210愛的鼓勵 220訂閱站台

 

 

這些年來，真的不知道Andy在幹些什麼，而萬萬沒想到的是和我一樣，一直未忘情於西洋歌曲，而且是身體力行。在演唱了6、7首歌之後，Andy忽然宣佈，原本邀請了兩位佳賓，也算是他的歌友，一起來共襄盛舉，唯其中一位因身體不適臨時取消，但仍來到了現場。另位女歌友則上台唱了3首，其中兩首是法文歌。中場休息時，Teddy正要告訴我關於凱蒂 的事 ( Teddy後來在工作關係上與算是前輩的凱蒂的父親有些交集，另則請參見亂談-9。 ) ，凱蒂卻突然地出現在我們面前，真的是個大大的surprise，原來她就是那位臨時取消演唱的女歌友。40多年沒見，她應也已屆「敬老」的年齡，但看她的身材沒什麼大走樣，臉部的皮膚白皙光滑，也沒什麼皺紋 ( 哈！或許是餐廳燈光的緣故吧 )，完全是氣質美熟女的模樣，我禁不住讚美她是愈來愈漂亮了。她仍記得我倆最後碰面是在左營的「汽車駕訓班」，我提去「今日」唱歌的事，她馬上接說：對！就是在藍寶石歌廳的隔壁。而對我們的鼓手阿彪已先向天國報到則是有些唏噓，並她還記得另位吉他手，也是學弟的張某，但這位張學弟一直還在為轟動社會的「軍火命案」跑路，不知行蹤。短短十來分鐘也沒能聊什麼，最後凱蒂熱情地勾著我和Teddy的手臂，三人合照了一張相片留念。

流浪阿狗樂團 (1970攝於學校社團 )，前手拿鈴鼓者為Teddy，左戴墨鏡者為台長，後為鼓手阿彪。

人生有一些經歷是一輩子難忘的。凱蒂忘不了在青春少女時和我們一起唱歌的那一段，Andy也一直追尋要實現他唱西洋老歌的心願夢想，而我或許是想藉著擁有吉他來緬懷過去吧！只是我老婆覺得有些怪異，為何在我這次買吉他後，一些相關的往事都會牽扯出來，是冥冥之中的頻率相呼應嗎？

最後，藉著Andy這次演唱曲目中的歌曲《Almost Persuaded》，來作這篇懷舊文的終結，下次再相聚不知又是何時了。

附記：我的那把故障的Fender Stratocaster吉他，後來找到了一家可修理的樂器行，含保養、換弦、換零件，花了4000多大洋後恢復如昔，音色依舊非常的棒。

亂談(9)I'll Never Fall In Love Again

http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/tabidog01/post/1323597093

Last night all alone in a barroom

Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table,
And as she placed her soft hands in mine,
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you!"
"Take me away from here and be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it:
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a guy with a drink in his hand.
He had bay blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands.
Then he came and sat down at my table,
And as he placed his hands over mine,
I found my self wanting to kiss him
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!"
"Let me take you away and be your man."
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it:
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.
