Bob Cilman ------------------------------------------- Hello,
We are now back home in Northampton, MA and filled with amazing memories of our trip to Japan. We were nervous about bringing 24 people between the ages of 73 and 88 such a long distance. We were lucky to be in the capable hands of Promax, Inc. Their team did everything right. They made us feel comfortable and at home in Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, and Nagoya. Their generosity was extraordinary. We will always remember singing "Oh When the Saints" with the singers of the Japanese Diet along with the First Lady and the former Prime Minister; The Bamboo Forest in Kyoto; Yamachan's in Nagoya and our visit to a nursing home outside of Nagoya. The theaters and Japanese tech crew were the finest we have ever encountered, but most of all it was the Japanese audiences that created an irresistible warmth that made performing so much fun. We will be back. We'll learn 3 new tunes in Japanese. Send us some ideas and we will see you again soon.
