You see, this banner stopped me when i strolled passed a Popular bookstore. I
reversed and told my friend, a second chance is hard to come by, I seriously do
not want to miss this.
But I must have been
living under my own roof, not realizing that he was still alive, because the
next thing I know when I told my friend about my shocking discovery of him
being a living artist, a true friend just laugh her ass off without any doubt.
"Oh My Gosh, you
seriously thought he is dead?"
" Ya! Oh My
Gosh." And we both cracked up,again.
Since young I've been
playing his songs for years and to me, he is a legend. A long long legend.
His music reaches
every student who play the piano.
His famously played
song "Ballade pour Adeline" has performed for more than 8000 times
throughout his life. My dad heard this song when he was in a plane during his
teenage life. That would have been 30 years ago. I bet you heard it too.
But I’m glad I had the
chance to see his performance live. Being grateful too that I'm still student,
an affordable price of a hundred ringgit is paid to watch the Prince of Romance
to set the stage romantique.
The modest super star
walk in with an amazing opening and there he is, comfortably play across the
piano with strings player from Malaysia. He have amazing showmanship and humble
himself down to earth and make us felt comfortable watching him perform. His
songs are all familiar music to my ear which included the rendition of StevieWonder's music, "Love Story", "Ballade Pour Adeline"(which
is a must), "You Raise Me Up" and many more. There was also songs
from the classical period with some touch of improvisation. The best part was,
i saw it all, live.

Prince of Romance with his fingers so lively ,
Playing along the piano so swiftly,
Crafting emotions into pieces,
Where the music speaks romantically.
