We had our annual HP site New Year's party on January 11th. No, they didn't

celebrate it late... Chinese New Year, the biggest holiday of the year, is actually on February 7th! It was a fun evening, and more than a little stressful as I was expected to help provide entertainment for a group of about 300 people. I was asked to play guitar and sing (solo!) a traditional Chinese love song in Chinese. I was accompanied by a colleague playing an instrument called a Guqin (pronounced Goo-cheen). Later in the evening I was in a quartet singing "Get Around" by the Beach Boys. A memorable evening!
