I was at this concert. It was pretty neat to hear Bluegrass tunes being played on Chinese instruments. I used to be friends with Emory Gaskill and I do know Dr. Bailey. I always love hearing Chinese music
Thank you for your comments here, Lee. Have you visited the Center's instrument gallery before? If not yet, come to see us anytime.
@@mtsucenterforchinesemusic I need to swing by some day. According to Dr. Han I keep threatening to come by but I haven't been able to. One day I will.
@@leeholman3964 Hahaha. Come over anytime, Lee.
More of this please, but with better sound recording. As a Virginia native with bluegrass in my blood, I enjoy the Chinese version very much.
Thank you. Getting a good sound from a live performance is always a challenge. :)
