Drinking Isatis root tea 板蓝根 with Goji berries 枸杞 in it and soaking up the lovely sunshine before going into my music studio.
Finally, it’s the season to wear my favorite hat which I sewed the beads on.

1229 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Zebra grin 斑马笑
Today’s piece was recorded on 4-track guzheng. The inspiration came from a safari trip in South Africa about 15 years ago. I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy & cute zebras.

#1228 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Run, fawn, run 鹿儿, 你赶快跑
I created this 3-track guzheng piece today while thinking of the deer in the forest near my home in West Nashville. Hunting season has begun in Tennessee & I hope these deer escape the hunters’ arrows.

Today’s guzheng and vocal improvisation was inspired by an interesting discovery in my house. I was heating up lunch in the microwave while my husband was making an espresso with the coffee machine.

What a fun night performing w/ Abigail Washburn at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Gala and making new friends!
It’s nice to see senior officials & states people from 2 sides sit down to have dinner.
A battle of bands from both sides would be way cooler 😎🤘

#1224 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Think again 三思
In the world of AI, making mistakes is more valuable. At least it’s real. I took this photo yesterday near my home in Nashville. The colors are so intense under the sun that it looks almost like an oil painting.
