Western Talent on the Yangtze

Not everyone on the riverboat had Chinese talent.

Our folks had a lot of their own.



With 80 % of the riders being Chinese (or Chinese tourists form Singapore, returning to visit their country of origin) ..... 
it sure felt good to hear a little American music!




And, for the Americans, being a little "old", it was quite pleasant to listen to some classics form the 50's.


But the young amongst us also showed their talent.



Watch out Chinese women....
Mr. Casanova from Chicago is after your hearts!

But, frankly the one who stole the show was this young lady. 
She was about 18 years old, I'd say. She played a wooden flute.


Four times the music CD which was accompanying her suddenly stopped. 
And each time it took about a minute to get it rolling again.



She stood perfectly still, maintaining her composure as she waited to re-start again and again.
Only one time could you see a tear develop in her eye as she waited.

But, she finished a great performance.



Can you see the expression of the Chinese crowd?
There was one lady in the background who was actually crying at the end of her show.
