Andy,
ReplyDeleteI don't know him personally.
But I saw him chatting with my musician friends.
I heard that he could make a girl cry just by playing his violin.
I met him because I grew up in a kampong with many Filipino musicians.
Thanks.
Yes he can make us cry with his violin. I have his vinyl on krontjong music...
DeleteHi Andy,
ReplyDeletethe passing away of a talented and accomplished violist. He played for my niece's wedding in 1983 playing - The wedding waltz. My dad played the alto sax. Sadly my dad later that day, had a ruptured stomach, ended in hospital. He died a few months later on 1 Dec 1983 due to a blundered surgery.

Thanks so much, Michael for sharing with our friends on FB. It is indeed sad to hear about your dad who had passed away and the death of Mr Tan today. God Bless and may they Rest In Peace.
Michael Lee
Yes, may all the wonderful musicians, singers, and entertainers - we were quite a close-nit community - Rest in Peace.

ReplyDeleteHi Andy, just to add, Julai and my dad loved kronchong music -

Hey Michael thanks, yes I remember your love for kroncong too.
Lovely they are: the musicians and the music.
Thanks to Sui Pang and Freda for the condolences.
My father would have remembered him.
ReplyDeleteHe too passed away at 94, 2 months ago.
Descansa en Paz.
ReplyDeleteyo soy su hija Elena Tan, de su mujer Española.
Me hubiera gustado conocerlo un poco más.
Rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI am his daughter Elena Tan, from his Spanish wife.
I would have liked to know him a little more.
RIP Julai Tan
ReplyDeleteHis passing is very sad. I was interested to read Jimmy's comment that he provided strings for the Straydogs 'Repent'. The only record I have with his name on it is a single by Zhu Jiang(Solo Chu)that credits backing to the Julai Tan Orchestra. Top notch, first rate stuff it is too. I played the Straydogs and Zhu Jiang in Julai Tan's honour last night.
Steve
My thank you note to all you Julai Tan people who responded to this posting.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
May he Rest In Peace.
(According to sources, there was no wake for Mr. Tan and the cremation in Mandai, was the evening @ 7.30pm. on the day that he passed away.)
Hi Andy Julai Tan played with my dad on radio as the Julai Tan Trio. Yes at that time we got to meet his Spanish wife and baby daughter, Elana I think was her name. Yes Julai and my dad had many musical gigs Julai on violin, Nune Collars, my dad, on Piano. Yes they were giants in their field of music. RIP dear souls of music. Thanks for letting me say a few words from Cedric Collars
