Normally for this , I would get psyched but seeing that the last few days Tokyo has experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 infected cases , I'm surprised this year's Being Guitar Summit will still proceed on as planned but on a much more smaller scale
Personally I rather see Being Guitar Summit 2020 Vol.08 get rescheduled cos even if Being & Blue Note Tokyo take all the necessary preventive cautions , there always still a high chance a cluster might form if people let their guard down
Perhaps plans might change as the 2 Being Guitar Summit 2020 Vol.08 dates draw nearer
