Hello GAWN, thank you for your kind words. I will make the video available again for you right away! http://youtu.be/pgN6zu0J65g

Now, a phd in southeast asian studies? Ha! THAT's what i call against all odds! Although, yes, i myself had to do an introductory course to south east asian studies when i was studying in the national university of Singapore. It's very interesting to know that you were once here in this region before. Indeed it is not easy to earn a living by something that one could say is, slightly irrelevant to society in Asia. But there is indeed a niche market and at the end of the day all depends on the amount of work that one is willing to put in...and the sacrifices one is willing to make. Who knows what will happen in the future but we all try!

Regards,
Howard

p.s. like what you said about "the sheer ability to play a simple, lyrical piece with a pleasurable, soft and smooth sound that a listener would enjoy instead of running away from it...", that itself is enough to bring you on absolutely the right track. at the end it all boils down to careful study and 1.5 hours a day is not so bad, really. All the best!
