Japan 2006

Steve Murphy & I jamming at Tokyo's "Cavern Club" with the Silver Beats. Dig bassist Tadd Arkee's fireglo Rickenbacker (strung w/flatwounds)!
Busy intersection in the Roppongi district, 3am-ish.
Taxis lined up along the main street in Roppongi.
Intersection in the Akihabara district, where the electronics stores are. I saw technology here that we won't see in the US for at least five years!
Taxi ride to Akihabara; note driver's immaculate wardrobe of suit and white gloves, plus the VERY advanced navigation system.
Tokyo Fish Market, approx. 6:30am.
Block of tuna being cut up at the Tokyo Fish Market. These men are serious about their work.
Sushi for breakfast at the Tokyo Fish Market; the best I've ever eaten. This restaurant was not much bigger than what you see in the photo; behind me was the window to the street, and behind the gentleman to my right was the wall.
Outside at the fish market, just after sunrise.
"No, no...I said we need guitar TUNERS..."
Our new friends, the Silver Beats! DOMO ORIGATO, lads!
