On a recent trip to Japan I meet a new friend Koyama Yoshiyuki. He owns a local cafe and plays music guitar. On a night out at the cafe Yoshi-san (as he like to be called) played a few songs for me and gave me permission to record him for internet use. Thank you for listening to my new friend.

Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo on my last night in Japan. It was fun to come across it again its just as cool in Tokyo as it is in America.
Nobuyuki Takahashi a master wood carver (Sasano Ittobori). Nobuyuki-san has been carving Otakapoppo for 35 years now and highly recognized in Japan and around the world for his craftsmanship skills. Although Nobuyuki Takahashi pieces are simple, it takes a great deal of skill to create objects of the highest quality. His travels took him to Disneyland in Calif., on six different occasions, where his demonstrations were popular and onlookers were full of curiosity as they watched him create a bird with a layer of beautiful feathers using only his chisel and a log. We hope your inspired by Nobuyuki Takahashi skills. To See the complete video please visit Go The Distance TV. You will also find other interesting videos here from Japan.

MUSIC & MEMORIES A show highlighting Vic Wotherspoon a 65-year-old musician who has been playing guitar since 1959. “I thought it’d be a nice way to meet women,” he laughed. “I got really into the folk scene to go to Greenwich Village in 1963.” Now, anyone who knows me knows of my encyclopedic passion for Bob Dylan. So obviously, at the mention of “Greenwich Village” and “1963,” I had to ask if he knew The Man himself. “Yeah, I knew Bob before he was famous,” Vic said nonchalantly. Then he left New York for Cambridge, where he played Club 47, now Club Passim, where Dylan, Joan Baez, Tom Rush and the like performed. “I recorded a record on Vanguard around 1971 called ‘Vic Wotherspoon Singing’ the Blues,’ ” he said. “I don’t know if it’s still around.” It sold about 1,000 copies and was never fully promoted, he said. He also recorded an album with fellow Taunton singer Tom Beaulieu in 1996. Growing up in Massachusetts, spending time in Cambridge the mecca of music in the country at that time as well as living in New York village area. Vic talks about growing up with some of the countries greatest musicians before they made it and shares his inspirational memories and music with us. We hope you enjoy Vic’s stories and music.
