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.....

Polling Blues, Manic Blues

Replaying Polling Blues with piano accompaniment (have been learning piano for about 2 months).  Playing my first piano solo with some blue notes.

You can download my fingerstyle guitar solo, Manic Blues here.




Praise Him, Praise Him, Gong Xi, Gong Xi

 A popular song sung during the Lunar New Year (but actually it is not a LNY song).

Playing the piano after about 1 month of learning.  Wrist angle is wrong but will amend in the next video.

Wishing everyone a happy and blessed 2022.
