I’ve been jamming with Okinawa Girls for our shows at the National
Folk Festival coming up in April this year. In preparation I’ve been going to
their gigs as well as those of the Blade Winner (who is one half of Okinawa
Girls). I’ve taken notes on the performances, on the song lyrics, as well as
the vibe of what is going on. I’ve also been listening to one outtake that was
sent to me by Laura Milkovits (the other half of Okinawa Girls) and discussing
the songs with the band. The result is a poem called Tuesday: the Definitive
Cherry Blossom, which I am still writing. Here is a small section of it
recorded during our first jam session.
