Perhaps it was fitting that this genre followed on from the Blues previously, when so many Chinese instruments, like this one and the erhu are used to bend notes and be so expressive just as the bottleneck and slide guitars are so used. And perhaps why I love Chinese music so much.

And today's genre will be - a complete change - Comedy and/or Parody - surely this will provide plenty to have at.
