The UP BETA SIGMA KINSFOLK had
a small get-together sans brod Pet Grajo at Dayrit's Resto in Magallanes
last Jan. 18, 2012. Brods Boy Concepcion, Gilbert Joven and Lito Lazaro
attended this first get-together. Boy brought his Yamaha guitar that he
used during our happy singing days in the '60s. Lito, surprisingly, had
a list of the songs that we used to sing in concerts and The Folkways of
1967. So with some voice stretching practice, we began to sing songs
like "Softly" (in 3 voices), "That's What You Get For Loving
Me",
"Time" (lyrics provided by Boy) and some Everly Brothers tunes. The
rest puro umpisa na lang kasi wala yung lead singer namin si brod Pet
Grajo. Brod Lito Lazaro complimented us with the Betan caps. It was fun
and I'm sure it will be more fun in Pinas when brod Pet Grajo visits us
here, hopefully on or before December 2012.
