The start of serious singing
The lady in the park who had invited me to the dinner with the literary elite of Jiangkou, is also a very good singer. Yesterday she invited me to attend a singing group. This is a serious singing group with an excellent 'conductor'. It all takes place in the reception area of the stadium near my school. I feel way out of my depth but everyone is so welcoming! I try my best but can only hum and the words are Chinese. Strangely the tune is familiar. It is vaguely reminiscent of the old music-hall song 'After the show is over' so my humming has a sort of focus! So far I have managed to go twice. Last time the director of music and the conductor spoke to me. We all sang a song each! This is getting interesting. The song is, I think, a song about China. I took a video of the singing, but it is too large to include here. Below are two links to two videos. The videos are large and may take wuite a while to download. They will both open in new windows which you may have to close to get back here.
