       Originally from Manila in the Philippines, I have been living in Las Vegas for over 30 years now. 

       In those 30 years, I was a business owner of my own band, most recently called JAMM, and we performed all over Vegas and the world until it ended on March 14, 2020, the last performance date at the Paris Hotel & Casino when all our gigs were cancelled due to Covid - 19.   Like everyone else around the world, we were caught completely off guard.  Needless to say, I had to find another way to make money and stay creative because LIVE music was non-existent.  Outside of music I was building a travel club business.  Which I absolutely loved!  But, of course,

        Covid -19 took that out at the same time. 

NOTE: WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS VOICE, I WAS IN LOVE WITH ITS SOFTNESS. THAT'S WHY I PROUDLY INCLUDE IT ON MY BLOGG

       ALMOST ALL THE SONGS ON THE BLOGG ARE PICKED BY ME

I shared the golden sun with her,

In days that are no more.

I used to love to run with her

Along the sandy shore.

She had a special prayer for me

To help my world go right.

Her hand was always there for me

The coldest winter night.

 

I hear the music from across the way,

Across the bridges of my mind.

I lift the misty shades of yesterday

To catch the dreams I left behind.

 

It was a joy to be with her,

To watch the way she smiled.

I guess I just felt free with her,

So free and young and wild.

I really came to love that girl;

How much she'll never know.

I need the nearness of that girl;

I really miss her so.

 

I hear the music from across the way,

Across the bridges of my mind.

I lift the misty shades of yesterday

To catch the dreams I left behind.
