こんにちは。
残暑が厳しく、ま夕立も激しい毎日ですが、お元ですか？
少し前に、世界のナベサダ、サックス奏者の渡辺貞夫のコンサートに行ってきました♪
渡辺貞夫は、栃木県宇都宮市出身です！
栃木県民の誇り！世界のナベサダ、御年なんと９１歳！スゴくないですか？
実は、一度も生で見たことなかったので、お元気なうちにその素晴らしい演奏を聴いておかないと！
と群馬伊勢崎まで足を延ばして、行ってきました。
演奏は、素晴らしかった。
きっと全盛期のパワフルさは無かっただろうけど。
飾らない人柄で、笑顔が素敵で、暖かい演奏、しかも、栃木訛りが抜けてない（笑）。
好きな事を続けて、楽しんでる９０歳。
そんな風に年をとれたらいいですね♪
では、また(*^^*)
Hello.
The late summer heat is intense, and the evening showers are heavy every day. How are you doing?
A little while ago, I went to a concert by Sadao Watanabe, a saxophonist known as “NabeSada” around the world.
Sadao Watanabe is from Utsunomiya City in Tochigi Prefecture!
He is a pride of Tochigi Prefecture! Can you believe he’s 91 years old? Isn’t that amazing?
Actually, I had never seen him live before, so I thought I should listen to his wonderful performance while he is still healthy!
So, I went all the way to Isesaki in Gunma Prefecture.
His performance was wonderful.
Maybe it wasn’t as powerful as in his prime.
But he has a simple and kind personality, a lovely smile, and warm music. And he still has a Tochigi accent.
He’s 91 years old, doing what he loves and enjoying it.
I hope I can age like that too!
