I was a pre-teen than. I remember James Choa and Charlie Koh demonstrating the guitar chords to me. <br />And upon my first return visit to Singapore after 14 yrs, my brother John took me to a club on Orchard to listen to a guy who sang lots of Nelson's song. My brother requested and dedicated the song "Travelin' Man" to me and it is still one of my favorite Nelson song today.henri gannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610861099580326249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-70958112438135862452016-12-31T18:06:30.906+08:002016-12-31T18:06:30.906+08:00I was stunned at hearing the tragic news in 1985. ...I was stunned at hearing the tragic news in 1985.

For the folks from my era, Ricky Nelson and Hank Williams are huge stars! It is profoundly sad that they passed away at such early ages. Of course they are not the only ones. The parallels would be James Dean, Bruce, Brandon Lee and others. Perhaps, just perhaps, it is God's way to remind all us that our earthly existence is as fragile as fragility could be! And if that be so, why all the useless pride, arrogance and sometimes cruelties that man show towards man! When a person dies, it does not matter if one is a king or a pauper! Lets all strive to enter 2017 a little kinder, a little more forgiving, and a little more humble. Humility is the virtue upon which all other virtues are built upon. But, truly a virtue worth achieving!<br /><br />Andy, your wonderful blog is educational as well as entertaining. It has been such a pleasure and privilege for me to have been able to contribute in a meagre way to it. <br /><br />Here's wishing you, your family and loved ones as well as all your readers, the very best for the New Year!<br /><br />God bless!<br /><br />John CherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627468033353477649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-15941494132217247652016-12-30T05:44:05.360+08:002016-12-30T05:44:05.360+08:00Thanks to John Cher and his Facebook friends for s...Thanks to John Cher and his Facebook friends for support and replies. <br /><br />End of year deaths is a topic much discussed currently with the passing away of 6 top celebrities these past few days.
