Ricky Nelson: 'Garden Party' [Live]
YouTube by: ShoutFactoryVEVO
"I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
I played them all the old songs
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
We didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself..."

"It’s really wonderful to see gathering photos of Mr Tan Soo Khoon’s Garden Party. This brought back memories whenever I visited my father-in-law living in Tanglin Halt Road. As I speak fluent Teochew, he never failed to speak very highly of Mr Tan with his praises.
Mr Tan takes pride in his work despite his heavy schedule. As I look back, Mr Tan is truly a blast from the past and he reminded me of this singer with the warmest voice in the world.
Brother Andy. Cheers👍❤️🥰.." [Edited].

ReplyDeleteFoo Jong Fook hello! Thanks Fabian for the greeting. How's the holiday? Did you buy the cheese cake from Osaka? 🙂
Hi Dennis, Thanks for being the early bird to visit this post. Appreciate.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an enjoyable evening. I see Vernon, Larry, John Cher and Andy. Others dont ring any recognition. Nice of Soo Khoon to host the party.
ReplyDeleteHi ANDY YOUNG. Your ability to create stories is quite amazing. Little wonder that your blog has attracted such a big international readership. Heartiest congrats! Mr and Mrs TAN SOO KHOON are really wonderful people. It is such a massive exercise to organize a party for so many people for so many years. People like them are getting close to extinction. It's a complete privilege to be in the loop for the annual CNY gathering. Thank you very kindly for sharing the above photo. Appreciate it very much.
