I reside in a new colony for the Chinese-singing banjo player, with a population of one. At least I have something I have to do with my life.

Hogslop is the real deal groovilicious honkin old-time string band. Guaranteed old-time awesomeness with these fellas around!

I'm, I guess you could say, the Chinese-speaking, banjo-picking girl.

Is it an original idea? Or is it something where you're literally a creative collagist? You're taking pieces of the world that you see around you and that are inside of you and put them together in a way that you see fit.

I tried to play flute because all the pretty girls played flute.

I really believe in the power of music.

For most Americans, my Chinese music feels like a novelty and it's not what it is for me.
