This is more of a story with my father than myself...
We were immigrants from Hong Kong, and back then my dad was a part-time musician in his early 20's. He was friends and in a band with many struggling musicians (back in the day) who are now famous stars in Asia. But then I was born and my grandpa told my dad to get a real job to support me and his family. So my dad had to quit music and got a regular job....
So he always says to me what if he toughed it out back in the day and maybe he could be a real rock star! Anyways, he is still in touch with his celebrity friends, and visited them often whenever my parents are back in HK. And when they come to Calgary for a show (for the immigrant audience), they actually came to my parent's house and jammed with us.
True story, and I am always wondering if I was actually the one who blocked my father's could-be stardom!!
