Very interesting to read about the happy pasts. Also, thanks to Fabian for his contribution to your blog. I still like the Redifusion box set of the past. It was where we older generation got to know the many pop bands and singers then. Based on our standard of living then, very few families could afford to own radio sets which were considered expensive items.

I remember the jam sessions after the business of meetings was taken care of. Charlie and Dora were really hospitable and we treated the studio as if it were our own! Will always remember Charlie's favourite, WALKING MY BABY BACK HOME. One of Dora's favourites was Distant Drums.<br /><br />Thanks again Fabian. Hope to see you at Pek Kio on Saturday.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />John CherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627468033353477649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-15087949856945061942015-12-02T22:06:33.929+08:002015-12-02T22:06:33.929+08:00From nowhere on the Content Top Ten list to number...From nowhere on the Content Top Ten list to number 2 within hours.

Thanks for sharing your stories w...Hi Fabian Foo. Thanks for sharing your stories with us. I enjoyed reading them and the stories brought back some fond memories to me as well. The "threat" to terminate the Rediffusion audio service sounds really familiar. We have to live with "threats" all the time during our younger days. Wow! Never knew you were such a good student. Being "1st boy" is way out for me. Never thought of achieving it as I know it is beyond me! haha Recently my granddaughter, who is doing her Pr 1 at St Nick's told me she was "5th girl" and I told myself thats better than your grandfather ever did. Then I realised she was "5th girl" in the entire Pr 1 cohort! Quite embarassing! Anyway, I remember fiddling around with my Rediffusion set and added an extra speaker to the system. It was very loud and sounded "shiok". The only problem was that I cannot control the volume! And therefore it was a real nuisance to everyone at home. So got "threatened" to get rid of my "invention" or the service will be disconnected!<br /><br />Your recollection about saving pennies and dimes to buy records was familiar too. One record I purchased through this method was His Latest Flame by Elvis. I remember Kwang Sia Records too but for a different reason. A fren of mine shared with me that when he was in secondary school, he was giving tuition to one of the daughters of K.S R boss. He told me that she was really pretty and he would have willingly gave her tuition for free! (not only the acadamic type of tuition)!<br /><br />By the time Tower Records at Pacific Plaza came into the scene, my interest was looking for old movies, rather than music cds. One of my prized collection was a four set Johnny Weismullar Tarzan classic. The titles were; Tarzan Finds A Song, Tarzan's Secret Treasure, Tarzan's New York Adventure and Tarzan the Apeman. It costs $200.00! Two Westerns I was always looking for were The Proud Ones and Warlock but never found them there.<br /><br />Finally thanks for posting the Silver Strings version of Dance On. That was almost exactly one year ago at Sentosa! How time flies.<br /><br />Keep your stories coming Fabian!<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />John CherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627468033353477649noreply@blogger.com
