More Precious Than Rubies

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. She openeth her mouth with wisdom: and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. ~Psalm 31:10, 26, 28, 30

Can you make a musical famly? Yes, I believe so...

It all started when I was about 14 to 15 years old. I was in a musical band but I am not playing any instruments. As I have knowledge of electronics at that time, I came in handy with the group. I am the handy man of the amplifier systems. Checking connections for loose and changing busted amplifier tubes. In the old days the high sounding amplifiers are using tubes like the EL84 or 6L6. How I envy my friend, Ruben Nery, playing the guitar and Ramon Manahan sometimes playing guitar or trumphet. I can't recall the name of the band manager as it was a very long time.

This experience carved in my mind that sometime in the future I will established a musical family band.

Today, I have 5 boys who are in music or plays musical instruments. The oldest is Zaldy who plays the guitar. Janmike, Marc-Philippe, Jean-Claude and Jean-Pierre plays the piano and organ.

To date I have not established yet my dream of a musical band. But who knows? Right now the boys are busy with their studies and music is their hobby.

I will tell you next time how I started with this musical journey.
