I was backpacking in Europe in 1993, and when I arrived at Zell-Am-See train station in Austria. this Gabriel fellow appeared and asked me if I was from Malaysia.

I recall seeing them perform at Babarella around 1973 - they along side with foreign acts such as Downbeats, Bazaar(?) (From Down under), The Jaspers(?). Anyone remember Phase 5 that sort of evolved from 10th Storey Selegie House? Benny and the Fishermen? AMMO?

Thank god we enjoyed the 60's and 70's. Life took a change after the 80's onwards.<br /><br />All those that I knew came from Jalan Kayu and Seletar Hills.<br /><br />Actually years ago I had met Mike Bangar through my friend Evans Barnabas at the Ladyhill Hotel. Evans was a singer and lead guitarist from another band. Most of my friends like them because those days all with talent shared a common ground and we knew how to take a break and unwind.<br /><br />Now it's just work, work, work...<br /><br />LAURENCE LIM ('GRANDFATHER' FOR 'YOURE THE BOY' YOUTUBE VIDEOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-31723343581953706332017-07-18T10:35:16.074+08:002017-07-18T10:35:16.074+08:00Hi Irene,
