Is that the most racist thing you could think to say? Amatuer! This is Trump's America. Either bring the grade A top shelf racism, or don't even bother.

Please return to your village - it's missing its idiot.
Luna lee plays R&B and Rock classics on a traditional Korean instrument known as the gayageum, a 12-string zither-like instrument related to the Chinese guzheng, Japanese koto, and Vietnamese đàn tranh. A quiet instrument with a beautiful sound, the gayageum was originally designed to play traditional Korean music in a small room during intimate gatherings. But Luna plays it like a rockstar. She saw amazing potential and possibilities in the gayageum, even though she recognized that its quiet sound was not well-suited to music created for drums, bass, and guitar. So Luna got busy. First she re-developed her gayageum for a sound that better matched modern instruments – increasing the volume and pressure, developing the tone, and increasing the sustain. Then she studied guitar effects and amplifiers, experimenting to see how they fit her instrument. And finally, she started playing contemporary music on it. The results of her efforts are stunning. It is as exciting to watch Luna play her music as it is to hear her play. Her passion for the music is obvious. Whether she is playing a rock classic like “Voodoo Child” or an iconic R&B track like B.B. King’s, “The Thrill is Gone,” Luna’s body language expresses the same mix of tension and ecstasy you see when great guitarists/musicians lose themselves in the music.
This is an absolute hoot! I love it totally and unconditionally!
The artist at work.
Jimi is rolling in his grave...
...a fat one... ?
I hope G.A.W.D. forgives you. Sushi is Japanese. Racial remarks ain't cool, even when you've dun gawn off and got the wrong nationality.
Dreamt of being the first to learn this cool instrument, the KayaGeum, and play it into modern, chill music; but Luna beat me to it!
Many folks here in Korea enjoy this peerless eclectic music station. Thanks Bill! You're recipe needs a hint of . . . nothing! It's a perfect blend!
A year later and this still hasn't been fixed.
Come on Bill... I know there's a pandemic and all, but...
Glitch in our system. It doesn't allow 2 different artists with the same name. We'll fix that shortly.

I like the gayageum instrument which brings a quirky dimension to the tune. A woman to look out for. Thanks again to RP for yet another new artist I'd not have heard otherwise. 7 from the Nottingham jury, likely to grow.
