Dear Most Wonderful Songwriters, Supporters.... (If Music be the FOOD of Love....Song on)
MTL SongwritersShowcase MTLSSC @TheV 2008-Feb-22 [Songwriters WOW] 2008-0224
You know, I wish i was as young as all of you, with so much future ahead! Your songs, and your story - so sincere, so intense, so passionate! Almost like a "testimony session" with deep "spiritual" dimensions.
It was such a meaningful evening to spend. Everyone of us poured our hearts out and sung with feeling. Yes, it wasn't a "stage professional performance" not meant to be; it was THE SONG.
Stella, such a "drama queen" - wow what an opening, Lost in Transit - LOVE - is everything.... Your LYRICS to InLOVE, makes us "want to die romantically"; sigh.... Dawn - vivacious, engaging - Children Songs - children will rule the world; and all you writers out there - give her a song, and the kids all over Singapore will sing it! Matthew - our own Josh GROBAN; not much practice, you say, just imagine if you had a little practice! And your noble mission for the good of the world, notable indeed.
KennyNGO - the PIANO MAN! Yupz, go on writing and playing your powerful songs, and the world will be at your feet; you really can write and play piano, huh! And also can sing! Dominic WONG - came in WET and sizzling, a stick in hand (guitar, lah) - raw appeal, heart tugging unplug songs and singing (i got nice photo of you, ya). Hoffmann INGO - still water runs very deep indeed - thanks for the wow demo songs, and coming up impromptu to share a song - mrBONO-U2 will instantly want to talk to you when he hears your song!
Roland ANG - the joy of escape (from somewhere) - and to survive and to share two mind and soul stimulating songs - so well done, so intensely honest; and your altruistic mission of using song to bring people together, hats off to you, Roland! Listening to your music brings me to "Shangri-La".... And HONEY, yes - you made the night so nice with the rendition of Sean and Kenny's song from "Bukit Ho Swee, the Musical"; please SING for us, more!
Susan and Susanne of theVerandah - thanks for your GENEROUS support, hosting this event, and giving all who came a nice discount - sori ah, make you guys scramble at the kitchen when the hungry people asked for food and more food.... Food and Music and Song - a potent chemistry, concoction of Luv.... you got the Recipe there. Oh yes, thanks for BLOGGING us - http://www.theverandahcafesinga
OK, we all await the NeXT Songwriters Showcase - called "MyStory;MySong" - Some of us will chat and see if we can do a better one....
Yupz, you all sound wonderful that night.... Eric KLAP...
