A Night With A Musical Genius

Oh how a quiet weeknight turned into a magical one, with a music video that has 38 thousand plus views as of this writing.

 We have known Apung Cris Cadiang many decades past (hint hint with our age :)) when he was assigned in our Sta. Ana Parish. Through the years, grey hair and few laugh lines, we managed to keep one another posted, thanks to Facebook( I will try to reactivate it, we'll see) and Messenger.

I couldn't pass the chance to see him and bond with my cousins even after a long and stressful day at work.With my hairbow and scrub suit, off I went to Ati Cong's abode.

 May I share the story behind the music videos? I was washing my hands while we were casually chatting about ten and one topics and I started singing "Migising, migising, oras miras na!!!" And I was surprised to discover our guest all along is the composer of the said piece. Those who know me and love me too well are aware that I do sing a lot, any time, any day and any mood even if I don't possess idol Lea and Celine's voice. "Grab the chance while it's there!" I kindly ask Apung Cris if we may sing his songs "live" as Ati Cong has a grand piano. I was quite confident coz the two ladies beside me can carry good tune and I can just blend in. :) He was soo nice to say yes, with minutes to rehearse the lyrics and tunes, notwithstanding the fatigue from the hustle and bustle of SoCal life, we managed to sing Perdon Y Remedios and Migising, Migising.

I hope that in a tiny percentage, we were able to give justice to the songs. Moreso, it was truly an honor to sing classic Catholic Kapampangan selections.I think when I sing for God and Mama Mary, my voice turns to be of "good" quality. It becomes blessed.:)

Music is happiness. Singing for God and Mama Mary is joy.
What a blessed and fruitful night.

Music. Happiness. Gift.
