Only in Malaysia

Mosquitoes on stage and in the green room. It was rather comical for everyone to watch us slap them off on stage. Repellent was just as important as music and water.

Pop cans opening during "Flower Drum" kinda added to the festivity of the piece.

An intermission that never really was.

Muslim prayer call during the concert and Mr T singing without a mic, still audible to the audience.

Can a recital end at 10:30pm and the audience still wants an encore because the night is still young.

Kuala Lumpur July 21

A Chinese full-course banquet the night before the recital. Here are some of the lovely people that worked hard behind the scene (KL recital committee members).


After the dinner, with Dr. Sylvia Coats, James & Sheridan Taylor, my elder bro James and his wife Jasmine.


Performing at Kuala Lumpur Wesley, near Petaling Street. Nice acoustics and a good place to perform. Sleepy piano as it hasn't been broken in but a lovely voice and a nice concert instrument provided by YC Music.


The autograph signing... what fun!


All of us former students of Miss Wong Chiew Yoong. My sister and bro are in the picture. Also my piano duet partner from school is present in the picture. Great Kodak moment here!


With the KL committee after the autograph signing.

The Malaysian Review ..

Woman: "Gloria, Mr. T is SOoooo handsome!"
Gloria: Yes I know but he's married & his wife is here.
Woman: "But I'm also married and it was my husband that says he looks like James Bond"

"He sings without a mic!"

"AND he is going to sing without a mic"

"Sings like an angel and looks like James Bond"

"Not as fat as Pavarotti and younger and more handsome than Pavarotti"

"Wah.. he worked so hard and sang so many pieces! Without a microphone!!"

Do these statements explain why Mr. T was mobbed after every concert?
