I’ve found a Japanese-produced CD on which a Chinese erhu player, a gent named Yang Xing Xin, is backed by a band that includes a fellow called Fiorello, on accordion! Oh happy day!
Spent yesterday out at Ellis Island. Friends were in from out of town and wanted to go, and I realized I hadn’t been there in ages. Glorious day for a ferry ride. Same ferry goes to the Statue of Liberty. We admired her but didn’t get off. We were on a mission.
