Lovely tunes. Enjoyed those.

Regarding Taoism, in English the word is usually spelt 'Tao' (sometimes 'Dao') but is always pronounced 'Dao'. Tao translated in English means the 'Way' or 'Path' or increasingly 'Process' but it's an ambiguous word with enigmatic meaning and, as you say, the only way to even half understand it is to experience it first hand.

My signature is a pun, a simple play on words, but with deep meaning for those with knowledge of Zen and Taoism. A friendly, cheeky poke in the eye of Zen. I didn't come up with it myself though.
