Soulful Saturday.

Two blogosphere citizens, one a prominent blogger, the other a prolific commentator, were perceptive enough to point out the similarities between the title of my article, Where Have All The Chinese Gone to a very popular song. The prominent blogger, Dato Kadir Jasin even came out with his own rejoinder which was so tongue-in-cheekish- Where Have All the Indians Gone.

The song is Where Have All the Flowers Gone. It was sung among others by Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio, Joan Baez and Marlene Dietrich.

When I first heard that song, it had such haunting and soulful lyrics. I would like to share the song with my readers this morning. So, enjoy.
