Between_the_Cracks_Asano

<p>Welcome to "Between the Cracks" (or "the ones who got away"). &nbsp;Even though Community Keyboards has chatted with many organ and keyboard world celebrities, many more have avoided the probing questions of your host! &nbsp;With the kind permission of THE ESSEX ORGAN MUSEUM (http://www.essexorganmuseum.com/links-Interest.html) we present an A to Z of those who never made it, for whatever reason, to the programme.</p> <p>The personality this time is <strong>Hitoshi 'Toshi' Asano</strong> &nbsp;who was born in Ginza, Tokyo in 1947 as the son of a medical doctor. His grandfather was also a medical doctor of St. Luke's International Hospital, a familiar place for Toshi from his youth. &nbsp;He was very impressed by the sound of the Hammond organ in the chapel of the hospital. &nbsp;Toshi studied playing technique of the Hammond organ by himself and started his performance when he was a student of Keio University. &nbsp;He has played in Japan and abroad on numerous occasions.</p> <p>He plays "Begin the Beguine" on Hammond organ.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/communitykeyboards/message
