Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
Just a brief profile to introduce myself, having joined some months ago.<\/p>\n
The Stars-in-Concert was my first attendance which I thoroughly enjoyed and got to meet some nice people too. I was warmly welcomed by Ms Susan Chan (at the door) and other members like Ms Lily Ho including Mr Terence Seah, the man who started it all.<\/p>\n
I find the SHC a great platform for fellowship, free to choose activities and most interestingly a very vibrant forum posting community. E.g. I enjoy reading the hilarious lines and wisecracks of Mr Tim Liu who got me into stitches at times.<\/p>\n
Like some of you, I am a ‘baby boomer’ (those born between l947 – l957) now retired from active business after having been involved in the Retail, F & B , Entertainment & Logistic industries for sometime.<\/p>\n
My current social interests involved supporting the grass root activities of community clubs, charity shows, concert hosting, stage managing and emceeing (MC) of events.<\/p>\n
Also, just for the kicks and to entertain myself (and friends) I formed a 5-piece Pop band where I’d sing and play the electric guitar. Playing with the guitar was my first love affair – at age 14. Now, me and my band ( Pat & Patricians) would ‘rock it up’ once a week in our own Music studio at a community club. <\/p>\n
We play a genre of songs and guitar instrumental hits ‘down memory lane’ of the 60s, 70s & 80s. <\/p>\n
I love to play hits from the likes of The Beatles, CCR, Bee Gees, Rollin Stones, Deep Purple, Scorpion, Eagles, Bread, Doobie Brothers, Simon & Gar, Eric Clapton, John Denver, Rod Stewart, shakin Steven, Boney M, Carpenters, Cliff Richard & Shadows, Jumping Jewels and of course the King of Rock n Roll – Elvis Presley & more ! <\/p>\n
At times, I get invited to play and sing at entertainment pubs, charity shows, members club, cc, concerts and other social events. <\/p>\n
Its a wonderful and splendid feeling if you sing from your heart or hear songs that you once so cherished. Its like ‘yesterday’ once more. Personally, I find it very therapeutic. <\/p>\n
So, if any fellow members who’d like to sing, play the guitar (keyboard\/drum), dance (rock n roll, disco rock, chacha, rhumba, waltz, country line etc) or just want to relax and ‘gelek gelek’ – you ‘re most welcome to join me in my ‘musical jam’ down memory lane. <\/p>\n
Meawhile, here’s wishing all SHC folks a Rollin Good Time ahead. <\/p>\n
Regards, <\/p>\n
