Hi KC: You must have been a very active juvenile back in the good old day, how did you keep up with school and all? You are one smart kid.
No Thach Saly was antiquity, Thach Santor and Malivan were inseparable. Both Malivan and Santhor used to be "A" students, but they could not complete the Bac 2 before the war came, and perhaps they chose to pursue music as the trade. I myself barely escaped the temptation. I think he used to play in the floating restaurant/bar at Chatumouk with Si Nan. I played for awhile in the other floating restaurant in front of the Ministere Etrangere before the Chatumouk was open, nearly flunk out of school (I went to Techno, ITSAK). Yel and his wife Neang Houy Meas, Var Sovy, Chheang (solo) and his younger brother Pheeng (singer). When Yel had marital problem with Houy Meas, there was a pain for the Big Radio band, they put me as a stand-in for Bung Yel to please houy Meas so she can sing. Yel and Si Nan went to work for the Pochintong clan, and they get to control all the USAF air support in the country. We use to beg them for help sending air observer or strike to us little guys up and down the southeast. They were very helpful. I do not know what has happened to Bung Yel, but Si Nan (Khmero-anglais) is living in Long Beach LA. The last time we met he, Khoun, accompanied me singing the version of Paul McCartney song "Yesterday", it has always been by favorite song which I can remember the lyric from beginning to end. I will croon for all our old comrades if I still have the voice before asthma gets me. Thank KC for the memories.
