My love for pansori

OMG I FINALLY BOUGHT THESE CDS. I actually hate typing in caps but it helps to capture my excitement. :D People who know me well will know that I loveee pansori. Okay I went to read that 2012 blog post again and I think I'm still as in love hahaha. Actually I can't really tell if I like pansori in general, or that I like pansori performed by 안숙선 선생님. iTunes has a full album of the 춘향가 performance but I didn't…
