January 18, 2011 at 2:12 AMTo be honest John, I only know a few of his songs myself. The first thing I thought of when I listened to this lesson was the "Maestro" episode of Seinfeld.

I found a Chinese cover of Mother and Child Reunion (music anyway) on YouTube by a guy named Sam Hui, which sounds pretty good. Link, for those of you with access:

我可以是你久违的朋友, (Wǒ kěyǐ shì nǐ jiǔwéi de péngyǒu,)
我可以叫你 Betty, (Wǒ kěyǐ jiào nǐ Betty,)
和 Betty, 你叫我的时候, (Hé Betty, nǐ jiào wǒ de shíhou,)
你可以叫我 Al, (Nǐ kěyǐ jiào wǒ Al,)
叫我 Al, (Jiào wǒ Al)

All apologies to Mr. Simon. ;-)

January 17, 2011 at 12:42 AMHmmm, my dictionary says that it's used for "livestock," and "garlic."
When I was a kid, I asked my neighbour, a dairy farmer, how many cows he had. He answered, "24 head."
"So, how many are in a 'head'," I asked. (What a dumb kid, I was.)
And garlic! Go figure.
