Draußen wehrt sich letzter Schnee gegen das Tauen, Winterwetter endet gegen 10:30 sagt die App. Drinnen blühen schon die Bäume, musikalisch sehr bedächtig: Masabumi Kikuchi.

“Little Abi” by Masabumi Kikuchi (2013)

https://songwhip.com/masabumikikuchi/little-abi

“Little Abi” was written for his daughter, and was part of his sets since the 70s. This version is from Kikuchi’s final album, recorded two years before he would leave us.
The title of the album, Hanamichi, refers to a bridge-way in kabuki theater that allows actors to enter & exit the stage by crossing the auditorium through the audience.
