This is another recording session with the blind minstrel, Wichian, who had traveled from N.E. Thailand to Chiang Mai to play for his living. These three pieces are among his most expressive and entertaining.

Wichian’s Khaen photographed after the recording session. The two hanging strings have balls of “Keesoot” (sticky paste) and the ends for plugging various holes to produce constant drone pitched for the various modes.
