The writer Beverly Bryan did such a wonderful job of writing about Morning MUSUKO. It has been a while since I have posted up a blog! The last couple of months have been amazing! We just played SOBS in October and last weekend we played the Amnet’s 9th annual JAM (Japan Arts Matsuri).</p> <p>The energy at both shows was great! JAM was so much fun! The audience gave us so much energy! Now we are getting ready to celebrate our one year anniversary at Christmas time.  December 19th at the Gershwin Hotel. It has been a wonderful year and hopefully more to come.
