This is the best video ever!! Apparently it was already on CNN, I'm sure he will be live on Ellen next. There is a stupid commercial in the beginning but the baby follows right after. Enjoy-LWM
I decided to slow it down a little with my next record. I wrote this song with a wonderful producer/friend Uziel Colon. The track was mixed by a very talented up incoming engineer TQ. I hope you like the record/-LWM
JOHANNESBURG (AP)—It should have been a moment of triumph—Nelson Mandela, basking in the cheers as Africa’s first World Cup opened.
Instead, South Africa’s beloved anti-apartheid icon stayed at home with his family Friday in northern Johannesburg during the opening ceremony and game, mourning his 13-year-old great-granddaughter Zenani, who died in a car crash on the way home from a tournament-eve concert in Soweto.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation said the tragedy “made it inappropriate” for the former president, who is 91, to attend the opening ceremony in Johannesburg.

May has not been a good month for my erhus going overseas to USA. I had been sending erhus to USA for years and most I got are broken erhu necks. Never before had my Erhus been seized by the USA customs.
And in May I had 3 cases of my erhus being seized by Erhu customs. They took the erhu away and in some instances just delivered the bow to my customer. We subsequently received the below letter from them.
I was a little puzzled as we included the proper CITES certification below. I later realized that in addition to getting the CITES certificate, we have to get the box 15 endorsed by our AVA officers (the one that issued the certificate). It is as easy as bringing an erhu along while I collect the CITES certificate but, well, I wasn't told I need to do that.
It was clearly stated in box number 5 though but I guess I didn't notice since I had not been endorsing since 2 years ago and none of my erhus were seized.
Perhaps my luck ran out or perhaps the custom officers have taken a special interest in erhus lately. In any case, now we know what needs to be done. For those erhus that were seized we have sent replacement erhus at our own cost.
So for those living in USA who are buying erhus from overseas, please make sure the seller has the proper CITES documentations.
I appreciate the initiative of one of the custom officers to send one erhu back to us instead of seizing it. At least we still have the erhu. But we incurred some returned 'fright' charges, I suppose for scaring the shit out of him with the horribly scalely python skin on the Erhu.....ooooooh......

Anyway, here's installment 3 of Simple tunes for Erhu - Isle of Capri.
Ever wanted to imprint a corporate logo on a shaker wooden musical instrument? WorldMusicalInstruments.com can apply corporate logos to musical instruments or just provide the musical instruments and the advice so you can apply the corporate logo yourself.
Here's an example of a logo'd wooden egg shaker. The wooden egg shaker has a finish on it, so we found the best way to apply a logo to the curved egg shaker surface was to imprint the corporate logo onto a clear sticker, then apply the sticker to the egg shakers. A neutral color of egg shaker was chosen so that the logo shows up nicely.
As i prepare for my Summer Shows. I am happy to share another new song "Something In The Milk Ain't Clean" I will explain it later, although I think the song explains itself. Enjoy-LWM
