Ayaw katawa, Q. That's the best I could do (for now). Mas lami man
god ang site nga naay semi-intro ba. If you want something else,
we'll do... ipada lang.
Note: Instant thought ra ning write up, after we talked on the phone
tonight, but with a lot of truth to it... that you may not now about. I
remember, way back in 1976, after my high school graduation, Dr.
Brydz (Brydon Lungay - kuyaw nimong disciple and admirer) teaching
Meo Mascarinas and Jimmy Cempron (now in Austria) the broken-
chord stuff that you started in the seminary, while our UB-related frat,
the Puppies., were having a get together at the Sayson's residence
near the new Capitol Building. That was when Meo and Jimmy were
just starting out, and they in turn taught many band members of
Deltas the stuff which had become popular among Tagbilaran
musicians (Cesar Plazo, Pepot Besas, even Pedring, etc) in the 80s.
Whether you knew that or not, and whether we're still conscious of it
or not, but those little events of the past have bonded lots of people
together over lapads of Tanduay or galons of tuba over time, and
established friendship that up to now is quite strong, respectable and
second-to-none! I felt lucky to have been at the right place and the
right time to witness all those... and, unbelievably, those people I
mentioned haven't forgotten it. Uniquely Bol-anon!
