I remember when I was one of the members of our own created musical group to join the band contest in our Cultural Competition in connection with our annual high school day. It was just a coincidence that I happened to join the group of Junior High School amateur musical band of 6 members. I handled the percussion, the tambourine. I was supposed to use the rhythm guitar., but I was late when we had our regular practice.
We performed three musical contest pieces: three popular songs such as”House of the Rising Sun” popularized by The Animals, “Sunny” by Marvin Gaye, and one instrumental number which I have forgotten the title. It was the first time in my life to be with that band. As a result, we got the second place in the said cultural contest.
My interest in singing, in playing the guitar gradually developed. I may not consider myself as a professional guitarist but at least I know how to strum a guitar. I know how to accompany a song. I know how to render an instrumental song of my favorite. I won’t forget the last song that we rendered would greatly influence my life of what I am having today. I couldn’t imagine with this song, “Happy Together”
