Re: Cathleen Read
John,
I sent the last contact info that I had for Cathleen Read in an email.
If you ever end up performing together, please pass on the dates.

Re: Cathleen Read
Hi Elliot,
I just sent the last good contact info for MS Read that I have.
She was East Coast based the last time that I saw her though.
She is very nice.
A few years ago I was told that she was having a gathering of koto and shakuhachi players
at her home. So despite my level of experience I thought why not go. I'll blend in with the
other shakuhachi players, stop playing when I get lost, join back in if/when I can find my
place in the notation again, etc.
But guess what, I was the only shakuhachi player! 
One other showed up near the end though.
So it was me and about a half dozen quite expert koto players for the most part.
I did my best, but it was quite stressful for me at the time. Funny to look back on though.
Cathleen and her students were great, very encouraging.
