[l] "Freda Hanum hi, coming from you, a musician too, the comment is a compliment! Appreciate that you agree because I have become very selective with the choices of videos put up, knowing that there are many music makers in our chat and FB group. Thanks again Freda." [Andy]

[j] "What a beautiful instrumental rendition of this charity single classic, Brother Andy. I was fortunate to have watched the co-writer of the song, and Five-time Grammy winner, Lionel Richie and he was in Singapore for an exclusive one-night only performance. He certainly set the bar high at this show and kept the audience enthralled with his energy and showmanship all night long and of course, the concert would not have been complete without this song. Cheers and blessings to all👍❤️🥰…"

if anyone else knows this family, please write to me. 

Wonderful people that we meet in our lives.
