Admittedly, it was the weirdest gig I’ve ever done. We donned our kimonos and led a bon dance for a cafeteria full of children dressed in their Halloween costumes. It was quite surreal, dancing “Shichigwachi Eisa”, looking back and seeing a 6-year-old Dracula dancing in step with me.
We danced 5 songs and it seemed quite enough for me. The kids seemed more interested in the shave ice and cotton candy outside, but at least we had a small group of diehards who stuck with us until the end.
As always, it was great seeing bruddah Keith and the bon dance folks. Hopefully, the kids enjoyed it, too.
