Hi Darryl,
I live in San Antonio(JB knows me) but I am originally from Japan. Yoshi-take is my friend and he and his band members are fine. They(Zydeco Kicks) all live in Tokyo area.
I normally do not ask anything like this, but I have to do now for all the people who read this.
If you have any extra money, please donate to Japan earthquake relief. Any organization that you are comfortable with.
