ReplyDeleteIt's a great pity most band boys and girls have not been able to perform at the local hotels, entertainment centres, clubs and restaurants, especially those who need to earn a living. Let's all hope for the best.

I have never seen any of Silver Strings in person, as a matter of fact.
ReplyDeleteBut having seen so many their videos and articles, in addition to so many mails from Audie Ng, Each Silver String seems already like old friends of mine.
A late thank you note to both CEDRIC COLLARS and HIROSHI DEGUCHI for the compliments accorded.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, one of these days, SILVER STRINGS could be in attendance to perform for both of you - one from JAPAN and the other from AUSTRALIA.
And CHARLIE, FREDA too.
Thanks.
KEEP SAFE.
