It is difficult to believe that it has been four years since Yo left us. He was such a valuable part of the bands to which he belonged. His bari sax performance enhanced to work of all the others in the band. I sat beside him playing tenor. When it came time for me to buy a new tenor, I asked him for his opinion. He let me hold his Yanigisawa bari. It was a remarkable instrument.The result was my purchase of a new Yanigisawa tenor.
When he died, and the substitute for him refused to play due to the Covid epidemic, I bought my own bari and took his place.  I still live in fear of the comparison of me to the memory of how well he played. But, to me, it is an honor to have known him, and an honor to be able to carry on a part of his legacy to one of the things he loved so well.

Yo dear friend:  It was a joy and privilege sitting behind you for over 20 years in the big bands we played in together.  Also, both being old USC alums created a fun and special friendship bond. I'll miss you.

I 'm so very sorry and saddened to hear about the death of Yoshindo. I know your hearts are heavy with grief. My thoughts are with you.

I've read about the friendship between Yoshindo and Ralph Lazo and Manzanar.
Very sincerely,
Eloise Freeman
