PROFESSIONAL DIVERS SHARE
PHOTOS WITH ROBERTO
ON APRIL 04, 2016, a young Taiwanese/Chinese couple, have
a photo session with me at the piano. I gave them my card in case they would
like to communicate with me through Facebook or email.
Exactly
15 days later, I’ve got an email from them with some photos. But when I tried
to copy the photos, I can’t. Maybe it’s not resized and tried again a few days
later but still can’t copy the fantastic views that they have taken in Palau.
Their
emails as well as the other emails/postcards/gifts that I’ve got from guests of
different nationalities, if accumulated, maybe will be enough for me to be
nominated as employee of the month and later employee of the year if so chosen
by co-employees of Palau Royal Resort. But I’m not after those honors. It’s
enough for me to make the guests satisfied with my music, with or without tips.
As I
mentioned to some lady Indonesians co-employee while dining at Cafeteria, “When
guests ask me what is my favorite song, I will answer – I don’t have a favorite
song. My favorite songs are the songs that my guests’ like. I’m playing music
not to satisfy myself but to satisfy our guests.” They all agree with this
comment. I think it’s their first time to hear a view/comment from a musician.
This
is the email of Zhang Yan:
From Zhang Yan – April 19, 2016 12:31pm
Dear Roberto, we have met in restaurant of
Palau Royal Resort. My wife and I were amazed by your fabulous piano skill and
fully absorbed in the beautiful melody created by you. I have taken some photos
while you were playing now I’m sharing these memories with you.
The focus of this photo is you,
and I made the wine glass blur.
The
focus of this one is on red wine glass and you are the blur, so to make a dream
like effect.
The last one is our group photo.
Again thank you for the
wonderful rhythms that you have played and nice to meet you in Paradise Palau.
We wish you achieve a successful life and career, and see you when we see you
again.
Yan

Some photos taken in the sea, my wife and I
are not musicians, so we cannot share the music experience with you. But since
we are professional divers, we would like to share some photos I have taken in
the ocean of Palau.
