Hey Hollie!

We keep crossing paths with Billy Crawford and Nikki Gil recently that I think it's time to risk being called jologs (tama ba lingo?) and write a bit about them.

Billy Crawford's Groove CD has pretty good tracks. Lots of cover songs and revivals with pretty darn good high-tempo arrangements of 80's hits like Human Nature, Rock With You, and Let's Groove. Amine bought a copy when we coincidentally visited the ATC while Billy was having a free show there. And, what the heck, she decided it was alright to take on the photo op and signing privelege that came with the purchase. But she keeps referring to him as Billy Joe still like he was still the child actor/singer of long ago. Ang dami na ngang tato, Billy Joe pa rin. 

Just another pretty pic of Boni High. Image credit: I forgot but it's some real estate website.

My daughter Meg who's turning 7 on August 30 idolizes Nikki Gil, I think. For starters, Nikki graduated from the same school where Meg studies. I believe Meg was still in pre-school when Nikki graduated so she knows her a bit personally. She - Meg, knows her - Nikki. Anyway, Meg also loves to sing Nikki's song Glowing Inside. It's one of my little girl's favorite pieces to sing. Shy by nature, we were pleasantly surprised when Meg agreed to sing it in front of a big crowd during my wife's Lolo Tacio's wake. That was really special.

So, crossed paths with them first at Billy's ATC show where we saw Nikki, too. Next two occasions were at the Bonifacio High Street's Stock Market Restaurant and at the Hobbes and Landes store. Seemed like real nice people so next time maybe I'll chat them up and persuade them to give a short video interview for Speed Bagal.

P.S.

Hollie likes Billy.

Yan ang hirap pag wala ka. Ikaw ang topic. Hehe.
