I'd like to take this occasion to place my condolence on passing ofMaurice White, the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire
. Needless to mention about the meritorious deeds of this band, Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most memorable band in my music life
.
・When I was the third-grade of elementary school, one of the songs used for dancing program of school field day was " Let's Groove
". But I found what this song was when I was sixteen. Come to think of it, I wonder why teachers back then selected such a difficult song to have 8-year-old children dance. And in this year when I was sixteen, at recital of piano and electric organ, I selected by myself and performed " September
". ・Before I went to a music school in London in summer 2001, I had to submit demo.
So I used this song for audition. I recorded two songs, and I sang another in Japanese. ・From summer 2003 to autumn 2006, most of my memory is lost due topsychotic depression, But I barely remember the concert of Earth, Wind & Fire in September 2004, which turned out to be Maurice White's final visit to Japan.
