I didn't realize that Jin Hi Kim was now on the east coast. A great artist. She also happen to do an article on
my own work back in the 80's for a Korean magazine which is in all Korean , so i have never really know 'exactly'
what she said. Although Koreans have told me it is quite good. (the article is buried in my resume on line, if one
needs a cure for insomnia ).
JVC put out quite a good collection of this music as well as King record. (not records) both of which i play alot
on my show below. Byong Kon Kim who i studied with before Erv Wilson had quite a bit of 'spiritial' influence upon
me. There is a very big Korean community in LA but is very segregated here. For instance i was once thrown out of a
stationary store just walking and being told "no paper, no paper for you".
