    For the past 6 years I’ve treated myself with a trip out of the country for my birthday. Cuba, Ethiopia, Peru, Turkey are all countries I’ve cheap bounce house visited over that time span and this year the destination was Japan. Last Thursday night, I was back on air for the first time in 5 weeks and I continued the annual tradition of my first show back being a sonic representation of the recent journey. It’s 3 hours of the sights, sounds, and emotions experienced on my trip to the land of the rising sun. So if you’re overdue for a vacation, take a listen and welcome to Japan!
