14 hour flight awaits. I leave for Japan in a few hours. I have had laryngitis for two days but began to feel better this afternoon. I am using Propolis throat spray and taking assorted homeopathic remedies. I'm really pleased that Boris and Merzbow are playing at two of the shows. As internet is available, I will give updates. We will be on trains and in motion much of the time. See "On Tour" on my home page if you live in Japan and want show information.
