If Mountain Man ain't what he is...

..he'd be a rockstar drummer. Les just got a new toy this week. No this is not PlayStation Rock Band. it's a Yamaha Electric Drum set. He's been talking about getting one for the longest time.

I'll reveal some of Les' most endearing stories. When he was much younger, he was given a choice between buying a bed and a drumset cos there was simply no space in his room. He chose the latter. So he slept on the floor for close to 10 years just so he could play drums.

He was part of a 3 piece band called the Apostles. They were 3 catholic boys who came together to make rock music (one of them called himself the Pope). They wrote their own stuff and covered Led Zepplin. He likes to say , "3 piece bands have to be tight OK! How many 3 piece bands can u name?" He tells me that they were popular within the malay community, they used to go up to him to shake his hand. *shrug*.

Each of the apostles soon went their separate ways, and all that remains are these stories that Les loves to recount.

I'm glad that now Les can do more than tell stories. FOr the first time in years of us being together, i saw him play the drums.

here's another pic.
