thank you jim...
all i meant to say was : it doesn't matter what instrument you do or don't play (sorry but that rankles...and as a matter of fact i can play mozart and beethoven on the piano as well as the kulintang, since my parents thought i should know one western and one filipino instrument to complete my education...)
and it doesn't matter what you wear or how non-conformist you are.
what does matter is how much you believe in your band's music, and how hard you are prepared to work to get it out there.
perhaps you should have a section for managers. i think this whole thing is sending a collective shiver down every manager's spines.
the star world features took me and warner almost TWO YEARS to work on...and that's not the worst.
i had confirmed our appearance at baybeats in singapore this august and for the last few months had been working on a SECOND SHOW timed for the same period.
again, this had taken many months of plotting...the producer wouldn't tell me who it was - just that i would be really happy when i found out and that it would be on august 1st. of course, when i had to say we were out because we had just lost our lead vocals...they told me who it was...(long sigh, sounds of breaking glass, lizza trying to leap out the window)..
now, I WILL GIVE YOU ONE GUESS AS TO WHO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FRONT FOR...
ah, but the sun always rises, and tomorrow is a new day. hand me my suit
