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.

They have monkeys? I hope they were caged. Chained, at least.

You did not yet tell the story of how you met JT´s relatives. Would you
please elaborate? :-)

When I was younger, way back then, I am always being recruited to join

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.

There must be a misunderstanding. Are you referring to the Generoso brothers
who made up the band known as Pinoy Beatles? If so, they are not my
relatives. They are FRIENDS of my relatives. They used to practice at our
ancestral home in Sta Mesa Heights Q.C. At the time, I was a preschooler,
the loud music actually scared me.

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

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! ;-)
