  2. Thanks very much for this. Haven't had the chance to listen to most of it, but Okesa-Yansado is one of my favorite tunes from Fujii's Jo, and it's great to hear another version.

  7. Many, many thanks for the second volume of this great session.
    I was quite sad when I heard the news back in August. Here is a link to a short write up on Oki from The Wire.
