Leaf playing in China

Chinese leaf-blower

(Click photo above for a larger version.)

A leaf player as part of a music ensemble on a "Ceremonial Bridge" in Nanning, Guanxi, China, as part of a Zhuang marriage ceremony rehearsal in 2007. The leaf player, on the right, has a branch of leaves, enabling him to change to a new leaf as one dries out or becomes unplayable. Thanks to Terry Harville of Little Rock for the photo and the information.
