Shakuhachi (Bamboo Flute) Duet



My first year in Chicago I hailed a cab. When the driver found out I was a musician,
he said,"Do you know what a shakuhachi is?" When I told him I did and had heard several masters live, he got all excited and said he was taking lessons on it. When he pulled over at my stop and I was exiting he said, "Look!" And from the front seat he produced a bamboo flute and proceeded to play a lovely little melody. "Good Night to ya" and he drove away.
