"Thieves cannot steal from the man who has nothing
The Guqin can be taken
Skill in playing it cannot
There is no cheating practicing"
I recently returned from New York City from a performance at the Knitting Factory. I must say that I don't think I'm a New York state of mind person. I mean the city, not the countryside, which is gorgeous. I was absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of people. I felt as though I was in a continuous AC/DC concert crowd. Only there was no "Hells Bells" and the mosh pit wore Prada and pearls. What I did like was the readily available cultures. I stumbled in to a huge Korean Culture parade. Amazing. I'm not much of a picture taker but I wish I had. I walked by a shop filled with Berber lamps. Amazing. New York doesn't sleep, but I sure do because I was tired when I got back. The city pushed my "patience with all" rule to the absolute maximum. San Fransisco is more my speed.
Music is my life. I love music and the way it talks to all of us. From Morocco to Reykjavík, from 45's to iPods, we all listen. Oh, the photo is from 1908. Can you hear it? I can.
