In the hopes of connecting with other musicians and students who were part of the LCC (Lansing Community College) Japan Adventure program, I'm posting here, thinking that maybe Google with pick it up.
I was a musician on the Michigan Showboat in Hama Otsu Japan from 1988 - 1990.
Some of my fellow musicians included Bob Grunder, Dave Edgar, Lou Velásquez, Barb Nieratko, and Doug Decker.
Let me know if you were involved at all by leaving a comment below.

Whole lotta folks on Night Music
I'll need to go through this one but Bob Weir starts the clip, Bongwater and the Fabulous Pussywillows are playing, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins is singing.
This must be from show 215, but there's no mention of Screamin' Jay there.
Aster Aweke on Night Music
This is what made Night Music so great! Where else would you be exposed to such a wide array of musical styles?

Night Music (Sunday Night) Clips coming up
For those of you who missed it, Sunday Night--or Michelob Presents Night Music as it was later named--was one of those shows that was destined to fail. It was just too good to stay on TV.
I was living in Japan while it was on American television, (1988-1990), but did end up catching several episodes during the autumn and winter months while I was back at home.
Here's the Wikipedia entry on the show:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Music
Check out the line-up of guest musicians for each episode, and keep in mind that quite often the guests would get together for one, if not more, songs during the episode. Eclectic is probably too often used to describe the show, but given the range of guests, I can't think of another more appropriate word.
I'll be posting some YouTube clips here in a second.

Another great clip. In this one Flo and Eddie (Mark and Howard) show how screwed they were throughout their career:

I've seen a couple of these clips lately and will be linking to them here:
