Hm, well, he described seeing you, he said, and Im quoting: "...then this little chick in a kimono (chuckles) sat down at the piano and started to rip off things I didnt believe, swinging like shed grown up in Kansas City. " So, you obviously made a big impression on him, and then he goes on to discuss, he said that you guys became very, very good friends, very close friends, and then he says that you went on to America and made it big. But he says he has--let me see if I can read it--uh, "Toshiko...," oh geez, Im sorry.... Uh, he talks about a possibility of you two doing duets and what he says is   that it didnt happen. Uh, "Later on she made it on her own in the States. Anyway I soon discovered she dug me for myself and we developed a lasting friendship. The American consulate arranged for us to play a concert together and the response was so good, they contacted the Army to see about sending us on tour--Toshiko in her kimono, me in my slick American uniform--figuring it might help improve relations between the two countries, which were touchy at the time with the occupation still on. But somebody squashed the idea...." So....
