Music Playlist

I'm collecting some of the world's most beautiful songs here. Some were songs my mother and I played on the piano.  My mother completed her piano lessons in England and she played in England before returning to Malaya. I started playing the piano at age 10-11, I learned from my mother. I played the minor scale and she played the major scale and base.

My mother loved waltzes and ragtime music. I am still an avant gaarde jazz novice. I played Malay songs and improvised. I loved yesteryear music such as 'Yesteryear, Yesterday'. I played the piano throughout my university days in California. That was the most beautiful part of my solo life and nothing beats playing the piano and playing my own songs. I even played in between classes!

I don't play the piano anymore now (forgotten a lot of it). I will still play if I find one. I had only owned one piano in my life - an upright Robinson piano, it was such a lovely piano. I had it from Std 5 right through Form 3. My mother sold it to my aunt when I entered TKC. I usually visited my aunt to see my piano. I would play a song or two on my old piano in my aunt's house. Of course it was heart-breaking.

There are 2 piano shops in Kota Bharu, one in front of the main post office and the other in Jalan Pengkalan Chepa.

This is a collection of songs by Ray Conniff, Frank Sinatra, Enrique Chia etc that our family listened to:
