My family and I just returned from a two week trip to China which we enjoyed very much. One of the places we visited was the Children's Palace in Shanghai where we heard students playing the Pipa and Guzheng. We are preparing a presentation of our trip, and your description and history of these two instruments will help give some interesting background for our audiences. One thing which would have helped a lot, since most people here have not heard Chinese instruments, would be to include short sound clips of the various instruments. I have been looking on the web for a day now to find examples of how the instruments sou d, and I have only found one short clip of the pipa. Excelent site, none the less! |

I was recently introduced to a CD of Chinese therapeutic music called "An Dun (Calming the Emotions)" http://www.wind-records.com/therapeutic-2.htm from Wind ecords http://www.wind-records.com/page1.htm I work in the computer technical support department of a large consulting firm on Madison Avenue in New York City--a very stressful job. My colleagues and I have been listening to the CD at the end of the day and have found it very relaxing and enjoyable Since then I have become interested in traditional Chinese music of all kinds, and your site helped me learn more about the instruments used to produce the music--thanks! If you know of other recording labels that distribute in the United States I would appreciate receiving links to their websites via email. Thanks again for your efforts, Wong Chin Loon! -Hans- hans_koch@mckinsey.com |

You wrote about your trip to China and mentioned that it was a fruitful trip. What I would like to say that taking a trip to your website is of no difference with taking a trip around the world! Simply because your web is full of information, good nes, i mean, and more importantly, your thoughts. this is something many people usually neglect when they compose their webpages. Perhaps I could add a link in my webpage about the JOUNREY TO LOON's homepage! Cut that crap. I have some small requests here believe me, they are real small. I hope you could update your page frequently, so that you could bring us the surprises at a more frequent rate! I simply can't wait for your 5th edition to be published on the web! I am leaving behind my e-mail, hoping th t you would kindly notify me when your exquisite product is ready! Personally, I am also involved in Chinese Music and rest assure, I will definitely invite my friends to visit your marvellous homepage! So keep me informed! BYE! |

I was reminded of a birthday studded with thousands of berries and cherries in fact -- your web is as sweet and eye-catchi g as that. Keep up with the excellent job. Meanwhile, I am wondering if you could tell me how i can open your webpage faster, you see, you have so many pretty pictures that it often takes me some time for my computer to download. frankly speaking, i find he time wasted worthwhile. You seldom find such touching, heart-wrenching webpages on the NET nowadays. One word of advice before i leave -- too much sugar can be unhealthy though. But i believe people with sense can easily know what are the right amounts for them. And i think you SURELY CAN !!!!! Byebye!! |

Hahahahaha...No really it is not nice to make fun of a person's origin but unfortunately most humo is at other's expense. So might as well be funny, but not malicious. I really enjoyed your pages, even the SS one. The jukebox is great, both the design and the music. I have met so many interesting musicians from Singapore since I discovered Geocitie . I have a page in Vienna/Strasse, and many if not most of my neighbors are from Singapore. I would like to have a link to your page if you don't object, and hope you will reciprocate. I will enjoy sharing your music with my friends. It is refreshing to meet someone who uses their page for education and philosophical insight, instead of puffing their ego or tearing down everyone else. I have been dabbling with music since 1963 and have learned to appreciate skill and art in music and otherwise, and I mu t say your page is an excellent example to the rest of us. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Visit me if you have time.

Flying Asparas - 03/09/98 15:13:20 My Email:NA From: Singapore | Comments: The face is a barrier between our truest selves and our deceitful look. Yet, the ability lies in our hands to mould the face into a truthful and sincere one -- and i think you are rather successful in this after viewing your beautiful webpage. Well, it se ms that you cherish your friends very much. People like you who cherish relationships are few nowadays. Seems that you have an interest in philosophy and that is what prompted me to sign your guestbook. I have a quote to add on. "Happiness is what what others define for you, but what you think is accurate and suits you best." Indeed, as what you have mentioned, even though you and your frens may chatter rubbish at times, you people find it happy and interesting. This is true happiness, something from your heart. Lastly, I have some suggestions over here. As we know, chinese orchestra webpages are very rare on the NET, therefore, i think you would be doing all chinese music enthusiasts a great help by adding links to good Chinese Orc sites. Bye. |
