The General Invades China.
That would be TABASCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Blues Preacher explains what &#34;this&#34; is - H-A-R-M-O-N-I-C-A. <br />Gypsy describes how important this little instrument is to the blues music. Gypsy plays some dobro for the press during his Master Class in China. Gypsy played his dobro, discussed the origins of American Blues and talked about Jesus Christ. The segment made the national TV show in China under the &#34;Entertainment&#34; section - it goes out to a global audience - a great witness for Yeshua. The Blues Preacher performed for about 50 members of radio, magazine, and television. Giving them a dose of his brand of Messianic Blues. It was a Master Class designed to make the China consumers aware of American Blues and some of the traditional instruments used. Is this the right place????? In true street preacher fashion - The Blues Preacher takes the gospel to the streets of Shanghai - Gospel Train Coming - well folks - the Gospel Train&#39;s HERE! The Blues Preacher poses after a show in Shanghai with his trusty tamboruines. The General poses with two of his newest friends. Nathan Michael (center) who is the Gibson ER Pro in Shanghai - loaned Gypsy a Flying V and Les Paul for this tour. On the end is Wells Wang who is the Gibson China Customer Service Representative. Wells also acted as Gypsy&#39;s interpreter and took all the photos in this piece on China. THANKS Wells!!!!! Gypsy played for all the club owners who come out on a Sunday night. It was a great witness and a treat for all the onwers who don&#39;t get to see such a show. Gypsy was originally scheduled to play the big room downstairs - but due to the world cup matches he was moved upstairs. The downstairs crowd is the &#34;western&#34; crowd, lots of Americans and blues is big. He ended up playing for the Chinese businessmen, and children while they ate dinner. &#34; It was like playing a holiday inn in 1973&#34; says Gypsy. &#34;No electric guitars or stompbox, but I swung into a &#39;60&#39;s medley and by the end of the show they had a good dose of the Good News and were singing Twist n Shout and clapping their hands!&#34; Malones is a very upscale venue in the ex-patriot section of Shanghai. Jerusalem In Ruins never sounded so good. The master sound man mixed a great vibe for The General and he did the rest. Special thanks to Morey who owns Thanghai for a great time. Thanghai bar Thanghai bar was a very nice upscale venue in the middle of Shanghai. Gypsy performed a sizzling set to a great response. Gave away many CD&#39;s and preached the good news to a new crowd of listeners. The only rival was the World Cup match which followed his set. The Blues Preacher with his favorite Dobro &#34;Dutchie Boy Blue&#34; - a great witness was held in Shanghai for the entire week. Gypsy poses in this gritty bar called The Shuffle. Concrete dirt and some rocking blues.
