On May 11th, 2012, one of my long lost colleagues, Ratih Soe texted me. In her text, she asked me, "Dear guitarists, would you be interested in arranging my songs? And could you please play one of my songs with your guitar at DFM radio on May 22nd? The guitar and also the chords are available. So, you don't need to worry about them. Just come to the radio and play the guitar for me. Say yes?"
At first I was surprised to read the message and wondered how she knew that I played the guitar. Then I replied to her immediately, "OK. That'll be fine but I need to know the tune, timbre, chords, rhythm and the genre of the song. How can I listen to your song?"
"I'll send the files through Facebook this evening. Just check them out!" she told me.
Then I reminded her about my guitar skills, "I am not a virtuoso on the guitar. I just do it for fun. I hope you can understand my flaw. However, let me have my ears on yours. I'll do my best to play it."
"That's very nice of you! Don't worry about the song! It's only a simple song. I dedicate it to children. I believe you can play it well," She pacified and encouraged me.
In the evening, I looked forward to listening to it. I was very curious and eager to have my ears on it and
voila! Finally the song writer delivered the audio files.
