I used to maintain a website about Shanghai, shanghaisoup.com, from which I constructed my screen name, Gary Soup.  For a number of reasons, I have let that website expire.  However, the site had one popular feature, a collection of Zhou Xuan song files, which I have decided to keep on-line because they have brought joy to quite a few people and hopefully, will to more.  Consider them authentic Shanghainese dinner music!
