Andy 60s Music Visits Dr Tan Licia At SNEC: You Can See "Eye To I".

The Singapore National Eye Centre next to the

Singapore General Hospital at Outram Road.

In the middle of what I knew would be a pleasant eye surgery, I tried to share my joy by mumbling my thoughts during sedation at the operating table with the friendly team in the theatre. And what did I tell them? I revealed to them that I have a music blog. 

"Crazy man crazy, crazy news!" [Bill Haley]. 

And it all happened while I was under anesthesia because that’s when the mind became relaxed and euphoric. Because of the state I was in the incident was totally out of my mind afterwards. Even forgot to tell my wife who accompanied me for the appointment.

A week later when I met my soft-spoken and charming lady doctor, TAN LICIA again for a post-surgical appointment, she mentioned that she checked this blog. 

Oh my, Dr. Tan.  "Goodness, gracious me!" [Peter Sellers].

I was totally surprised but thanked her for reading it. We got to talking as she revealed that she plays the piano with a family that loves music, ie: hubby and children in audience and active.

Dr Tan is kind, friendly and as she gently snipped away the surgical stitches below my eye, she explained what I needed to do for aftercare. A professional surgeon indeed! And she mentioned, in all seriousness… “We need music in life.” 

"Thanks for all the joy they're giving

Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty

What would life be?" [Abba]

Before leaving I asked for a picture together. Wait. Was it allowed? The nurse had to find out about hospital protocol. She came back with a positive smile and took us.

Again, thank you Dr. Tan for the successful surgery; your pleasant ways; for reading this blog and for being a music lover.

Here's one doctor any patient could see, "👁 to I" with.

Andy 60s Music Goes Downtown Meeting Tourists, Musicians And An Artist.

One of the most international cities in the world Singapore had 16.9 million visitor arrivals last year in 2025. 

We are not sure about this year's statistics but wandering around Downtown in Singapore during the long holiday, we met 2 tourists, 3 musicians and an artist. And what gems they were amidst the crowded streets, shops and a music school. 6 folks to chat with...

"So maybe I'll see you there/we can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares/so go downtown/Things will be great when you're downtown/don't wait a minute more downtown/Everything is waiting for you... [Petula Clark]"

@ Lucky Plaza:

We sat with a Ghanaian couple [if the memory remembers correctly] enjoying a food court meal at Lucky Plaza. They love the visit. “Do write in sir and madam on the comment page; during the excitement we forgot both your names!”

@ Orchard MRT

At Orchard MRT, we finally met up with this well-known vision-impaired singer, 

Wan Wai Yee, who can belt out Taylor Swift and Celine Dion songs

 as easily as hits from the 60s and Musicals. She has a busking band [below].

 

Accompanying Wan Wai Yee is Ivni Yaakub [call me Iv] who plays 

a fantastic repertoire on his electronic guitar. Modest and unassuming

he makes up the busking duo called, StrawberryStory.

@ Victoria Street Corner

John Fitzpatrick comes from Maine, USA but has been living in Singapore for some time. He's an artist and paints the world. Met him at the junction of Victoria Street near a well-known hotel as he colors his drawing paper with the area's landscape facing Chijmes. And it was a grandiose scene. 

The road-side interview carried on despite his popularity with camera-folks and passers-by who were watching him. Thanks John. Hope to meet you again with 

that Chijmes water-colour creation.

@ Plaza Singapura

And at Plaza Singapura, I made a purposeful visit to meet this handsome gentleman. Wandered into this famous music shop and asked for Dr. Danny Koh. "Oh," says the lady, "he's in Room __ and finishes at 3.15pm, which is now!" And there was the maestro himself immaculately dressed as usual when I peeked in. This special blog post is dedicated to him; to congratulate him on acquiring a PhD. in Music.

@ Cairns, in Australia... Wot?

I have to put this picture in...

