64About a year ago he actually wasn't sure he could keep going.Teo ho eo amin'ny herintaona lasa izay, tsy dia natoky fa mbola afaka hanohy izy.
65But he started going to more hot springs to unwind, and when he has time, he plays his guitar around town - doing jazz or covers of the Beatles.Saingy nanomboka nilona ranomafana izy hialana sasatra, ary raha manam-potoana, dia mitendry ny gitarany manodidina ny tanàna - manao Jazz na mihira ny hiran'ny Beatles.
