Serene state of mind

I'd like to take this occasion to place my condolence on passing of Maurice White, the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire.
Needless to mention about the meritorious deeds of this band, Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most memorable band in my music life.

・When I was the third-grade of elementary school, one of the songs used for dancing program of school field day was "Let's Groove".
But I found what this song was when I was sixteen.
Come to think of it, I wonder why teachers back then selected such a difficult song to have 8-year-old children dance.
And in this year when I was sixteen, at recital of piano and electric organ, I selected by myself and performed "September".
・Before I went to a music school in London in summer 2001, I had to submit demo.
Back then, all karaoke of English songs I had was instrumental version of "Let's Groove", which is included in one of the greatest-hits albums sold in Japan.
So I used this song for audition.
I recorded two songs, and I sang another in Japanese.
・From summer 2003 to autumn 2006, most of my memory is lost due to psychotic depression,
But I barely remember the concert of Earth, Wind & Fire in September 2004, which turned out to be Maurice White's final visit to Japan.

On Feb. 12, Chikuzen Satou is going to feature the memorial for Maurice White on his radio program "Friday Musical Voice" from 9:00 p.m.(JST).
You can listen to this program with Internet and smartphones all over the world.
