Good afternoon, Chris and Makya.

Day is done, and soon it will be evening. A very suitable time to listen to "Abide with Me."

"help a neighbour put up a fence"--suddenly these words bring me back to a childhood spend in rural Singapore (now Singapore is pretty urbanized) where neighbours didnt lock their doors in the daytime. Dogs and cats wandered about. My neighbour's goats loved our wire fence so much that the fence pretty much collapsed under their weight!

Actually when we were kids, my siblings and I played with the harmonica. We didnt have formal lessons, we just tried and made music. Later I did have some formal music lessons but found that I made a better audience than a player :)

Yes, I think I should go buy a simple harmonica and try making some music. Thank you for the encouragement!

Have a good Sunday evening and may the Lord touch and bless you and your family.

Dear Yun,

Thanks for your response.

I play my chromatic harmonicas since January this year, I didn't take lessons, I play by ear, and I enjoy it very much, I practice 2 or 3 hours a day, because I am retired.

It's just great and feel so good to hear your own music, it gives a lot of fun and relaxation!!

I hope you can buy one and you will enjoy your music very much.

Try to play an easy song, and you will see the music will capture you more and more.

God bless,

Greetings Chris.

Dear Yun,

I hope you had a very good day. We like it you enjoy it to listen to Abide With Me every time, because it's our wish that God abides you and your family!

In the Netherlands it's just normal that the neighbours have a fence between their gardens, they want to have privacy after work.

We have very nice neighbours in our street, therefor we always help eachother!

We have a little dog in our house, he is very sweet, I love him very much!!

Friendly greetings Chris.

good afternoon, Chris and Makya. thank you very much for all the videos. Please dont worry--you do not disturb me. It's a pleasure to hear from you. Now i am introduced to more harmonica players and that's great! I am sorry I have to contact you both through the comment page, as the "message" function doesnt work on my computer (for some reasons). I heard this hymn long ago in my little church. You play it with great conviction! Dank u wel :)

Dear Yun,

Thanks very much for your reaction and kind comment about our song "Abide With Me".

I am glad you enjoyed my playing and our video. So sorry for my late response, I had to help my neighbour to put up a fence in his garden.

I tried to play the song "Abide With Me" with passion, dedication and sensitivity.

As I asked you before: when you like the harmonica-music so much, why don't you try to play it yourself ?

Have a nice weekend,

Friendly greetings Chris.

I enjoyed it very much to play this song, and it was for Mayka the first video-presentation she made.

I ask God every day if he please want to cure Mayka and all other people and children in our world of there illness. I hope that God will listen to my prayers!!
