Damo

Same time as Keiichi stayed here, Michelle and Ned from Huddersfield/Hebden Bridge, England was here for shooting Michelle’s documentary „Energy!“ which is I’m involved.

Michelle made a website for this documentation. She made documentary “Mr.Somebody”.  It’s their 2nd visit after Beginning of August.

They’ll come again in December or January, Michelle plans. Ned will move to Arizona, USA his family moved there and waiting for him.

My sound carrier friend Mandog (Keiichi) and his wife supposed to visit me already on Sunday, he totally missed the day until I call Mani (drummer of Guru Guru) he didn’t realize on Sunday we had an appointment even he had already train ticket Heidelberg-Cologne on that day.

So, he visited me 2 days later as they had also train ticket booked already for Cologne – Brussels next day.

Mani and Mandog (Keiichi) performed 2 concerts in Germany, one in Offenbach and one in Heidelberg, you might saw them playing together.

I’ve a (classical) pianist/singer cousin in Roma, married to an Italian violinist, they have two adult children, one of them, son study an aerospace science, he came to concerts in Rome.

First time I met him in Rom at my performance, he introduced me himself saying that he’s part of Suzuki family, I was really surprised not only from his excellent Japanese even he looks much Italian also mentality.

But, I’d never see his sister until middle of October. She is a flamenco dancer and performing near Cologne, therefore parents, my cousin visited me with their daughter one afternoon.

I found her flamenco dancing in YouTube. It’s sound quite funny, Italian/Japanese daughter is a flamenco dancer in Seville, Spain.

I had an appointment with Jan Werner (Berlin) of Mouse on Mars, paint some LP covers for special edition for members of Alteiburg Museum, Mönchengladbach, Germany where we’ve done sound installations (this is LP how LP about) at Sigmar Polke’s Exhibition in March this year (I reported).

Jan is busy guy, following days went for performances to Russia and Japan.

Done an interview with Mike Sheffield (New York) for “Hope & Fears”. It’s about my basking year late 60’s.

A week later photo-session with Birte Kaufmann (Cologne/Berlin). She was really nice and many things we talk was same label.
