off late..
lately i’ve been trying to play the guitar again, and if you probably seen the video i posted in the previous post, you’d agree that i can’t play the guitar and sing for nuts. heck… i don’t even know chords. but i shall try. the song that currently plays on my WMP everyday now happens to be The Space Between - by Dave Matthews Band . maybe the song has a slight significants to what i’m thinking about now, maybe it doesn’t but above it all its still a great listen. I’ve always been a fan of his songs and his voice. i guess one day i shall attempt to play the acoustic version of that song.
i guess i kinda miss my good friends who are currently in perth at the moment. they’re working there, not studying. haven’t seen them in months. i really do miss the times we used to spend in the jamming studio with all the arguments and what not. I remember when we were all still studying in limkokwing, kelana jaya. and played every thursday at waikiki. I’d have to rush out after autocad class which ended at 10pm and drive to Waikiki. We were newbies in the pub scene but we still tried our best to put on a good show. just me on vocals and my mate rueben on guitars. and later on jason raj joined in to play bass and that was how south saturn delta was created.
though there were many disputes between us, i think South Saturn Delta was probably the best band i’ve ever been in. with the raw talent of Mr Rueben John on guitars and the fantastic groovy sounds on bass by mr Jason Raj. More often then not, i felt as if i was letting the band down because i found myself unable to keep up with their level.
we still get together once a year to play and have fun. i get a certain kind of high when making music with the two of them. and i can barely wait till i have the chance to jam with them again.
before i sign off today, i’ll leave you with a sound check recording that South Saturn Delta made in the beginning of the year with Vishnu Byron Joseet on vocals, Rueben John Joseet on Guitars, Jason Raj on Bass, and adry azad on the Harmonica. I might warn you that what we are playing in the recording isn’t even a song, but more like us just having fun, no lyrics no fixed rifts and no parts. we just ‘hantam’ everything. as for me, i think it was actually the first time i really played the harmonica to a song since i only started playing the harmonica a few weeks (months?) before.
