Scope and content
Tape 36. Donor’s notes:
Side A: Liner notes from Mom read “Song; Ray (Dad) rendition; Jail”. After the last piece, which is Dad singing to Ee wu [二胡] accompaniment, there is silence and nothing else – no sign of the recording marked “Jail” which was perhaps a performance at a local jail?
Side B: Liner notes from Mom read “At St. Patrick – Seew Cook [小曲], Yeun; Bea (Mom); Lots of Seew Cook [小曲]”. This appears to be a tape of a performance at St. Patrick (not sure what place or occasion this is referring to. There is a female MC who at one point introduces all the musicians and the instruments they are playing. This MC also occasionally speaks in English to introduce a piece. The tape starts with a n instrumental piece (I think this is what Seew Cook [小曲] means) and then a woman (Yeun) sings, then Mom sings, then there are many other mostly instrumental pieces. I feel that this tape is quite old – perhaps from the 1970’s.
Notes on tape:
Side A: 《芙蓉神》
Side B: 《重台泣別》
