Hi Chad,
I think I'm lucky enough to happened to see what you post here
I left for USA in 1972 and missed all the actions that you talked about. I personally don't remember if I've ever met "Ji" but I remember that my old pal Ketaran Lertpipat (deceased) mentioned his name to me. KL was TU alumni just like me but I was academically 2 years older than him and he was in Econ. Faculty while I was in Acct. Fac.

From 1972 up to today, I only had a chance to meet KL just one more time when I went back to visit Thailand in early 90s (I think). I went to see him at "Grammy" and also met Ter for the last time besides Chai (Somchai Kamlertkul) and some others.

Thank you so much for posted this up, I realized that it doesn't mean much or even nothing to a lot of people. But it meant so much for me who broke away from Thailand so many years ago and also wondering what had happened to my friends and associates for the last 40 years of my life and still try to pick up the pieces that I have left off.

By The Way; my last rock band that I was the member before I left for USA was "The Thanks", and it was named by another member Jod (Krit Choktippatana who took this name from Joe Walse's song), does it ring any bell?

Hi P'Nap
I just got back from Chiang Mai last nght and saw your response to my post today.
I am glad that the little piece of information I posted here helped bring back some good memory of your time in Thailand.

I am quite new to this web board. I just joined last month with the urging from Povation, my old friend from high school.
I'm normally just a viewer and rarely posting any comment. But, I really enjoy stories, tidbits of musical knowledge, and of course many performances from board members. Somehow, I just happend to come across this post and I thought that "Nid Ji Aor" might be the Thai band that น้ายอดเยี่ยม referred to. But, I could be wrong.

As for your last rock band, "The Thanks", I can't really recall it. But, again, my knowledge of Thai rock bands was quite limited. I was only in 8th or 9th grade in 1972. The rock bands that I knew back then were the ones that I heard on radio or saw on TV such as V.I.P., The Fox, and Kaleidoscope.

I do remember James Gang's Thanks though. I kinda imagine that your band played Funk #49 and then you just Walk(ed) Away and left for USA. Just kidding

BTW, I followed the link to your youtube channel and listened to your acoustic rendition of Nantucket Sleigh Ride. Really love it. For Yasgur's Farm, next?
