Recorded October 28, 2011 at 17:16.

At the end of an all day interview with Walt Boulden, Fumio Sawa, a graphic artist and Walt's partner, sang us a slow and touching Japanese song. The piano filled their art gallery in Kansas City with sound as we all stood and watched.

The recording is a mix of a mono Boom and Walt's wireless so its a bit 'mono' but the sense of space and emotion of the song is still captured.
