Leaving A Singapore Music Heritage: By Wilfred Lim
UP TO 250 VIEWS, 20 COMMENTS, CHATS
Dear Andy,
Many people have not heard of the expression, 'No man is an island'. They do not think of leaving a heritage. They only live for themselves. Unlike for example... like what you are doing for others through your present MUSIC BLOG. It will be remembered for perpetuity that is when you are long gone... people outside your own family will remember you as the creator of this music blog.
Whereas in my case only my immediate family members will, hopefully, remember me from time to time... By comparison your music blog will go on as long as there is music. That's why I was glad you did not let a local organisation take over your music blog when they approached you some years ago.
Well done my friend! This blog is your niche. No one can take it away. God Bless you my brother! Am proud of you!
Wilfred Lim.
18.08.2023.
An old classmate from St. Andrew's Singapore, London-trained architect Wilfred Lim has always been honest and sincere with his words. We have been keeping in touch for many years even after his studies in the Commonwealth capital.
Wilfred is not only a lawn tennis ace, he plays the guitar, teaches the ukulele and writes with distinction.
Thanks Wilfred for the encouraging words and for writing the letter independently. Like you said, we are octogenarians and have been a long time on Mother Earth, so no faking the media.
Keep that tennis racket swinging my brother.
Below are two songs, favourites of Wilfred's.
Have I Told You Lately That I Love You: Patti Page
It is only that you have to passion to keep this music blog going and alive. Of course it is also because you enjoy the music with much love and dedication. Also through the posts, you make new and old friends from anywhere in the world. Great job, good effort and keep us active in our silver years.

Well done Andy, He is right. You could have sold it to an enterprise to make money, but you didn't. God knows how the buyer would have commercialised your blog.
Money isn't everything and so should it be. Andy you made your blog a piece of yourself and have been weaving the fabric of music with support from fellow musicians and lovers of your music craft. Stay true my brother and enjoy your passion. Only you know what you feel when you present your blog. Well done.
Fred Ching Your friends all over the world are forever grateful to you for spending your precious time to inject new energy and life to this impressive blog, Brother Andy. I’m also appreciative of how much work and artistry you put in to it. BTW, Wilfred is spot on writing this!! Bravo to him, and two of his chosen songs. Elvis Presley.. How Great Thou Art;.. another amazing song from this treasured album came to mind.. Track 13 from my favourite greatest singer of all time.. Crying In The Chapel 👍❤️🥰…
Andy Young Fred Ching hello again! You have a hold on most songs and their singers. And the greatest pop star, unequalled, sang many gospels. Yes, Wilfred sings them too. Thanks Fred for yet another visit.

Yours is about the only blog that I've come across that is neither advertorial nor sponsored. It makes reading the many interesting articles more pleasurable - no irritating adverts bombarding the screen of your mobile/computer/tablet. Kudos to you for keeping it this way.
