i was able to go to a free concert and panel
on chinese music, then and now, at lunchtime
today. i wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but enjoyed
myself so much! i never did learn a musical instrument
and know nothing about music in general, but i’m
always humming and singing (not well, either =) just
like my mom does [...]
