笔者最喜愛唱凡腔，新馬腔和陳小漢B腔的多首名曲。首選特愛粤曲有：情僧偷到潚湘館，夜夜白头吟，狄青之闯三関，双陽宮主之追夫，百花亭赠剑，花亭會，重台泣别，佛前燈照狀元紅，冷月照梅宮，啼笑姻緣，鳯燭燒殘淚未乾，胡不归哭墳，琵琶行，風流天子，万恶淫為首，夢会太湖，幽会小周后，同是天涯沦落人，等等。请前辈朋友多多赐教。2007 年9月29日，在新加坡，为惹蘭固哥居委会暨屬下 粵韻新聲曲艺研究社主办“粵韻彩云追月” 中秋庆祝晚会。观众响应热烈支持， 滿座兼要另外加座位。 當晚，何金玉大姐和筆者，初次拍擋合唱何非凡紅線女的五十年代名曲“佛前燈照狀元紅”。筆者臨時随机在唱秋江別“謝愛妻，玉手相携”之间，加挿做手勢演岀剧情，幸得覌众接受,意想不到, 以掌聲鼓励。
29sept Mid-Autumn Cantonese Opera performance at Kereta Ayer CC.
On the same evening, there was another performance at Radin Mas CC. But the turnout to our performance was overwhelming. It was more than full house at the auditorium and it was necessary to add another 30 seats. Many fellow enthusiasts turned out and there were some surprises.
It was very heart warming, however, that veteran VIP, Joanna Wong, JP ( Chinese Theatre Circle and Chairperson of Pat Wor Hui Kun), and some supporters, came especially just to watch my performance and left the auditorium right after my show.
Ha, finally, at last, i.e. after two months of drilling practises, under the constant urging of the female vocalist, Auntie Hor Kum Yoke, we delivered to the delights of the audience. They seem to like it.
For one reason, it was exceptional in the sense that the song was short, only 14 minutes and it is not available on CD or VCD. Secondly, the ingredients, i.e. the melody and lyric were typically classic, compared to recent years popular 25 or 30-min duration songs available on VCD. Thirdly, of course, my partner and myself tried our best to mimic the singing styles of Hor Fei Farn and Hong Sian Nui, the masters of the 50's. The rendering was likened to remincense of yesteryears.
Furthermore, only the night before, whilst I was rehearsing at home, I tried to add hand and body gesture. And subsequently, during the actual performance, I subconsciously added gesture to dramatize the different parts of the role during male vocal singing. Examples, bowing to pay respect to the Buddha, pointing two fingers whilst criticising the wife who came to greet the new zhuang yuen (Emperor-appointed Top Imperial Scholar), lastly, admitting the mistake, bowing, thanking the wife and holding her hand, etc.
When I was bowing my head to admit "my mistake" to the wife, the audience applauded. And since they applauded, I bowed to the left and to the central and to the right, and there were more continuous applause from some of the audience. It was fun, even though only some of the audience was fooled by my bowing. The experience was delightful.
On my part when I was singing the second part, there was a little slip after I glanced at my partner, but I managed to realize and corrected instantly. Thanks to the blessing of Wah Kong Shi Fu.
