When I started new project for the U.S. tour, I got e-mail from Boston of the U.S.
She was looking for some bands she can join, and she sent e-mail to me.
We exchanged own music and we met first at the music studio of Manhattan and did a rehearsal.
When I went to NYC, she had moved to Brooklyn from Boston yet , we could do a rehearsal in her appartment, seeing manhattan over the window. It was so nice.

Her husband and she were very nice persons and helped us so much, I rented a guitar amplifier, and their friend Johna he is also good violin player organized a show for us at Pan9 in Boston and we stayed at his appartment.

In the subway of NY, Mocha and I played some songs and in open mic of Raven we played 3 songs. You can check our photo in this web soon, it looks so happy.
We played in many places ,,, CBGBs , CB's 313 gallary , Meow Mix, Fiddler's Green , Pan9 etc,,, and we had good dinners, specially korean of Greenwich Village!!

I really appreciate them. 

I hope we play together soon.
