Last night was pure magic! Wakana's brother, Fumito, arrived yesterday with his family and two guitars. They spent the day skiing then came home to go out to dinner with the whole family. We got home in time to watch the end of Shinsengumi on TV and then he and I got out the guitars. We sat in the kitchen and he played some James Taylor while I sang. Then I sang one or two songs of "my" music. Then Wakana was prompted by her brother to sing something. Their father disappeared upstairs and returned with a handful of little books. They were songbooks. Wakana began leafing through them and singing from them and her brother joined her on guitar. Then their parents began singing some of the old songs from their youth. I didn't understand a word of it but it was pure magic. At one point Wakana and I sang Working On The Railroad, me in English and her in Japanese. Later she thanked me for making that happen. I쳌fm not sure I deserve the thanks, after all, her brother brought the guitars, but it was a very nice cap to a wonderful visit.
