Congratulations once again, Mina! You’re a very successful and recognised surf rocker - including acoustic and Casino player opening Fado Night. Brilliant!

Thank you Sir! They wanted soft music, so I thought using an acoustic guitar could make it sound not as loud but still, I could play surf tunes. It was a bit difficult to play a certain songs with the acoustic guitar with lots of bending, so my dad thought perhaps we should bring the casino as a spare. We always bring a spare guitar anyway. ;-)
I am intoxicated by Mina's sensitivity that cannot be expressed in words (^^♪ Sensitivity...The slower the tempo of the song, the more noticeable it is♪ "Hokkaido sky". Cheers to Mina's wonderful expressiveness and advanced technique (^^♪

Whenever I watched your performances, I couldn't help saying to myself that I had got to be witnessing a miracle, as there wasn't a logical explanation as to how you could learn, memorize and play beautifully so many of these pieces in the electric guitar repertoire of the 60's - especially with such competence and precision at your young age!!! You have such a flair for performing in public, not to mention that you possess the natural feelings for playing this kind of music. I used to play many of your pieces when I was a teenager in the mid 60's. Admittedly, I played rather badly comparing to the standard you have now reached. There aren't any youngsters in Hong Kong that I know today who might have taken an interest in this genre of music. The scene in Japan is completely different, and I think I don't need to tell you about that. Incidentally, my favourite pieces to play way back in the old days were the Shadows' Apache and Wonderful Land. Bye for now....

As her dad, I have been amazed how good and how much children can remember! It is really quite a lot of songs to remember. I myself also don't know how she does it. I guess little children just can remember a lot of more. And you are right, no one young plays surf in HK and Macau, and China as well. The Shadow and The Ventures used to be big here, but I am talking over half a century ago. Still, people don't play their songs, but many still remember the tunes. We hope very much to re-introduce it to people around us so more can have fun and enjoy listening to it! ;-)

@@PangPangguitarjam Children are amazing, but not everyone is. We are not born equal, as far as artistic talent goes. I am with you entirely. In fact, we do have musical kids in the family. They are far better at the kind of stuff I have been struggling with all my life and not getting there. I understand exactly how you feel about Mina. Incidentally, I have written down the melody, bass and chords of the Shadows' Apache and Wonderful Land, among others. I was just hoping someday, someone may like to play them. I can send you the scores, if you would like to have a look at them.

@@Hiroshima49 It's very kind of you! Of course it'd be great to get them from you, as I know you probably treasure them and have put in effort in producing them. But one thing I didn't tell you. We don't look at music scores much...almost never. 😂I don't know if it's good or bad. I personally have not looked at it for decades...for Mina, she knows how, but mostly we use our ears. She looks at tabs sometimes, but mostly she tries to figure out how to play the songs by ears. It was one of the first things I taught her when she was small. Of course, with help of the Internet and videos and all, it was much easier than long time ago.

@@PangPangguitarjam Yes, in those days everybody started playing by ear and copying from the gramophone records. That's exactly how I began, as I couldn't read music at that time. I only tried to write down the notes, chord symbols and the bassline about 12 years ago. The process was painstaking and time-consuming. For example, I was rather impressed by how the bass was played in the Shadows' Apache. If I remember correctly, when the theme comes in with the Am chord sounded, the root and 5th of Am are played, but after that, for the D major chord, the bass leaps from D to B, Bb and back to A forming a nice chromatic line. I thought, that's interesting to write it down so that I won't forget. In the late 60's, no one could visualize the kind of convenience we are having today, the availability of backing tracks and tabs, all done for you. What I did has become unnecessary and superfluous.
