My father once told me "Learn how to play a guitar" and he's willing to teach me that but in that time that I was a Kindergarten and drawing comic strips was one of my forte, I was only 6 years old. I never saw myself playing the said instrument but later on I was devastated and my last resort was to self-study "yan lintek na yan!" and maybe kung pinagpatuloy ko lang, malamang Cynthia Alexander na ako hahaha. I ended up in singing, well maybe that's the easiest way to contribute a music "Yeah Right!", but its not enough for me and maybe if I was more focused on my father's teaching... Hehe Bahista na ako.
Speaking of Bassist, one particular name "Hand-Made-by-God Bass Guru" came to my mind and that's Louie Talan (silence...kilig moment). One of the best...wheeww!! (Teka dear, pangarap lang naman e). No John Myung-Victor Wooten-Pastorious for me, when it comes to bassist...Filipino toh MEHN!!!... I remember last time when a dreamtheatre member Myung held a Bass Clinic at Yupangco few years ago, I was there, but not for the native Korean-American Born Bassist...Yup!! You guest it...for Louie, but sadly, he wasn't there (asar), nanakit ang leeg ko kakatingin kaliwa't kanan para mahanap lang siya. Hmmmp!! uwi akong luhaan. Our bassist (Aj) insist na magiging Louie Talan din daw siya someday, hahahaha (halah makitawa ka nalang)...Si Louie Talan e Long Hair and wavy... e ikaw... Long Hair...Kingki!!(JOKE), but seriously I LOVE the way he delivers himself...kahit saan...sabihin na natin na "coño" e anu magagawa ko e ganun sya, talented human being plus GWAPOH! (teka teka...Jay si Louie sinasabi ko)...I read an article, he said "I love the band. And I love Louie Talan. Yes, it all boiled down to that. I worship Louie Talan. I don't believe in Jesus Christ, but by gosh, he looks like Jesus Christ."...o tamo hindi lang pala ako nababaliw dyan.
Seriously, Mr. Talan has everything that anybody could ask for. Right now he's flying to UK, representative siya ng Philippines, I don't know the details (shhh, he never told me, my hands were busy hahaha)....
