About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

Che Zhan (车站) - Train Station

The original in Fujian (a chinese dialect) is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mdSbC9d_9Y

I attempted the Mandarin version, with fingerstyle guitar and harmonica.

My arrangement of the fingerstyle version can be downloaded here.

I used this song to practise my 3-draw double bend on the diatonic harp.  Still need practices.
