On February 18, 2005, we had a 33-year reunion at Potomac, Maryland, the first ever since we left Tunghai University in the early seventies. So we started this blog …

Smoky Quartz Studio (周府地下室),
Potomac, Maryland
華盛頓生日長週末,老友蕭應民,楊志傑相約,分別從Toronto和Boston飛到D.C.周家jam session(i.e.,彈琴&唱三十年前的老歌)。人手不足，趕緊把在北卡Duke讀研究所的周家大兒子召回來打鼓,請他小女補位鋼琴。有如2-day bootcamp, 臨時湊合,隨意玩玩,沒有排練,請別見笑…

Those good-bye songs and the scene at the airport make my eyes water. Somehow I picture you all thirty years younger and you all look dapper.
Gene, how many dads can jam with his son and daughter like this? Albert, can you send me some of the keyboard sheet music so I can fool around a bit? Or do I have to have an electric piano? By the way, that cap gives you character.
I’m so late for work because I couldn’t stop watching. I’ll have to do it again tonight. Thanks for the treat.
Very Happy!

朱麗： 我的夢想這次只有3/4成真. 在志得意滿, 同往機 場的路上, 我們一致同意這 次是預排, 等妳 那天有一日往東岸一行時,哥們兒再聚, 說實話, 這次苦了楊志傑, 兩隻手無法同時彈吉他和keyboard, (同時彈鋼琴和keyboard)，每條歌都 總少了一雙手,每一曲只見他埋頭苦幹，忙得不可開交. 結論是：我們非常需要妳 。
February 24th, 2005 at 8:16 pm
朱麗：等了30幾年才有這麼一次, 我們把大個當年的庫存老 歌做了一個紀錄.但是這次有如麻將三缺一, 如果妳在場: 我們的夢想就4/4成真了. BTW, 這一次只有周家大兒子, 從頭到尾, 沒出一錯. 真是後生可畏!。

Oh, my computer at work doesn’t have speakers. I have to watch these at home. 寄一張DVD來吧.
February 24th, 2005 at 8:17 pm
I can’t believe you guys did not invite me!!! What a bunch of party poopers.
How about send me a DVD or VCD that will give me a better quality video of these old timers?
Thank you so much in advance.

好友相聚,重溫舊夢,不亦樂乎。
倆代同堂,老少合作,不亦樂乎。
歌唱完畢,相視一笑,不亦樂乎。(This is the best part when watching you guys on video)
周合(和??)音:where is your daughter?
大個:寶刀未老。
楊志傑﹕吉它,電子琴忙碌得很,頭上尚可掛個口琴。

I have been enjoying watching and listening to your video clips.
What a group of talented “professionals”! It will be so fun if you guys can play and sing at our next reunion. BTW, I like 大個 blinking his eye.

我當然記得你, 因為在服預官役時我還常返校,有一次還看了你們的演唱會. 今年是你們那屆的reunion, 很值得參加的. 要不是reunion勾回了許多 甜美的回憶,我們Saints也不會有那麼大的衝勁回頭唱當年的歌. 我的一大心願是退休後, 在 Maryland (DC 附近) 家裡繼續閒置 這些器材,像個studio/stage一樣, 你們來時 (個人或組隊) 自己唱(和錄)自己的歌回去給孫子看, 像在東海宿舍/銘賢堂練歌一樣, 吃住玩免費, 如何?

周府闔家真是天倫樂
使我想起電影真善美裡頭的 von Trapp Family.

Thanks for the music clip. I watched them all and enjoyed all the “old” and young talents immensely! Take Care! -Edward Tao

I forgot why I called you already. Brain damage due to old age. Oh, You guys must have really good time. You should invite me!!! -Emily
February 28th, 2005 at 8:21 pm
Dear Friends, A wonderful performance. Looks like a fun gathering. The only thing missing is the female touch.
How come Gene’s daughter did not sing a song? Or do a solo performance on the keyboard? Hope you guys will get together and practice with more diligence. -Kung-Ching Lu Van Zandt

When my son goes to college, I’ll be able to spend more time in the States, and we’ll definitely sing together again. In the meantime, let’s see if I can find my voice back. -Julie Meng

I need to reload my RealPlayer to listen this most amazing CD. I like 大個’s wink on the cover. ” You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one..” John Lennon’s lyrics used to be hung on my Canbran’s entrence hall. It is amazing that you three old pals played it like it was last time. It really gets me emotional to see three of you bonded this way. I, especially, like the intermission and the farewell segment. Of course, your son will be the one who will carry this memory till your are all gone. This is the legacy that you will leave to your son. Please tell 大個 that I miss him and remember him well during his short stay in Norman. He is definitely a charismatic character. He is also a great photographer, at least in my memory. I also believe that he will like to hang around with us too. -Ping Chu

