Somewhere Down the Leyn…

it’s been quite awhile since i last posted in my blog(s).  as usual, i want to express my sentiments, what i currently feel.  and this time i want to share with you my happiness.  you might say i’m a "shallow" person but who cares?  ikaw ba naman ang unexpectedly na ma-acquaint sa isang "unsung" composer… i mean, hindi matunog ang name na Raymond Hannisian pero yung isa sa mga compositions nya entitled "Love Is The Answer" is familiar, and i guess famous yun among most chorale singing groups, be it amateur or professional.

eto po ang kwento:

sometime last month, i received one email from Ray Hannisian.  sabi nya na he happened upon a post to an internet forum unknown to him, and that since it mentioned his name and his song "love is the answer", he thought of writing me to know if i know the location where he can hear his music streamed online.  syempre mega-reply ang lola nyo… at doon po nagsimula ang exchange of emails.  and since na-frustrate na rin ako sa kakahanap ng musical score sheet ng Love Is The Answer, nag-request ako sa kanya na tulungan nya sana ako makahanap ng site na makakabili no’n at a cheaper price, or if it’s not too much to ask ‘kako, wish ko na bigyan nya na lang ako ng complimentary copy na may autograph niya.

after more than one month, eto ang pangyayari:

pagdating ko sa office kanina, binati agad ako ng isang ka-officemate ko: "may sulat ka galing sa States".  hala, biglang taas ata ng adrenalins ko… parang alam ko kasi kung kanino galing. punta agad ako sa mail tray, at ayun nga, galing po kay Ray Hannisian yung sulat, naka-address personally sa akin.  pagbukas ko ng envelope, 5 musical score sheets na mga gawa nya ang nasa loob, kasama yung Love Is The Answer na may autograph nya… tuwang tuwa ako.  yung isa pang score sheet na "Movin’ On" ang title (which is, by the way, his first published song), may autograph rin nya.  yung other four titles naman walang autograph, pero okay lang basta galing sa kanya okay na.

i am so happy talaga, kasi inisip ko rin na baka nagpapanggap lang siya. pero hindi, totoo talaga siya. i have his personal address, nakasulat sa envelope (in case you want it). i was planning to post pictures of the envelope & its contents sa blogger site ko.  as soon as i finish taking pictures, i-upload ko agad so i can post them.

to Sir Raymond Hannisian, thanks so much!  hope you’ll still keep in touch to ordinary people like me.

and to visit his website, you may go to www.ray3d.com or www.3alitydigital.com kasi yan ang pinaka-business nya. established na ito, kaya he’s going back to his music again.

for his personal email address, just send me a personal message.

wala lang, happy lang ako kaya share ko ito… yun lang!

salamat po sa pagbasa!
