Subject

It's kind of hard to review my information when it's protected from my viewing it for my protection. I think my registrar is going a bit overboard in complying with the GDPR.

Sigh.

Yes. It is music. I identified it. What more do you want?

Bunny and I had dinner at a nearby Chinese restaurant. As we ate, Bunny mentioned that the music we were listening to must be the Chinese equivalent to elevator music. I concurred, and because I was curious to know what it was, I thought I might try to use Shazam to identify it.

It did.
