Thanks JERRY. Yes, local music has gone a long way since THE CRESCENDOS recorded their first SG made vinyl.<br /><br />You see Daniel, your story about being electrocuted brought in a suggestion by WEN HING about today's ITs advancement in the electronic field, and now the digital field. No problem about doing home recordings, etc. at its best.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-29010672952156600802021-04-29T14:42:46.520+08:002021-04-29T14:42:46.520+08:00As I was watching the documentary about local musi...As I was watching the documentary about local musicians, a name cropped up a few times - Jimmy Wee.. he took a chance on the local acts when he was told again and again that there’s no profit in it...<br /><br />I think the cost of such endeavours have gone way down, as technology has closed the gap on the process.. what is needed is a moral Jimmy Wee, no need deep pockets but need deep appreciation of the Singapore music scene.. of course contact and enterprise is a must...!<br /><br />Many musicians are turning to home studios.. affordable and accessible gear, technology and know-how (YouTube) has sprouted tons of “artiste”.. so we would need a Jimmy Wee to sieve out those that have potential and out weigh behind it to support it as far as it can go..WEN HINGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-31744350729992382222021-04-29T14:34:02.842+08:002021-04-29T14:34:02.842+08:00He was a Muslim who became a christian.

Reason we ( J&D'Peddlers) played guest band for their T Dance sessions at Hotel Prince Garni . This was handled by my Jimmy Eric who knew their manager Fernando Young...<br /><br />Very much later in 2014 , I meet Zainal Abidin (Daniel Abidin) and requested if he could get the band together for our Church fundraising dinner concert. Well Zainal got the group together once again after long long break. <br /><br />Yes they played together for the first time 4th July 2014 @ The Meritus Mandarin Orchard - ballroom. Thereafter they continued to perform &2013 had them at Esplanade concert Hall& 2017 at Kallang Theatre.
