Would be glad, really. Please write anytime. <br /><br />C: I would be happy to write a nostalgic piece about having grown up with 60s musicians. My father and uncle - Zainal Abidin and Jerry Murad - were both in The Dukes :)<br /><br />A: Numbed. Your daddy is Zainal? I'm in touch with him all the time. Please write the nostalgic piece if you can. And reveal yourself if you want to?<br /><br />C: Indeed he is! Sounds great, Andy. I'll send you something by mid-November. Am in the midst of clearing some backlog now since having return from Phoenix two days ago.

Jerry is a very talented musician and contributed his God given talent to the musical industry in Singapore. <br /><br />There were instances where my band THe Neufaces appeared along with his band on the same stage.

I hv indelible memories of the band performing lively music at Celestial room and Ocean Park. In fact, the band needs to be admired for entertaining senior citizens with oldies at the Outdoor Esplanade Theatre not too long ago. The band boys never seem grow old except more grey hairs. Long live the band.SUNNY WEEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-90490411021594532332016-01-09T13:37:13.106+08:002016-01-09T13:37:13.106+08:00Andy,

This is one of the tribute and pioneer to our local musicians of the 60's. This is what we call passion by an individual for the love of music.<br /><br />Cheers to Jerry and also many others who are still rocking and rolling themselves in pursuit of their passion.<br /><br />I hope to see more performances and gigs in the coming months.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Fabian Foo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
