It must have been an interesting crowd anyway. I think you would not have
stuck together with BORING people. Artists are always hungry for new
perceptions.

It was a place then where you can test a song, for reception. It is
where I have met some of JT's relatives as a matter of record. Some
bands have played there, sometimes a famous one would come.

They have monkeys? I hope they were caged. Chained, at least.
Maybe it is the butterfly she hides...??
Remember, I was young and virile then. If I know then what I know now,
it would've been great!
Hehehe....
I wish they would have monkeys.

You did not yet tell the story of how you met JT´s relatives. Would you
please elaborate? :-)
Very Curious Piggy
Actually, I am just adding a monkey wrench with that.
When I was younger, way back then, I am always being recruited to join
their band, but I am not a musician. Yes, JT has relatives in bands and
he mentioned them once or twice and I have met them. They also knew me.
But I am more a passing person for them, and them for me.
How would I know some of them would become famous, like members of
"Isang Kilo Band" for one. I am the guy who carries stuff, and supplies
stuff to other bands, etc... Who decorates clubs before they come in, I
get paid in booze, clothes and food and pocket money.

It was a dark, stormy night at the Manila Zoological and Botanical
Gardens, and it went downhill from there.
Pedrito the unggoy was screaming, "Baluuuut"...

No, I am not referring to them, I am baiting you. It is a monkey wrench
in the cog.

It´s quite an inspiring atmosphere around bands, lots of interesting people,
good talks, good vibrations. I suppose you got a lot more than just booze
and clothes and pocket money out of that cooperation! ;-)
