I recently formalized my Bandcamp site and have posted several albums available for modest purchase and streaming. Please visit and enjoy. www.revwillis.bandcamp.com
First up is my recent live recording of Subconcious 3, doing their original jazz compositions.
Looks like my last post about our fabulous trip to Taiwan. Again, many, many thanks to Nisa and her parents, Hope and Paul, for their planning, their time, their generosity and so much more. For this (maybe) last post, here's some random shots of us. We look so good!
My babe at a restaurant...
I've covered the main events during our trip to Taiwan. But there are a number of miscellaneous curiosities I discovered. Ah, where to begin... well, here, i guess...
How they do construction warning...
We had big plans for the day... beef noodle soup for lunch (super delicious!) then a tour of the big pagoda museum.
Unfortunately, the museum was closed for renovations. But across the street was the new Taipei Dome, home of the local baseball team.
Outside, my feet were in danger again... I have no idea what this was referring to.
We ended the day at a small bar well hidden within the city, Bar Mood.. Fabulous cocktails... here's my mezcal drink...
The best drink, however, was made with oolong tea and cognac, simply delicious.
Taipei has a major Buddhist temple that serves as a big tourist attraction. It's a little weird going there, checking it out, wandering around, while knowing the religious significance and trying to be respectful.
No visit to Taiwan would be complete without paying respects at the tomb of Chiang Kai-Shek. Exiled by the Communist takeover of mainland China, Kai-Shek preserved Chinese democracy by establishing his government on Taiwan. There were growing pains, and conflicts with the Commies that continues today. Kai-Shek is honored as we do Washongton and Lincoln. Kai-Shek's tomb is part of a huge square.
