singer(s) that you have personally met

Just a thought,I met both Marco Sison and Hadji Alejandro(at the same time) sa Eastwood.Magkaiba ng personality ang dalawa.With Marco being the friendly,with the ready smile.Si Hadji parang pinagsabihan pa ni Marco na bumati hehe.Hadji was with a familiar faced celebrity(parang sexy singer),forgot her name(sorry) na kadate niya.

Mike Hanopol, Pepe Smith and Wally Gonzales. Ok silang tatlo pero pinakamakulit si Pepe, ayaw pirmahan mga cds ko pag may pirma na ng dalawa dahil daw baka ibenta ko sa ebay...

Haha,rock and roll!

si pepe smith, umaangal dati when we met him in a bar in baguio. nagpunta daw sya sa videoke sa iloilo, tapos kinanta nya himig natin. paglabas daw ng score, bagsak sya. pati mga waiter sa labas ng cuarto, inaangalan nya na bakit daw sya binagsak sa sarili nyang kanta. hehe.

Mike Hanopol, Lolita at Pendong ng Asin......me otograp pa, hehe!

Tago lang yan Hood,oks yang memorabilia

- Nakilala at naging kabarkada ko ang Nailclippers, mas close ko si Dianne kesa sa mga brothers niya (although mababait itong mga ito) at "pet" namin yung bunso nila si Mitchie while I'm helping teach the childrens choir called the "Dimples" nung elementary pa si MItchie sa Union Elementary School, Manila.
- Si JC Bonin, Rachel Alenjandro at Tricia Amper naman nung mag-concert ang church namin sa Rizal theater, guests namin sila. Altough si Tricia, matagal ko nang nakilala - taga Union Elmentary din itong batang ito. Mababait sila at puro 'kuya" ang tawag sa akin.
- Si Nonoy Zuniga naman nakilala ko nung mag-back-up singers kami ng misis ko sa kanya nung concert niya dito sa US - Stockton & San Ramon (o Walnut Creek? nalilito ako). Primary physician kasi namin noon yung kapatid niyang si Zoraya. Napakabait at down to earth ang taong ito - wala kang makitang kahit anong bahid ng yabang.
- Si Ray-An Fuentes naman nung kunin siya ng daughter church namin na mag-concert/evangelistic concert nung Valentines day 2 years ago. Mabait at accomodating.
- Ang grupong The Company, nung mag-reunion ang High School batch namin UHSM Batch '79. Ka-batch at classmate ko kasi yung isang member nila since elementary pa - si Andre Castillo. Mabait at down to earth din sila. They even invited me to sing with them on stage while singing "Silly Love Songs" nung reunion namin.
- Si Pendong, ng Asin nung reunion din namin, we're just having a Jamming session sa isang restaurant/bar owned by one of our batch mates. naki jam siya and even sang a couple of songs by Asin - ka-duet niya yung asawa niya which happens to be a sister of Roy Coloma one of my batchmates.
- Si Gary Granada naman nung nasa music recording studio kami ng FEBC sa Karuhatan. Yung grupo namin (trio) nagre-record ng ilang songs para sa radio broadcast, nung pumasok si Gary at yung typical na boses niya, matatawa ka - nagtanong siya kay kuya Romy (Romy Dinglas - singer din ito at parang hear ng Music Recording Studio sa FEBC at the time) - "masakit bang pakinggang ang banatin?" Kasulukuyan pala siyang gumagawa ng isang kanta.
- Si Angel Suguitan, isa sa singers ng grupong OPERA (Angel, Sushi, Manolo at Zebedee "Zuniga" - kapatid ni Nonoy). Later on naging Original Miss Saigon sa German production nito, under the name Aura Deva (real name niya, nickname lang yung Angel). Mabait at malambing. Kuya din ang tawag sa akin ni Angel/Aura, kasi naman kapatid siya ng misis ko! She now lives in LA, happily married.

When I was still playing with a band, we had a chance to be invited as special guests sa bar ni April Boy Regino sa Marikina. While waiting for our set, nasa office namin siya.

Hindi pa uso piracy nun.

Hi knowller,ok ka pala makasama sa church activities and reunions star studed [/quote]

kaya lagi kang magsasama sa akin! (he-he-he)
ang totoo niyan, nagkataon lang na nadoon tayo nung mangyari ang lahat nang ito - yun bang tinatawag na "you're at the right place, at the right time" - tama ba yun?

I was in a band before, when I went on solo to become a folk singer. Naging Kumpare ko si Ka Freddie Aguilar, when we both became "God father" to the niece of Jong jong Asinas (Drummer of Watawat band). I' ll post our pix later, naiwan ko sa Pinas.

I met Andrew E at Duty Free Phils., he even gave my daughter a stuff toy. He told my daughter " Ang cute cute mo " .(Tiger) Ten years after, I would tell my daughter about it, and she would ask " Who he was ? ".. He he he

Mike Hanopol' s wife (Torcuator family) lives in the same village (Cristimar Village, Antipolo City) as I do way back in the 80's before they migrated to Canada. 'Yung bayaw n'ya, Atty. Jojo Torcuator, is also a good guitar player and we would jam during the weekends. Sayang di pa uso ang cam phone noon kaya wala kaming souvenir shots.

Yup once I got involved into concert organizing. Involved kasi yung nililigawan ko. Nakisali na rin ako...hehe...Yung sa Side A, wala pa silang album noon. Sina Pido (now Arstart vocalist) tsaka yung kapatid ni Naldy (who founded the 2nd Wind later) ang bokalista pa non. Early 80's yon I remember.

Rodel Gonzalez - Side A vocalist
