David Carradine R.I.P
First heard about the Tao from "Kung Fu" when I was a kid. Also my first taste of "ethnic" music.
That series made an indelible mark on me that continues today.

Re: David Carradine R.I.P
Same here. Taken in the context of its time it really was pretty groundbreaking. I loved the whole loner/alien fugitive/kickass but peace-loving mystique. It in many ways began forming my path as well- many memories of watching it as a kid every week with my father. I bought the 2 series on dvd and watched them again in the last couple of years- still very cool.

He was a great guy and will be missed. He also played flute too. As I remember. It wasn't a shakuhachi though.
I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.

He played a transverse flute in KUNG FU and KILL BILL.

Re: David Carradine R.I.P
Nice clip. I watched 'Kung Fu' faithfully every week when the show came out; was learning Tae Kwon Do, my first martial art, at the time. R.I.P.
