Last year I was in the Chinese village of Song Pan, up the mountain about nine hours from Chengdu. It's not in Tibet, but definitely on the road, and has a very strong Tibetan feeling. I met some wonderful local folks from the Happy Trails Horse Trek company, and they shared some tea, and songs and dances that I didn't see/hear anywhere else in China. So I left them the lyrics to "Happy Trails"(Roy Rogers/Dale Evans), which we all sang together! Does anyone know more about the music of this region?
