David's 1st eNewspaper

2 vry talented singer/songwriter yeah! David send out his vry 1st eNewspaper & its really great. Vry well done. Since dun wanna encroach on his copyright by displaying it here, saved as html file in Yahoo briefcase for those who unable to register on mailing list or mail cannot display properly. Username & password r in Media file sharing forum. Dun hav to dl just doubleclick to display, but do remember to click back to log out.
(Seemed sum ppl cannot display the enewspaper in html format, so created this page so ppl can see it as I feel its really nice & a pity if David fans dun get to see it, but will delete the page once problem is fixed.)
Anyway vry exciting as David has lotsa activities this weekend starting tonight from 7.00pm where he has press conference, then guest @ Entertainment Online & chat online @ Eastday. Will update if & when can find news on them. Tomorrow he will be guesting @ two programs, and on 7/11, his birthday, he will be holding a press conference in Grand Hyatt Shanghai for his Love Can concerts. July activities all updated @ forum. This must be the 1st time David celebrate his birthday so publicly. Hope there be lotsa pixs as running outta nice pixs to post hehehehehehehehehehe
There will also be new merchandise on sale with the Zhe distinctive logo like this tee, vry cool. DT forum will also be down for 2 hrs from midnight to 2am for sum changes on 7/10, so plse take note altho dun think the ppl who come here visit the forum much.
Sorry for delay in posting latest news as cut 2 fingers badly & even tho my left hand, still diff to type. Glad u guys like Sweet hour of prayer, as for jj wanting the original english version, must point out the music for this hymn was composed around the 1800s to be sang in churches. Can go here to sample Tennessee Ernie Ford's version but in the style of his days if u know what I mean. Midi of this hymn readily available online, just do Goggle search. David's version is more updated & even tho in chinese, I find it vry accessible as can really feel his wholehearted devotion.
As I mentioned in shoutbox he could be the 1st & maybe the only chinese pop singer to translate & sing a 19th century english hymn for his album. Of cos Tension oso sang a translated & modern version of Amazing Grace but this popular hymn has been translated many times in many other languages. Still David has always been innovative & very fresh in his approach to music. I hope he will include Sweet Hour of Prayer in his Love Can concert.
