Friday Music - Roger Wang and Friends

Last week Cinda got a call from Claude if we were interested in attended a show by Roger (her hubby) and his bunch of talented friends for a special show to raise funds for a school. Cinda miracalously managed to get sitters for the two boys (thanks Bree) which open up a enjoyable and very inspiring show by Roger and his buddies for the friday evening concert.

Sometimes we tend to forget how good and talented those who are closer to home (Roger's Studio is across the road from my office) and it reminded me of the joy of great live music. It also open my eyes to the great talent out here in Sabah and a Website that promotes it - http://sabahsongs.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/roger-wang-friends-2011-fundraiser-at-the-sabah-trade-centre//.
It has great pictures of the concert  compared to my dodgy ones from my HTC Incredible S phone (wanna see my Incredible S is one of my friendly openers now). My memorable bits is the "Bojangles" number, the song for his sis and bro-in-law for their wedding and with Jonathan Tse (the coolest dude/pastor around!!!)



 Neatly presented including the introductions in the beginning with plenty of humour. This is a side of Roger you mostly don't get to see. He seem serious including his music but get to know him a little there is that keen sense of humour which is clearly seen with the number he did for his sister and brother-in-law's wedding, a mixture of  Rogers type of music and hard rock!!
I also appreciated the fact that he gave a bit of explanation to all the music and his great introduction to all the other performers as well.

If any of you are into cantopop and considered one of the gods of music in Hong Kong Jacky Cheung selected  Roger's song titled 'Love Scale' for his current album.
I better stop now I am starting to sound like a groupie and I think I leave that to his wife and daughter!!!
Cheers Roger great Show and THANKS!!!! ( a yearly event....?!)



I personally prefer it with Mia...
