Boyet Navajas in Australia

My good old friend Armando (Boyet) Navajas lives in Australia now, and here he is playing live with his band called Music Syndrome.  He told me that when Van Halen went to Sydney (if I remember right), he got a job tuning Eddie’s guitars.  He wasn’t alone though — there were other techs backstage.   I guess it’s not surprising that Mr. Van Halen brought along a truckload of guitars with him.

Wow, repapips, OK sa birada, pusyon.  Pusyon Bisaya.  Hehehe.  Seriously, man, you’ve come a long way.  I really like your sound, Bro.  Inggit ako.  Ganda ng tunog mo, men.  Parang Frank Gambola at Scott Tissue na pinagsama.  Hehehe.  Pero matindi talaga tunog mo, pare ko.

Medyo madugo mag-text sa iyo diyan sa Oz pero sige, magpapakarga ako mamaya.

By the way, check out Patrick Earl Danao’s videos on YouTube.  He reminds me a lot of Benjie Mendez, who used to play with Boyet and his brothers at some of the Shakey’s Pizza joints around the metropolis during the 1980s.  I deleted a post about the kid because I didn’t realize that I was getting off topic.
