My tutor is a rock star

I've been working on my Japanese regularly since July with my tutor, and in that time I've found him to be a really interesting person (and a really helpful teacher, too). The first time I met him he had his guitar with him, and we've talked about music several times, so recently I asked him if I could hear some of his music, and he made me a CD. I was totally amazed when I listened to it - Kazki is a serious performer! (By the way, I've been writing his "proper" Japanese name Kazuki here, but he uses Kazki so people will pronounce it correctly.) He writes his own music (with English lyrics), full of passion and emotion, with some excellent melodies and some seriously cool rhythms - I've even seen him writing out drum parts on staff paper, because he definitely has a vision for the sound he wants to produce. Listening to him play really reminds me of my days writing poetry and living more of an art-filled life, and it's inspiring to me. Now I'm really going to have to see one of his gigs! I'm glad my search for a tutor led me to such an interesting guy. Check out his website sometime.