That's Herb Van Dort with sister Barbara. Remember him? The Beatles of Malaysia? Mike and Herb. He's been Santa Claus for years now, during Christmases helping in a Charity. 

Our family was wandering in downtown Cairns, Australia too and so were they, but did we meet? It's a long story and I'll tell it one day...

HERB WROTE A NOTE:

Hi Andy, “HAPPY SINGAPORE DAY” 🇸🇬                                 9th August 2026

Would you kindly wish for all the groups from the 60’s (sixties) during our time there. The Boys, Checkmates, The Quest, The Silver Strings, Jerry and his band (New Faces), Ronnie and the Burns, our compere K. V. John, Silver Stars, Naomi and Henry Suriya, The Cyclones and Veronica Young.

I don’t see myself coming to Singapore in the near future, so it’s goodbye from Mike and Herb. Thanks very much Andy the photos you sent Barb of Mike, me, Danny and also with yourself all look fantastic. I am going to get the photo enlarged. 

By the way Andy you are the guru in the music industry and if it wasn’t for you Singapore’s music scene would not be as vibrant. Singapore owes you a mighty big award for what you did for all Singapore and Malaysia local bands.

I hope you will be able to put this letter into your blog so that everyone can read this, especially the local authorities, so that you will receive your reward for all your achievements.

Well to a great performer like yourself, let me wish you and I know my brother Mike felt the same all the very best to you my good friend.

Best wishes,

Herb. [of Mike & Herb, Beatles of Malaysia.]

Thanks, Herb for the accolades. That's all I can say.

Andy.

Dear Readers,

You've all done it again. Thanks for the new statistics to an 18-year-old music blog from Singapore. It's 5 point 5 million views now and still growing. 

I owe it all to the authors too who helped compose the articles and the friends who helped to circulate the postings I sent them.

Andy 60s Music Visits Tan Tock Seng Hospital Atrium For A Christmas Sing-along With Richard Rajoo.

Andy visits the Tan Tock Seng Hospital to watch music artiste Richard Rajoo and his entourage of volunteers for a Christmas Cheer.

UP TO 1,750 VIEWS, 35 COMMENTS, REPLIES

The poster tells it all. It was held on Monday, 15th December 2025 with the hospital's popular, The Art of Healing programme that has been going on...

The lady who introduced the musical group. A pretty MC indeed: Ms. YVONNE.

The singers who brightened the Hospital that day. Richard Rajoo is at far right. Cheers for taking time off to entertain the crowd.

Part of the audience and music participants watching from the side-lines.

Dr. Bernard Thong, Chairman of the TTSH Medical Board and Dr. Devaraj, Director of TTSH Corporate Communication can be seen at the microphone. 

Mr Roney Tan, the man behind the organisation, has planned many such events for the hospital with his family and friends. He is related to the late Mr. Tan Tock Seng.

Mr Richard Rajoo and blogger Andy chat during the short interval. They exchanged notes about the show and TTSH's Atrium longevity as a music venue.

Quite a gathering in the audience that includes out-patients, music and food enthusiasts, some staff-members and concert lovers.

‘Jingle Bells’ by the group that performed at the atrium with a cheerful and active audience moving around. It is only a sampling and could have been longer. Hopefully some songs would be ready for posting soon. YouTube Video by Andy Young.

AND RICHARD RAJOO.

Mr. Richard Rajoo, a good friend and active guitarist, told me about a Christmas sing-along concert called, Once Upon A Song, at Tan Tock Seng Hospital's very popular atrium that fronts the food court and other meal outlets. And what a treat it was with the concert participants dressed in colourful Santa hats and red polo-Ts. 

The group sang well and presented their Christmas carols and fun songs for this season, ranging from Santa Clause Is Coming To Town, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Silent Night, Holy Night. At least 20 concert participants, *doctors, staff and volunteers were involved in the music event that afternoon. Gifts were given out too for members of the audience.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New 2026.

More Music, Mute Meaningless Military Mayhem!

Comments from readers and participants are welcome!
