10 years after - Eric Johnson

I saw him performed 10 more years ago in New York, there's a club called " Bottom line " somewhere near the Washington Square, I was there alone, for nothing, but to enjoy a night of Guitar, the whole Bottom line is in black, include the stages, Eric perform with his band for 90 minutes, I hardly remember what he said on stage, but the music and light with the black curtian and stage, that's the night I never forget; since, I became the fan of Eric long before your turks recognise him as one of the G3 featuring guitarist. I was with music industry before and I was enthurisam in all kine of music and I falling in love with New York.

10 years later, I saw him performing at Beito - a hot spring area near Taipei, the venue which I never been before, this is another night of Eric Johnson, but I am not high at all, maybe the light wan't right, to be honest, there is not lighting program on the night, a small venue with the capacility limited to 1000 people, in Rock Zone - this is what the promoter segment to sale in a higher price, I found chairs, this is rare to seen, to my surprise, for the entire performance, only one little girl dancing in one song, she stood up and dance at her seat, other than this, audience only applause, no screaming, to my knowledge, the excitement wasn't built up in the show, Maybe I am too old for this concert, so my passion wan't with me, myabe I am too tired also, so my feet didn't follow the tempo or maybe Eric and I were both used to this circumstance, so it's hard to create new surprise. But I brought my iPod nano with me and I still get high when playing Bob Catley's tunes. Maybe I am no longer a rocking roller - physically, but mentally keep the rocking spirit, that's all.

AJ called in early morning for a good news, to handle his 3 NGO fundation and run to a non-profit eBay model, another choice when leave, but I am a little bit hesitate on what he mentioned over the phone - find a place to hide for a year, actually, I am not hiding anything or anyone, I must correct the impression I leave for my friends , otherwise, I may be treated as one of the runaway person.

in this world - 6.3 billions of people, half of them in poverty situation and can live less than 2 UDS per day, how lucky we are, this is the update information I get. Avior Flu is anothe threat to human, I don't know why Taiwan government asked to recall all the Flu medicine to central contral, it may cause additional panic for Taiwanese people, the black market price should be high and the fraud medicion will flood to the market also.

WANG called from Shanghai asked for my oppinion in dealing with his office political situation, I simplely inform him a few tips, I wish it will hele him out, I don't know.

Handling Christine's case last night at Starbuck, it's alright, as I told her I've been away for too long and the music industry changed significantly, what I am confidence about before now become a question mark, I wish the no contract relationship may last, I will help her but no guartee for breakthrough.

Terry and Yen came for the Ukulele reunion concert discussion, the money thing is not so emabrassing now, maybe it will work if everyone goes with the money issue, this is the easy part, what's been difficult is the object money can't not slove.
