I beg your forgiveness for mistakes and things that you might not like about this book. I know I could have done a better
job—I should have done more field-work. The legendary singer deserves much more. But also, I feel that it’s never too early for a book like this to be born into this world. Like an anxious lover, who cannot wait to meet his beloved, I am in a hurry to deliver this book to the legendary singer. I pray that you will overlook the deficiencies and consider the book as an attempt not from a scholar but from an ardent admirer and a diehard fan, which I solemnly am.
