So here I am in London having a much needed Sunday “lie in”, and happened upon this awesome live performance of Carry on Wayward Son by a very talented (then) 10-yr old Japanese girl!   Sure, I’m proud of the fact that my culture continues to develop so many musical prodigies, but typically they’re discouraged from veering away from classical – especially at this age.  Obviously, this girl’s parents are (as mentioned in the opening of the video, albeit in Japanese) are tad bit more “progressive” -  and chances are, she can roll right into Mozart!  Prepare to be impressed!

Fast-forward to today, one year later, brilliantly performing YYZ.  The musicians amongst you know that this is no cake walk to play – let alone solo!

I’m very curious about the rig – a Yamaha Electone – apparently very popular in Japan -  I might have to get me one of these!
