Guitar Soloish

This week, we go way back in history, almost 100 years ago to 1919 and a silent film called The Dragon Painter, starring Sessue Hayakawa and his wife Tsuru Aoki. Hayakawa was a star rivaling Charlie Chaplin in the Silent Era, and after being tired of the villainous Japanese roles that were written for him in Hollywood, he created his own production company to make his own movies. The Dragon Painter was restored in 1988 and added to the National Film Registry in 2014.

Ada and Brian talk about their quest to find an old school Asian American romance, which led them on a detour through an Anna May Wong and Philip Ahn crime film -- and how Sessue Hayakawa, the biggest Asian American star of all time, is kind of like Randall Park. 

Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. Season 2 explores Asian American romance in film.

Season 2, Ep. 7: The Dragon Painter

Caravan wrote a poem, I took fragments and made a little ditty:

Hey yo,
Where did your mind
Oh dear Goh

Oh no
You musta lost it
Hell raisin'
Fund lovin'
Telethon runnin'
around!
All I gots is a
Hollow sound!

Heya brain,
I like you, stay!
Hopefully more
Folks will pay
so we can amuse
With music all
Together now
But oh no mind
Don't
Goh
I like you so!

While the world
Watches
faces lit
By monitor glows
He strums his guitar
And his brain
And his brain--
Goooohhhsss
slooowlyyy
Goooohhssss.

Do not let this moment
Go to waste.
Donate.

If you have a knack
For knowing more,
Please kickstart
Goh Nakamura

Andy Sturmer - Widowers Song

A wonderful tune written by a dear old friend and New York legend 
George Gilmore , thanks for everything GG
                       Torn Down
Bit by bit you fall apart.
First a little crack then a big one starts.
The old you is gonna be torn down.
Gonna be torn down to the ground. To the ground.
There’s a big idea comin’ through. 
Doesn’t have to be good. Just has to be new. 
Won’t be the same , but it’ll have to do.
Wear and tear and a little threadbare.  
Remember way back when you didn’t care. 
Harsh weather has dulled your shine. 
The last few years haven’t been so kind. 
Haven’t been so kind.
The architects have made new plans. 
There’s a freeway going where you stand. 
It’s a matter of supply and demand.
Your roof is leakin’ and saggin’ too.
 Not much else that we can do. 
You used to be so strong and fine. 
Getting old was your only crime. Your only crime.
Never give up, never give in, is starting to get a little thin. 
Been a good sport now take it on the chin.
Bit by bit you fall apart.
First a little crack and a big one starts.
The old you is gonna be torn down.
Gonna be torn down to the ground. To the ground.

Surrogate Valentine Movie Soundtrack outtake.  
This is basically a live performance in my bedroom.  We recorded a scene of me playing at Cafe Du Nord in SF, but the audio got erased, so I recorded this.

Goh Nakamura is a singer, songwriter, musician, composer and actor. His guitar work has been featured in films directed by Ridley Scott such as A Good Year, American Gangster and Body of Lies. His track "Daylight Savings" also appears in the film Feast of Love. Nakamura made his acting debut in Dave Boyle's award-winning film, Surrogate Valentine, where he played a fictionalized version of himself. The film screened at a number of festivals including the SXSW Film Festival and Nakamura won a Special Jury Prize for Acting from the Dallas International Film Festival for his performance in it. 

Nakamura's first album is entitled Daylight Savings.[5] A music video directed by Dino Ignacio for a track on that album entitled "Embarcadero Blues" became featured on the frontpage of YouTube and soon amassed over 1 million views.[6] The title track of the album, "Daylight Savings" was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2007 film Feast of Love, directed by Robert Benton, based on the Charles Baxter novel of the same name and starring Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Selma Blair and many others.[7]

Nakamura also co-wrote the lyrics for the song "Bird's Eye", performed and also co-written by Mike Patton, Serj Tankian and film composer Marc Streitenfeld, which was a featured song on the original soundtrack for Ridley Scott's 2008 film, Body of Lies.[8][9] Nakamura has also contributed bass & guitar music to the score of Ridley Scott's American Gangster and also guitar and vocals to the score of another Ridley Scott film, A Good Year.

Nakamura's second album is entitled Ulyssess and was considered more of a "branching out" in style that received positive reviews from the likes of KQED.[10] Nakamura's third album is entitled Motion from the Music Picture and features songs from Dave Boyle's films Surrogate Valentine and Daylight Savings.
