In 1959 (Senior Cambridge) just before the
mid-term holiday, the school held a Talent-time and Tay Theng
Huat and I took part - he accompanied me on his guitar while I
sang. The song was "I Still Belong To You" by Russ Hamilton.
Surprisingly we came in first in spite of some good singers. The
judges were Mr. Choo Wee Lim and Mr. Benjamin Khoo.
I was told that he migrated at an undisclosed location. I miss
him.

It will be great to get in touch with Theng
Huat again. Does anyone know his whereabouts?

Lenn Wei Ling told me he is probably in
Perth.

Mike, I still remember this song you sang
that day as I have an elephantine memory. It was superbly sang
better than the original as Russ Hamilton has a cockney twang
which gabra the words. I could not remember your guitar
accompanist but now you have revealed him. I think Theng Huat
has emigrated to Australia and I suppose mates like Yeoh Peng
Tiong might know where he's putting up there.
You sang another song "Why Baby Why" (Pat
Boone) also accompanied by someone whom I can't remember at
another talent time or just end-of-term singfest. Was it also
Theng Huat?

In the same year 1959, I took part in the
Redifusion Talentime with my brother Richard on his guitar and
not with Watson Tay Theng Huat. We did a Dean Martin's "My Rifle
My Pony And Me". The song "Why Baby Why" was
one the songs sang at the concert. You could have heard it from
there. Thanks for kind compliments.

No, definitely someone sang "Why Baby Why"
with accompanist at the Lee Kong Chian Auditorium in 1959 or
thereabouts. I thought it was you, but probably someone else.
