congrats to a gig well done!
tb, felix, derek, jac, congrats!! good to know that ur gig was so successful! =)
some excerpts from jac's column, "...just got back from the gig. everything went pretty smoothly...except for some minor parts here and there. But we're satisfied. i'm happy. it felt especially good towards the end, while we were just jamming freely..derek suggested we do can't take my eyes off you, and boy was that a good choice. oon's got a good voice for frank songs, plus we were all really in the mood for it already. we were playing it and then people started coming out to dance...young, children, even aunties and uncles! it feels good to see people dancing to your music..even better when you see the joy on their faces. i saw this old couple dancing to the song..it was really sweet, age-old love..."
the last time in singapore i saw ppl dancing to my music was back in year 1992, when i was still a sec 1 kid, playing with the saints band outside raffles city, the then sogo. some caucasian backpackers took off their backpacks, and started dancing to our music rite there! so yes jac, i know what you mean that it feels good to see people dancing to your music. this experience is probably gonna stick with you for life =)
to think back, one of the biggest thing that i find really hard to part with when i decided to come to japan was this band and this band of ppl. felt that i was forsaking them or something. but now, i know, perhaps my departure was a blessing in disguise - they got a better singer now, and moved on to better things... for me? well i'm cool... tb suggested that i can do backup/play sax or flute... haha if i am deemed a surplus, maybe i can try to look for some ppl to form an a capella group when i get back... i always think that when few sounds from musical instruments combine together, it is a wonderful thing to behold... more so when few voices come together... ahh... that's really the most beautiful thing on earth と思う... songs from jewel's christmas album come immediately to mind... you can try listening to the samples here... check out "rudolf" and "i wonder as i wander", both, if i am not wrong, by jewel and her mum. absolutely beautiful...
