Monday, January 4, 2021 -- Taiko at the Beach?

This is the parking lot that I cut across to go from the bike path to the parking lot service road, on the way back home.
Noticed someone practicing Taiko & stopped at a distance to look.

The woman on the left was teaching the boy...

I recognized the drums and the stands.  They look like they're from Asano Taiko (Torrance).  I think they're renting out drums, during the pandemic.
The drums are pretty expensive.
These medium sized ones can approach $10,000...

This is the same parking lot, looking south...

The little orange car is a Datsun 510 2-door coupe from the early 1970s.  It was an unusual car in it's day because it's kind of an economy Japanese car with RWD, independent rear suspension & a 5-speed manual trans.
It was the early 1970s, orange was a factory color option...
This one looks to be pretty modified, even from this far-away picture.
Lowered, aftermarket wheels/tires, decklid painted black. roof rack...

Cutting out a strip of the brownish leather to use as a wrap for the handle on the old Gerstner tool case...
