Oｈ !  My God Story NO. ８６　　　


Taking an advantage of being in New York - part2


That night, I went to a restaurant bar in my neighborhood with two women.
One of them was YOSHINO, who is a flutist,
and the other was my good friend A.

YOSHINO brought one of her latest CD with her

and gave it to a bartender.
We have been to this bar several times.

So we all know each other.
The bartender played YOSHINO's CD right away.

There was a black man

looked like a blue-collar right next to us.
He was having a drink by himself.
He was wearing a hat and looked rather poor.
I thought he was just having a drink

after a long day of his physical labor.

"Can I see that CD?"  

This guy asked a bartender.
They seemed to know each other very well.
We whispered to each other,

"Look, a man next to us is looking at YOSHINO's CD."

Surely, we had no idea

that this man was an internationally famous drummer.

To be continued.
