I was writing on my lap top, and thinking of listening to some good music, so I simply hit "The House" and Googled it, came out Miranda's song. I don't know her, but after listening to her song it was instant love. Such a touching song, with a folksy style which I haven grown tired of. Great singing skill and also good voice. think I am too lucky recently. This is because, surely of a new skill I've pick up recently, or should I say three years ago. Three years?!! Oh, I was practicing and learning and recently only grab a hold on how to use it properly, happy as I am, even sad song won't feel too bad for me.

Man! this guy might be so old but he still haven't loose his beat. I've been loving this man since I don't know when. He's always changing, his production might be slow, but I still find it hard to cope up with his changing style. His melody? No doubt about it. His Beat? I just said still there. His saying? maybe I am too slow or too..... I don't want to say, to understand. But I still love his music. His youthfulness makes young chap like us feel left out, unable to catch up. After I watch this clip at youtube I say he will not die, his music gave him immortality. Here I go for his clip for the third time... 

When I first listen to the One Trick Pony album, I just cannot digest. I was so attached to the Simon and Garfunkel era of folk style music, and I was looking forward to that sweet music in Paul Simon composing, but he has moved on and grow to this rich style of music, but lucky for me after some time of listening to it, I began to love the whole lots of it, every song in this album was so rich and full of inspiration. And so I again starts to attached to this era of Paul Simon style, but as history plays out, he changed again.

This is in 1970 and I was only seven, thanks to technology I now can see this clip. They were one of my most favorites when I starts to learn guitar. Peter Paul and Mary, those that fall in love with you will never forgets you. With technologies that human developed, more of your fans are yet to be born. They are truly a legend in my heart. Simple combination, melodies rhyme and harmonies. Till the day I die, their songs will sooth my soul.

I forgotten how did I get to know him, I think I heard his song "I'll have to say I love you in a song", I was still a student then, think I was at a friend's house, "Er" his name. it was a compilation of folk song. Later on whenever I came across music stall, I'll try looking for his album, found some and start listening, and find that his guitar playing was great staff but I was unable to pick up by merely listen to it (that's how I normally learn).

Than I found a song book, all Jim Croce's song and with simple tab on it, and I start to learn from that. Operator is one that I put lots of effort into it, but sadly cannot play without partner, only play along with the tape playing.

Great stuff, beautiful combinations of acoustic guitar playing, I only feel that his lyrics was mostly sad, and lonely. His music was original style, very folksy and individual, I think it will be great challenge to surpass himself if he didn't pass on in such a sudden manner.

Guitar beginner will love to play this song, but than again it's double guitar playing, you need partner for this one, or else half of the feeling gone...

With such simple musical instrument they manage to produce such effect! just perfect!

And this is what I meant by sweet song but negatively sad. Those day I was a lonely college student, riding my old bicycle slowly home, and this song imprinted in my brain, now it is like what nlp says "anchoring" that sad lonely feeling to me any time this song was played.

Another sad one but sooo beautifully done!

His memories.

I used to complain about those Chinese singer who just took some English songs or Japanese song and put some lyrics and sell it like hot cake. Why don't they put some effort into it, compose their own and we fans can anticipate some improvement in our own music scene.But today, when Robert Cray pop into my mine, I can't help but thank those song converter who introduce these great musician to me...

Because of YouTube keep deleting video, I am correcting my post, as I am doing this I came across this you-tuber Wayne傻傻, he did a great video summarizing many songs by Chinese singer singing covers of many Japanese songs. This sadly proof that many famous Chinese singer lack composing creativity. Any way thanks to this video, it introduce yet another Japanese singer I might fall in love with, with some additional research I found the singer name in Chinese,  过亚弥乃 Ayano Tsuji.

Thank you Wayne傻傻

The first time I listen to this, I thought to myself, o, Paul Simon is loosing his grip. But than the music of this album stick to my brain, so I keep coming back to this song to try to look for something of a folksy Paul Simon, I think , maybe it was hidden some place in between the song. Than I became familiar with the tune and I starts to change my way of liking music, it starts to broaden my acceptance to more types of music and certainly deepen my enjoyment towards listening music. So this album became one of my favorites album. The end.

Now I put it into rock, but listen to it closely, you'll find some ska element in it...

认识她们是在朋友的茶坊。九十年代初，我们这里有几间茶坊，雅致的小间，幽静的气氛加上南方二重唱的歌，往往在我们（那时和太太在拍拖）到来朋友即把关门告示牌反上。品茶，谈天说地，无忧无虑的日子。。。这歌带回那时的心情，可怎么却多蒙上一层惆怅？忒放不下了！那是不舍！这些年的佛教修为都倒进沟渠。。。还是得慢慢的转变想法才渐渐的松弛揪着的胃肌。。。

喜欢南方二重唱的清纯淡雅的风格，只是有时连带惆怅太浓，会让人怅然若失，心酸酸的愁，这种心情往往降低艺术的欣赏，可惜了。

找到这首不让人惆怅的。

原唱者是包美圣吧？
