Higher Calling

A higher calling... Which one is it? Should I continue be a Team Leader at a very good company or take a chance and go back to playing music with GREEN?

Made me think about what has happened with me musically. I started playing in church last 1992 and from there met a few people and formed different bands such as Blue Lite Fever, Kulai Kahoi, w8, PISTOL, Heavy Traffic, Badjaz Theory, GR33N, now GREEN.

When I started in church, I didn't know what a chord was then I learned from and performed with the best. Bing Rodrigo, Ray-An Fuentes, Ruben Aldea, Anna De Guzman.

Then outside church, I played with the best too: Loren Orendain, Nino Mesina, Carlo Sison, Paul Benitez, Maik Arce, Francis Magat, Leo Barrite. Then started meeting groups like: Peace Pipe, Salindiwa, Eternal Now, T.A.E., Homegrown and the list goes on and on.

When I started in church, I thought of the PWT being the best of the best. The ELITE Ministry. But as time goes by, it really should be a humbling experience. You will be there for a while then before you know it, someone better comes along and takes your spotlight.

Last Saturday, I was priviledged enough to meet and talk to Bel Cruz, if not the best, one of the best pianists IN THE WORLD.

Then the list of great mosikos -- not musikeros -- come in the open: Jun Regalado, Ray Saga, Baby Francisco, Ka Bel. Then not to mention that I've met their kids: Jun Jun Regalado (MOJOFLY), Raymundo Saga Jr. (GREEN) and the list goes on.

Now that green is still waiting for me to come back, I was thinking of self producing. hmmm.. sounds good. Let's see... WHILE my schedule does not allow me to do so.

I will definitely end up in music.. or will I?
