I love your presentation style. You mix music/theory/culture/history/art and mash them all together with a healthy dose of practicality. And to make it all fun to watch in the end. Amazing! —Brian

Hey Brian, Thanks so much! I think the most important part is the practicality. It’s where I excel - sometimes to a fault!

I’m just starting this course, and appreciate the effort that you’ve put into it.
I was wondering how the first site you referenced for Nani Kaala (Nani Kaala) came up with the English translation “Famous for the utility towers.” It just didn’t fit for multiple reasons but it predates the LLM insanity so a human must have put some thought into it. But there’s not a lot of information on the Internet about this traditional song. The later translation you gave “famous bamboo” definitely fits!
