  1. Woodie Alan is a great band. Love Beijing Blues! The voice in the video is Paul Alan. In addition to forming the band Woodie Alan, he also wrote a bestseller called “Big In China” which is a great read. I highly recommend it. Also, his wife is a Journalist with the Wall Street Journal Asia where I find the very best news stories. They are both very talented and interesting people.

  4. I knew if I found the right mirror, I would find beauty.

    Norah Jones did did a version of this song at Steve Jobs Memorial. But you need a couple of glasses wine in you on a rainy Saturday night to appreciate.
