Thanks for taking me back to Shaxi, I only went once in 2009 but just loved it, and the little villages surrounding it, which you described perfectly.

The "blooming rose sessions" sound like a wonderfully inspiring break, I'm excited to hear the result! I'm wondering if you can detect the different influences that you've all no doubt had in the intervening decades, and how that's finding its way into your new compositions?

As I read this in the deep Guizhou mountains, I'm so excited for you and the band. It really puts things in perspective: what it means to savor a slower pace and redefine quality of life.

I'd be remiss if I did not admit to more than a hint of jealousy. Don't have the chops to do what you're all up to but do love to play and sing when I get a chance, which isn't very often given the pressures of work. Avery enjoyable read.

btw, I found a "春秋 / Spring and Autumn" playlist on youtube to discover & enjoy your previous work, but is it still available through any legit channels?