傳家寶不敢講,該DVD肯定會進鞋盒子,在我和楊志傑的x禮反覆播放.
[註] 楊志傑每次遇到有個人紀念性的東西,他都會往一個鞋盒子丟, 他交代了子女, 萬一他突然走了, 就打開那個鞋盒子,裡頭有足夠的材料作X禮用,省 得你們還要替爸爸編故事.要通知那些爸爸的朋友的名單也在裡頭.
February 27th, 2005 at 8:22 pm
周今白, 演唱真精彩、好聽。這DVD，可成傳家寶之一了！
“憶兒時”的詞，亦出自弘一法師之筆。它與”送別”兩首歌的曲，均取材於十九世紀末美國的通俗歌曲(by William S. Hays and John Ordway, respectively)，大師填上詞，成為絕配，至今膾炙人口。-Jenny Yang
February 27th, 2005 at 8:22 pm
我喜歡”送別”是喜歡它詩和曲配合的這麼好, 似乎不能想像有別的曲子來譜它. 有時下意識的唱上一次, 只是為了舒情, 對我來説感動多於感傷, 因為它帶我走 回從前, 那感覺真好. -Freda Chen
February 26th, 2005 at 8:22 pm
不瞞各位,”送別”一曲是家父生前最愛歌曲之一,我摸過的任何樂器都會彈(吹)這首給他聽.這回是我特別要求大個唱給我聽的.由於沒有其他合適的非宗教歌曲,”送別”一曲已成我為多位長輩辦x事時的指定曲,聞之令人鼻酸. 請各位大哥大姐好好練練,背背歌詞,用到的機會肯定很多…
賴慧慈: 我還真喜歡妳用的”票戲”一詞,大個是當年紅遍大度山的票友,我,楊和小寶十足是個專任文武場,票友們一向是很瘋的.票房好壞就看各位捧不捧場了.
February 26th, 2005 at 8:20 pm
一曲“送別”, 令人感傷。小學中學畢業典禮都唱這首歌。真是“彺事只能回味”。令人唏噓不已。你們真是有才氣的一群。希望能有機會結識兩位和周小寶。-C.M. Lin

“自己作曲、演唱”是老美教育下的必然現象，我是國產教育下的產物，會模仿就偷笑了．頂多在小同樂會用人家的曲，改詞搞笑，不登大雅之作也．
你注意到大個照片的眼睛嗎？等幾秒鐘…
那漫畫是1972年好友姚仁祿為我們演唱會畫的佈景之一…

送別
李叔同
長亭外,古道邊,芳草碧連天。
晚風拂柳笛聲殘,夕陽山外山。
天之涯,地之角,知交半零落。
一瓢濁酒盡餘歡,今宵別夢寒。
—–以上是李叔同（弘一法師）的原詞,以下為歌詞。良莠立辨–
長亭外,古道邊,芳草碧連天
晚風拂柳笛聲殘,夕陽山外山
天之涯,地之角,知交半零落
人生難得是歡聚,唯有別離多
長亭外,古道邊,芳草碧連天
問君此去幾時還,來時莫徘徊
天之涯,地之角,知交半零落
一壺濁酒盡餘歡,今宵別夢寒
February 26th, 2005 at 8:27 pm
原來是有苦衷的. 那你們更是精神可佳. 有朋自遠方來也是人生一大幸福. 而你們聚只是為了票戲, 真有夠瘋狂. 羨煞我們了.
February 25th, 2005 at 10:26 pm
葉子年：謝謝你的稱讚.
賴慧慈: 妳聽得還真仔細, 沙啞之處請包涵.
一點沒錯, 那已經是我感冒的第五天, 別說”…若用假聲會更好…”, 有時連真聲都擠不出來, 真急死人了.很多地方都虧周小寶代合音…
三組人馬分從數百哩外飛奔而來jam兩天,我哪敢奢言延期?只好中藥西藥強壓咳嗽,我和大個合作拼完一瓶川貝枇杷膏,楊志傑和我手指早已有風濕現象,趁還能動之時, 趕緊奮勇完成一件心事吧…
可惜我手邊沒有”送別”的第二段歌詞…
-Gene Chou
February 25th, 2005 at 8:26 pm
Gene,
It sure looks like you guys were having great fun and enjoying the jam session. Like Freda said, envy is an understatement here. -Dennis Yieh
I’m really impressed with your basement converted recording studio. The quality of both the sound and video came out pretty good. I give a 4 stars
February 25th, 2005 at 8:27 pm
每一首歌都是當年的最愛,你們的聲音還真好,有些地方若用假聲會更好。有些歌有點意猶未盡的感覺,像送別,應該唱完第二段。不過就這樣已經讓我又羨又妒了。Freda Chen
March 1st, 2005 at 8:27 pm
Wooowww!! that was quite a concert!! This is a unique group indeed. Julie is right, 大個’s voice sounded so young!! and gene looked young as always. 楊志傑’s energy could only be explained if we assume he is still in high school with the jumping hormones, hahahaha.

[註] ” We got the idea of making a video when I saw that senior citizen band on our local channel. 周今白 always planned everything including the funeral. A great background when reading the eulogy, I suppose. 老黑 actually called and asked for a DVD. He asked why we didn’t zoom or pan or move around with the camcorder. There’re nobody else in the room! 汪時貴 was complaining about video clips being “wiped out” when I removed the web page link by accident. “
May 5th, 2005 at 8:29 pm
Thank you very much for your excellent job. I enjoy watching and listening your singing at the basement during lunar new year on the website. Terrific excellent job.
May 17th, 2005 at 8:29 pm
By the way, 情人的眼淚, 詞:狄薏(陳蝶衣?), 曲:杜芬(姚敏?)，原唱人:潘秀瓊. I was not only enjoying the songs, but also was appreciating the passion you all have on singing!
February 27th, 2005 at 8:24 pm
我找到另外版本: 原詞唱兩遍半…
Freda: 我也記得當年的歌詞沒那麼俗氣
送别 – 青燕子演唱组 – 森林和原野
作词：李叔同(弘一大师)
长亭外 古道边 芳草碧连天
晚风扶柳笛声残 夕阳山外山
天之涯 地之角 知交半零落
一壶浊酒尽余欢 今宵别梦寒
长亭外 古道边 芳草碧连天
晚风扶柳笛声残 夕阳山外山
天之涯 地之角 知交半零落
一壶浊酒尽余欢 今宵别梦寒
长亭外 古道边 芳草碧连天
晚风扶柳笛声残 夕阳山外山
可是看到 『晚风扶柳』 『尽余欢』…俗氣就變成火氣…拂扶不分，餘余同字，弘一法師九泉下也要翻身了！
