Welcome to the new blog. Why a new blog? Well, for one thing the URL is a lot simpler. But mainly because whereas BLOGGER owned the last site – this one is all mine and cannot be taken away from me. Why WordPress? Because my good friend Rik Abel told me to, and he knows about these things. It has better “functionality” apparently, but I haven’t gotten to grips with that yet seeing as I’m a stupid Luddite. (He often tells me that too). One thing I have noticed though, is the Archives button on the header there. Click on that and you can find your way around the blog either by seeing what catches your eye in the tag cloud, or in the list of categories. I haven’t finished tagging and categorising yet (only managed a 157 posts so far!) but I am basically organising it so that categories are more general (movies, poetry etc) and tags are more specific (007, Yeats etc). Also, people I talk about regularly should be able to see their own name in the tag cloud and click on that for a trip down memory lane. I’m a bit embarrassed about the size of Philippe’s tag though. I need to see more people.
And for the first post here on mikeylambe.com I present for your delectation and delight the final video from Banya’s performance at Gojo Guesthouse Cafe last week. Enjoy!

There’s no particular reason for this picture really. Just my students wanted their picture taken and then after I took it and said “Do you want to be on my blog?” – they said yes to that too. As you can see these are friendly students. My favorite kind.Here’s another video of 番屋 doing what they do.

Continuing on from yesterday’s video here is a very nice shamisen solo from “Banya”‘s performance at Gojo Guesthouse Cafe on Saturday night. I like to see how happy this guy is when he plays. More to follow!

Here’s a video for you of last night’s performance at Gojo Guesthouse Cafe by “Banya”. This isn’t the smoothest performance of the evening but definitely the cutest, as the singer keeps forgetting the words and everyone has to sing along to help her out. I’ll post more – later.
