老宋:
I just read your follow-up posts corresponding to YuGong’s, and I was amused by your sense of “dry humor”, and much more touched by your sentiments associated with your extraordinary war experiences in Iraq & Kosovo. Though I myself have never been in, or even close to, a killing field, but I can empathize what you’d gone through, and your longing for a piece of music that can relate the sentimental experience of your past.
Not sure how accessible to the Iraqi music due to the warfare that’s still ravaging that country, it just occurred to me that Badari (搬得累) band has a piece of music, The Star of Baghdad, and hope that could shed some light on your emotional craving, even though there might not be much Iraqi flavor in the music except the title.
Have a great weekend!

YuGong,
我沒有親眼在戰場見過真實的慘烈場景。但因工作關係,我看過大量,可以說天天都可以見到血腥的戰場現狀,還有那些有意無意形成的慘烈景象,諸如爆炸、槍擊、車禍、火災、水災、地震、泥石流,應有盡有。那些殷紅殷紅的鮮血,那些還在掙紮的活死屍,以及科索沃、伊拉克等地無辜死難者的被炸飛的殘肢斷臂,及至變質的腐屍。慘不忍睹的也要看。這些都是記者冒著生命危險在槍林彈雨中拍攝的,未經過任何加工的原始資料。是電視上公開播放時絕對見不到的。因為如此,我才對槍炮有獨特的敏感性。
至於伊拉克,你一定覺得奇怪,怎麽我會懷念那裏?你有所不知,我在80年代初,曾在那裏工作過兩年。在北部接近土耳其的庫爾德地區,那裏每逢十月之後雨季來臨,山坡上到處一片蔥綠,說綠茵茵的地毯絲毫也不誇張。而春季一到,更是陽光明媚,山花爛漫,那種秀氣可餐的景象不亞於你那些歌曲配的畫麵。不信,我可以給你看我曾寫過的一些文章,一看便知。
哎呀,又說多了。簡直是“灶王爺打筋鬥,離板了”。明白這句話的意思嗎?灶王爺是貼在灶台上方的牆上,它前麵是釘在牆上的一條木板,放置香爐。它本是在木板上坐著的,它一旦打起筋鬥,豈不離(開)板(子)了?哈哈!等著你的好歌。謝謝。

YuGong,
這段音樂很優美,我很喜歡。不過我有點不解,這麽悠揚的樂聲,那麽美麗的風景,配合起來很諧調,可後來突然有幾門大炮奪目而出,叫我不寒而栗,令我眼前出現炮火連天,血肉崩裂橫飛,傷心慘目的景象。我不懂藝術,隻是直覺。說到這裏,我想問你是否有配上伊拉克背景的音樂,我很懷念伊拉克。如果有,請分享。謝謝。
