The Butterfly Farewell

In 2004, I traveled to China to visit Anping, the source of 99% of the world's bow hair. I also visited several violin factories in Heibei province and Beijing. It was at one of those visits that I chanced to meet a middle aged violinist who shared a portion of The Butterfly Lovers song with me. I, of course, shared Ashokan Farewell with him. This is that song. #China #Anping #ButterflyLovers #AshokanFarewell #Fiddles Buy your own copy for only $1.50: https://vervemusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-butterfly-farewell
