[KS] Kim Duk So on MBC

[Kevin P. Parks Adv97]

Hi.  Sorry if this seems to trite for the list but i saw a 
bit of Kim Duk Soo on MBC last night. It was a program 
called fusion concert i think. I only saw the tail end of 
it and due to bad reception saw only part of the picture. 
Just before the last piece called Oriental Express (ugh!) 
was a really wonderful court music piece, which might have 
been called Myong-sa (meditation), i am not sure. Anyway 
most of the show was typical non-fused fusion, like he 
often does -- dated 80's style jazz-rock fusion with 
poongmulpae. I like Kim Duk-soo, but don't care (to put it 
mildly) for the fusion stuff. But this piece was lovely as 
could be and was full of all those sweet sliding tones and 
pretty nong-hyun. Anyone know more about this piece? From 
what part of the rep. does it come from, etc. I missed the 
introduction as i was fumbling with the antenna. It started 
with a taegum solo and then was joined by a singer and 
dancer and eventiually heagum, etc. It seems like a 
straight ahead chong-ak.

Anyone?

Many thanks.
