Hmmmmmmm?


:uhho: Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be! I managed 30 seconds of this! :uhho:

Not so sure, it is clever and she is in time and tune, but it does not feel right IMO.

I bailed out before what I guess was going to be the kazoo solo! :wowzer:

I don’t like it, although the girl is really good at what she does.

I prefer these guys. You should hear them play chopsticks!

Not sure - it reminded me of when we used to go to Indian restaurants in my teens and someone would say "there's a good bit coming in a minute" in reference to the background sitar music.

Undoubtedly extremely talented though.

I really like that - she’s spot on note for note.

For me, that was a problem. I thought it came across more like a technical exercise than a performance.

Technically proficient but completely soulless!

Sort of thing you hear in the foyer of Hanoi business hotels!

I think that was the idea to be honest. :)

Nobody is going to out-Knopfler Mark Knopfler. :lol:

Were you there for business or pleasure?

Business unfortunately. I ran a health project in the extreme north of the country on the border with China.

Used to have to come down to Hanoi for meetings and a little R&R. Also, to stock up on some decent wine and groceries!

Beautiful country, and lovely people. I long to go there.

It is indeed. Very little tourism in the extreme north. I barely saw any Europeans in the time I was there. This was a local recreation spot.
