@BeehiveChina I saw this on twatter.. Couldn't resist..
'And this, believe it or not, is precisely what is being done to the peoples of the so-called democratic free world. Your 'owners' run in opposite directions. You call it #democracy. It's actually #Duopoly. Also known as #Spin. #DivideAndConquer? #DivideAndConfuse 🤪🤡😂😉😕🧐
Daze And Confuse?
The 'BGM' is Queen's 'Tie Your Mother Down' which I mixed with a Zhuang Folk Song from Guangxi China - Probably the first piece of music I made after coming to #China in 2014. I was listening to this Zhuang folk song and the British rock band #Queen ~ There was a certain synergy ~ So I mixed them together..
Would that the world could be thus interwoven

'Mix your Zhuang Mother down!
'Mix Your Zhuang Mother Down (Zhuang traditional song and Queen's' 'Tie Your Mother Down' - (re)mixed by Barrie V ~
This is a piece of musical serendipity - I'd heard a wonderful traditional Zhuang folk song, and around the same time was listening to one of my all-time favourite bands, Queen, and in my head, Queens' 'Tie Your Mother Down' seemed to work perfectly with the Zhuang song..
I ran them both into 'CoolEdit' and found that they were both actually already in the same key! Even more than this they seemed to modulate at the same points and had a similar base rhythm.. (this version of Tie Your Mother Down is a kind of 'karaoke/KTV' version I found, - minus my hero Freddie Mercury's main vocal.. apologies Fred.. You're still utterly peerless and irreplaceable.. a true legend.. anyway.. I think you'd approve of this..
(I hope Brian likes it too.. he wrote it originally.. - still got yer solos in there Mr May!)
A dear friend who comes from Ping Guo told me her grandmother used to sing this very same folk song, and taught it to her, - it's a kind of love song, a call for a husband.. for love, sung by girls from the mountainsides in Guangxi.. how romantic! (and most amusing to my whimsical nature that it works so well with Queen's Tie Your Mother Down! ha. (thank you StellaTing) ' ~~~
