category..... After that, we went out for our lunch..... we took pizza for our lunch, is just nearby the Atsugi hall.

That's our pizza lunch, is slighly different than Pizza Hut, but is tasty as well.. hehehe....



After we have finished our lunch, 4 of us ride on a superbike. That was cool.... hahaha.....

At night, the organizer is having a welcome dinner at our hotel ballroom..... but is not all the people will invited to attend this dinner, but most of us were invited to attended this welcome dinner..... you can see the picture...
