Four years is the blink of an eye for this Shinto Shrine in Kyoto since it has been here for over 1300 years. A previous visit was pre-Fall in 2015. This visit happened at the height of Fall in Japan.

Though the weather was gray and drizzly, the temple was beautiful.

Here are some pictures taken by Tessa Killen during a magical evening performance in the house concert series known as Parlor and Patio held in greater Cincinnati. The location and sound are ideal for an intimate evening—impressive attention to detail, warm and inviting hosts, and post show music (not to mention bourbon).

House Concert in Bloomington with Ritt and Wilder Deitz

Yes please. Music with an old friend from the college days spurred into action by the seredipitous planet of ours. I was slated to be in Bloomington for a Dean’s Advisory Council meeting of the Luddy School of Informatics. Then a post card arrived with a request to “alert the Bloomington troops” scrawled across the front announcing a house concert on the very same day.
So a sideman on the fiddle was added to the bill. What a magical evening. Intimate, energetic, and filled with love.

The LACMA is an excellent museum even when most of the permanent collection is stashed away during renovation. Contemporary art it is!
