Singing at the Yangtze

I have been derelict in my duties of posting here.  If you look for news here often, you might also like to have our monthly newsletter mailed to you directly, send me an email to the address:  thehplace@hotmail.com to get on the mailing list.

Just a quick moment tonight to post photos and a quick video of The Bug's and Brownie's big performances from this weekend's Children's Day celebration.  The stage was set in an enormous park near the historic river near our home.  The girls performed a song of the river that is considered an important traditional folk song of the province where we live.  I performed the same song the Chinese New Year celebrations this year.  How fun it was for us to pile into a van and to go watch The Bug in her first really (really) big public solo and Brownie dancing with such happiness and skill!

Some photos and then the video.

But, you'll get the idea anyway...
