Morishige-san jammin' the Word
夕べは亀清旅館のロビーが盛り上がっていました。クリスチャン音楽家の森繫 昇さんがコンサートを開催してくれました。ハワイに住んでいる森繫さんがぎーたーからビオラまで（途中でトランペットの音も聞こえた様な気がしたけど…）を弾いて、そして色んなジャンルの歌（沢山のオリジナルも）を歌いながら、他の宿泊者や近所の教会の方々に神様の事を歌ってくれました。お客様の感想を聞いたら、「森繫さんは天才だ！」と嬉しかったです。
以前はシカゴジャズ、インド系の三味線、おじさんロック、ボストンのオボエ、佐藤允彦さん（！）など、色んなコンサートが開催されました。お客様の喜びを見たら、もっと定期的に行うように計画すべきだな。
Last night our lobby was full of music, as Christian musician Noboru Morishige held a concert for our guests. People from the local church came, too, and enjoyed Morishige-san's musical talent as he played everything from guitar to viola (I thought I heard some trumpet, too!), and sang a wide variety of songs including mostly all-original ones. Throwing in bits of humor here and there, Morishige-san spread the love, God's Love.
I asked some of the guests their reactions.
"Morishige-san is a musical genius" seemed to be the consensus. Judging by how much everyone enjoyed the concert, it got me thinking that we should plan on concerts like this on a more regular basis. We have been pleased to host many concerts in the past, including some Chicago jazz, Indo-style shamisen, Boston Philharmonic oboe, some locals doing a rock jam session, and even Masahiko Satoh. What's next?!
