Love Story!

 


 

 


 



 





Please see below for the Japanese translation!

 I would like to dedicate this recording of "Where Do I Begin" (Theme from Love Story) to my friend Nari. You have inspired me to return to playing the piano and recording. I made this recording on my Yamaha P-515. Thank you!

 These are more pictures from the Music Forest Museum in Kawaguchiko. What a treasure it is! It seemingly has endless delights around every corner!

 I am going to make this short as I am working hard to finish the school year on a strong note. 13 days to go, but who is counting?

All the best,

Bob Reed

    Hey Bob, it’s Niejah! I hope you’re doing good Japan must be so cool. I graduated today! And I was just thinking about how much easier you made high school for me. Ever since you helped me get into my program, things got way more manageable. I actually made it through all my classes even the ones I thought I’d never pass! Thank you so much. I’m so happy and so grateful.

    Hi Bob, It's Molly. Lara's theme was my grandma's favorite song. I have her jewelry box with it playing in it.

Lake Kawaguchiko Revisited!

  Please see below for the Japanese translation! I think this was my third trip to the fabulous Lake Kawaguchiko area. What an area it is! I hope you enjoy these pictures! I had the fortune of doing this trip with my good friend Stuart. He speaks excellent Japanese, so I had a wonderful companion as well as an interpreter. It does not get any better than that! This photography process is new to me. When I photographed in the US, I had so little time that I wanted to go to new and different locations each time I did a photo trip. As a result, I rarely photographed a given location more than once. The advantage of going back to a site multiple times is that the photographer learns more about the location and develops different ideas of how to approach the photo shoot. Boy oh boy, did that ever apply to this trip!   I so enjoyed having a new perspective on the lake and the local photo hot spots. In addition, I was up and out the door between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning, so I was...

A New Job!

Hello again! I hope you enjoy my recording of the classic, "Leaving on A Jet Plane." That song has always had special meaning to me as it was the first song I learned on the guitar. I only wish I could match the wonderful recordings by John Denver and Peter, Paul, and Mary! These photos are from Jindai Botanical Garden, such a gorgeous place!  As I think I may have mentioned, my current job at the American School is over at the end of this year. While I could stay and work as a substitute teacher, my preference is to have a regular position, so I get the joy of working with the same students on a consistent basis.  There is a wonderful web site that lists most of the top international schools in the Tokyo area: https://www.international-schools-database.com/in/tokyo Call it luck or call it persistence, I recently hit the jackpot when I discovered an amazing gem, The Tokyo International Progressive School, or TIPS, https://www.tokyoips.com/ This is from their main page: TIPS i...
