(1542) MUSIC AND ME (May 24, 2018) NEW GM KITAKUNI'S JAPANESE COUPLE GUEST AT BREEZE BAR

NEW GM KITAKUNI'S JAPANESE

COUPLE GUEST AT

BREEZE BAR

In May 21, 2018, the new General Manager of Palau Royal Resort GM Kitakuni had a Japanese couple guest at Breeze Bar of PRR when I come there to play another 2 hours of instrumental keyboard music after playing 2 hours of piano music at Waves Restaurant from 7-9 pm.

I saw from the gesture of GM Kitakuni that he is very proud of me playing many international songs to please the guests of PRR.

Half hour later, the guy came to me and requested 2 songs--"Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song" and he gave me $10.00 tip. I played the first one and sang the 2nd one to his delight.

Another half hour later, his wife come to me. The cashier saw that she has money on her hand and thought she will pay their bill and ask her if she will pay their bill. She proceed to me and gave me the money in her hand--$50.00!


Two days later at Waves Restaurant, they are dining there with a small boy and another younger Japanese couple. They recognized me while on their way to get their food at the buffet table.

There is a girl who likes to have a photo session with me at the piano. I took 2 selfie photos of us.


I played the "Can't Help Falling in Love" instrumental and sang again the "Hawaiian Wedding Song".

Minutes later, the wife gave me $20.00 tip.
The more than a hundred dollars that I lost when I refunded the United Airlines ticket of my wife Flor has been "recovered".

My guitar student Brandon Kyle Soriano and his parents Bruce and Violet and her brother, had dinner at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort on May 05, 2018. Violet
requested her usual favorite songs --I've Finally Found Someone, The Search is Over, ....
   After their dinner, Kyle had a photo session with me as usual at the piano with new GM Fumihiko Kitakuni looking at the background.
