ShàoXīng is a water-town not far from HangZhou.
The East Lake is situated six kilometers (four miles) to the east of the historic ShaoXing city. The exquisite crescent-shaped lake is hemmed in by a hill formed of bluestone, a material widely used in building houses, bridges and roads. Stoneworkers have quarried from this hill since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) and over time the hill became hollowed out, leaving only steep cliffs, a deep pool and a number of grottoes. During the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911 AD), the lake was beautified with diverse bridges, pavilions and willow trees.

If I could fly - Joe Satriani - cover by YOYO (October 2020).
Awesome ...
Loving it ... Go, YoYo, Go ! ...
Not the most technically challenging (YoYo level), but really has passion and feeling; a beautiful realisation of a beautiful song. We hear so much here, from Chris Rea to ZZ Top, Dire Straits to Gary Moore, to Jimmy Page; full of nuance; so great. The slides, timing and guitar tuning (balance of pure and grunge) all excellent; all made to look easy, which means the spirit if soaring !
Imagine - imagine the billion people across this planet who'd like to fly, if they had the chance.
All the talent and all the dreams and all the love quashed, by those who clip our wings in the name of profit, or hegemony, or whatever ...
Imagine no fear of poverty; no being taught to fear 'the other'.
Just imagine - if we could all fly ...
All of us.
What a wonderful world that would be.
