When I was on your side of the atlantic there was usually a sheng player in parisian or london street performing circles. <BR/><BR/>They sound amazing, are a bitch to maintain, and apparently pronounced Soong.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_(instrument.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16728764083958837593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395909822324046048.post-87582284626528773592009-01-25T08:00:00.000-07:002009-01-25T08:00:00.000-07:00Hi TIP,first have to thanx a lot for all those bea...Hi TIP,<BR/>first have to thanx a lot for all those beautiful stuff taken<BR/>as Bumkuncha made post about your finish with blogging, <BR/>the more enjoyable just seeing there about new activity here again.<BR/>Looks interesting this Chinese collection, so will check it out.<BR/>Thanx in advance<BR/>greetz<BR/>hhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395909822324046048.post-78614946881524874282009-01-17T14:59:00.000-07:002009-01-17T14:59:00.000-07:00Never been to Ireland, but have noticed shreds of ...Never been to Ireland, but have noticed shreds of melody and harmony that sound quite similar to these and other Chinese pieces.

I have a slightly busted instrument that has been breaking my heart for 10 years now, but have never gotten my hands on any recorded sheng music. Sorry for the request, you do too good work for that sort of behavior, perhaps more of an inquiry.<BR/><BR/>Cheers..https://www.blogger.com/profile/16728764083958837593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395909822324046048.post-58643810858197700462009-01-10T00:54:00.000-07:002009-01-10T00:54:00.000-07:00Hello BrotherI am happily surprised by this.I love...Hello Brother<BR/><BR/>I am happily surprised by this.I love it very much.<BR/><BR/>A long time ago (when I was in Ireland, of all places) I heard what the radioman called "Chinese Tea Music".

We both have eccentric interest in music others rarely take notice of. I have to say what a unique posting. I can't wait to hear it later. I have all these 78 rpms recordings of world music. I need to sort through and put something up eventually. As, for Blind Cat West goes, he is taking a rest for now, but will be back sometime with some exciting lost treasured tunes. Thanks again for sharing and stop by often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
