'Andy Young & The Silver Strings' at the Kallang P.A. in 1964As far as I can remember, this gig was one of my first with The Silver Strings. Resplendently dressed, we had suits and pants made by Sam Tailor, a very well established tailor situated at Tanjong Katong Road.
Sam, a Singapore Cantonese chinese was exceptionally skilled in tailoring suits for the famous and was one of very few in the trade to specialise in adorning the 60s Singapore bands and vocalists. And he made tons! Good for him!
But, unlike Sam, we played more for sheer enjoyment than anything else. Money was not an incentive then as we basked in the limelight of musical entertainment.
