某天無聊，趁機oraganize我iTunes的目錄，發覺原來自己的Canto Pop taste 根本離不開霑叔和輝哥的影響。我得承認，他們對我的music taste是有深遠的啟蒙。(雖然現在我每次聽Canto Pop都有種被強暴的感覺) 我甚至可以講，霑叔收爐後叫我完全投入John Coltrane and some classical gurus. 今日我慶幸當年作了這個decision.5 |& ?4 l& j# G& z& D# @4 A

當然霑叔也不是完人，某情度上他的感情生活是一個mess. You can say he is happy with Winnie at last, but the regrets have given him too much burden to enjoy the present. 8 U( W5 z! ?9 h+ Q . [0 ~: z5 w4 I. B, w我不認同霑叔的life philosophy, but I admire his 魄力和遠見。5 E; d0 A+ [4 O8 M! _: O" h

九十年代中，當垃圾歌開始污染我們的music industry。其事霑叔可以豁出去，大大聲protest, 搶救我們的耳朵和靈魂。但他選擇prepare 讀Ph.D.，研久一個主流媒體沒有興趣的題目 – 粵曲。 ' M* ^2 q9 I, [7 d- g* R* {, v2 f: X* O- p

我對 粵曲認識不多，不適合comment on 他的thesis, 但我知霑叔用了自己一生最寶貴的資源 - 他對music嘅passion and knowledge，去做了一生最important的事 – pass on his knowledge to the later generation. 5 f8 P Y, ^% s5 i0 s3 _% Y % d1 [$ m m$ l( a J今日有幾多年輕人知到自己的抱負是什麼？又有幾多人肯為自己目標而吃幾年苦？ 5 i7 o/ s9 |& ]; d9 t $ e( d( _3 u* @2 F4 ?"
