I'm sick of all the subjects that we've been beating to death.

I thought that I'd try Asian ladies' couture to see how many cosmopolitan sophisticates we have on board.

I got the expected answer.

Race stuff mostly. You’d think there was a race war going on.

Fingerstyle vs. classical vs. strumming.

We had luthiers in the family back in the old country, but they did mostly violins, mandolins, and celli.

That's only because nobody had heard Scotty Moore's solo on Hound Dog yet.

I'm going with Fingerstyle- Intervals of 6ths, more triads, alternating bass lines, using passing note of the melody, and alternate powerful chords!

It's a rewarding experience!

They mean the same thing as any intelligent, educated and sane adult can see. Potato, Potahto.

While the terms cheongsam and qipao are often used interchangeably (the two terms do indeed refer to the same piece of apparel), they actually have different origins. Cheongsam is from Cantonese and translates as “long gown” while qipao is from Mandarin and literally means “banner robe.”
