About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

Come Share In The Banquet (Sebastian Temple)

 I re-harmonized (in chord melody style) this popular song commonly sung in the Catholic Mass.  Also accompanied myself playing rhythm guitar and drum.

Also wrong my own song, At The Banquet, based on the chord progression.


Come To The Banquet, At The Banquet


You can download my transcription of Come To The Banquet here.
