A Fan Letter from Japan
Dear Mr.Steve Eckels,
Hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm Tomonari Ohtsuka. I'm working
at ATN,
Japanese publishing company. And I'm an editor.
Recently, our company have published
Japanese edition of your book, which is issued by Mel
Bay Publication, Stephen Foster for
Acoustic Guitar, American Love Songs
& Ballads for Acoustic Guitar, and Gospel
Classics for Acoustic Guitar. It's already on sale at Japanese
market. As for these three books, I'm engaged in editorial process.
In Japan, there is less school to
teach classic guitar and acoustic guitar, almost all of people who
want to study acoustic guitar go to private lesson or study by themselves.
Therefore, as your book, text with TAB, it is so useful and convenience
for lone wolf players.
More, I found your arrangement is
so great! It is delightful discovery as my editorial process. Your
play of attached CD is so wonderful. It was so moved my heart. I
had never played instruments except for playing tuba at brass band
when I was in school, I start to challenge classic guitar because
of your book. Thank you so much! I found acoustic guitar in my house,
which my wife bought in long ago, I practice "Shady
Grove" in 30 minutes before I go to bed. It is very beautiful
song, isn't it?
Then, I wish your health and brilliant
success. I send this mail as just one fan of you, not a member of
publishing company.
Best Regards,
Tomonari Ohtsuka
