A Yearly Joy / 年末恒例となりました！
We'd been anxious and wondering if he would come because, unlike the past several years, we haven't received a phone call from the staff of his concert tour. Being dejected, we thought, " he is not coming this year, , , " 
However, finally we got the phone from Mr. David Sanborn himself, saying that he would come the next day!! 
So, we could see Mr.Sanborn again this year!! As I wrote again and again in this blog page every year, he is an extremely warmhearted, sweet, charming gentleman. He showed us the pictures of his beautiful granddaughter, she is still a little baby but takes after him so much! While choosing one from our collection of the Framed Hyakunin-Isshu Playing Cards, he told us about his house in Manhattan. We enjoyed imagining the outside/inside of his house. Then we boldly asked for his signature on the picture taken at our shop last year. We were again overwhelmed by his friendly manner. We look very much forward to his concert next year 
例年通りならそろそろ連絡があってもいいんだけど・・・・
いつもなら係の方が事前に来店日時をご連絡してくださるのですが、今年はなかなか連絡がこない。
「来ないんだ～・・・
」 と思っていたら何と
ご本人から前日連絡が
「明日、行きたいんだけどお店開いてる？」とDavidさん
もちろん 開いてますとも 毎年恒例になってきてDavidさんが来ないと一年の締めくくりが出来ないくらいになってきました。（笑）
可愛いお孫さんの写真をみせてくださったり、ニューヨークの自宅のインテリアの話など、
いつものように気さくに私たちに接してくださりしばし談笑
昨年いらした際、当店で撮影したBLUENOTEの小冊子にサインまでいただいちゃいました
来年はお店を休んででもコンサート行きます
