Since I was in Japan I did not do what most of the others did. They all wanted to eat American food. Um . . . your in Japan, you are never going to get more authentic or better Japanese food than actually eating it there. Exact opposite situation on Okinawa. You couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Marine, but other than Navy Corpsmen or other medical personnel at Kuwae Naval Hospital, sailors were hard to fine. I too used to spend a lot of time in the areas frequented by the locals an few or no Marines. I had relationship with a Mama San who owned a couple of bars and would spend time with her friends. I spoke enough Japanese to be dangerous, but always had a great time. My money was no good. I had my first exposure to Japanese cuisine like sushi, long before it was popular here in the States. And I also had exposure to karaoke, long before it became popular in the States. Not sure if the importation of karaoke was a good thing or not. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went there and Yokohama a lot. Yokosuka was okay but like Okinawa, there it was Squidville. Edited May 20, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never played in a band so no sense standing while playing at home. It was to hard balancing it on my lap and it went Bye By Iv'e always preferred the Les Paul design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Due to both spinal issues and being on an aggressive blood thinner I have to get my toenails trimmed by a podiatrist. The young lady who "preps" my feet for this has a large tattoo of a flying "V" on her forearm. When I mentioned one doesn't see flying "V's" often tattooed on young ladie's arms she mentioned it was in honor of her late Father who played one for as long as she remembers. I replied, "Now, THAT'S what I call a good childhood!" Whitefang 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont regret it for a single second When I was a kid, my friends and I always tried to have "play dates" and/or "over nights" with the kids who had the best toys. I got permission from my parents to come over to your house. Do you think your parents would be OK with me "bunking over" this weekend? I promise that it is because I like you as a friend, not because of your awesome toys! LMK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
