Hokkien Songs
I've been doing some digging, and once I have my Teresa Teng album (which will come next year), I will only be missing one song out of all of the songs from the tape I lost. (The song I'm still missing is "雾夜的灯塔." If you find it and want to upload it, that's great. If not, I've bookmarked this collection of Hokkien songs that has it.)
Anyways, here are a few versions of the songs I have:
锣声若响 - Feng Fei Fei
白牡丹 - Feng Fei Fei, Jody Chiang
河边春梦 - Feng Fei Fei
六月茉莉 - Feng Fei Fei, Jody Chiang
孤恋花 - Jody Chiang
安平追想曲 - Jody Chiang
思想起 - Jody Chiang
望春风 - Long Piao Piao, David Tao
雨夜花 - Feng Fei Fei
阮不知啦 - Feng Fei Fei
The tape was instrumental, but it had a very full sound with an orchestra backing up the yangqin soloist, so the other instrumental versions of these songs feel like they're missing something in comparison. That's why I've gone for vocal renditions instead.
I've learned my lesson, though: My car's tape player is mean. Maybe it's because I use a cassette adapter so much, since I don't have a dock for my MP3 player. There are obvious advantages to using an MP3 player in the car, since there aren't any CDs for teenagers to steal and I can use it at work. (The robbers in my neighborhood are definitely teenagers. They only steal electronics out of my dad's truck, even though his tools are worth a lot more. They also tried to break into the house. Instead of running off with stuff from the garage, they tried to turn the alarm off in the kitchen. If the police actually cared, in which case they wouldn't take over an hour to get to someone's house when there's a break-in to see if everyone's dead, couldn't they use that for fingerprints? And, seriously, what retard thinks he can pick out the right code?!)
