The Mysterians only single on Cosdel with My Girl Les and *Forget The Time sold quite well even though there was not much airplay on Radio Singapore or Rediffusion. Even today people still remember Forget The Time. Singer Mike left the band after the record was released.
Ronnie & The New Burns appeared on the Orchid CC stage, neat, stylish and resplendent. Singing and strumming the top hits of the 60s Ronnie (leader, vocalist, rhythm), accompanied by Victor (drums), George (lead) and Simon (bass), entertained the audience.
In case you missed the show, the above image is the programme booklet for the two nights, where details of the artistes that participated are documented. It is well designed and worth the while to collect as a souvenir. There are many people who keep programmes, magazine pages, newspaper cuttings, posters and advertisements as memorabilia to remind them of past events.
This blogger has a good friend who keeps such bric-a-brac. Singapore 60s band members and singers were surprised at the amount of photographs he keeps and the signatures he collected, when he showed them his files and albums during the local gigs in town. This gentleman and many other pop 60s enthusiasts have been collecting them since.
Don't throw them away. Could prove priceless some day. The National Heritage Board has an interesting collection of these programmes and souvenirs. Well, in case you need one...

What band is he with and who are his guitar mates? Check him out soon enough.
Ronnie See has a group called The New Burns. They could be performing in a special one hour concert soon in Singapore, where Ronnie will play and sing using a very special guitar.
And these mystery men? Who are they? Remember the one on the right? He looks familiar. Is there a new line-up for The Silver Strings? And who is the lead guitarist on the left? Is he the new lead or is he on rhythm?
Who is this mystery man? He is a mean one on the drums and is comparable to the best percussionists on this island.
He plays bass for this group and also the hawaiian guitar for another band. He enjoys what he is doing and spends much time jamming with his friends when he is free. He has a large collection of guitars. Shadows' versatility too.

Various organisations in Singapore, both public and private ones, held talentime competitions regularly. The Housing & Development Board was no exception. Image shows a talent contest held in 1964 as bands were many and singers in demand.
When Ronnie See left The Burns, the group cut an EP (image above) and recorded cover songs. Apparently the EP itself was a rare find since it had been snapped up by vinyl record collectors.
