Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hello ~
I just found that the Shakuhachi BBQ is back up and running. 
So good to see it going again.  Truth be told I haven't played much shakuhachi for the last few years...
but take it out from time to time... should really get back into it again. 
Was looking for some christmas songs to play on the shakuhachi and saw that this forum was up and running again.
If anyone remembers me from before, then, hello again,
or nice to meet you if no one remembers..

A little about me for introduction:
I'm living in Japan near Osaka, and have been for the last.. 8 years or so. 
I first came here to study with Kurahashi sensei who I'm sure some of you know. 
Then studied with a number of different teachers of different schools.
But like I said.. haven't studied for the last few years I think...
Help me get back into playing!

Yoroshiku,
Chris
