- Dear TH-cam viewers,
I have created a Multimedia show entitled Memories of Penang based on
the lyrics and music by Jimmy Fong, a Penang boy.
We are so proud of this Penang boy who can sing so well.
The video has aerial views of the stunning beauty of Penang island of 4K quality taken by a drone mounted with high resolution camera. All the various scenic tourist spots of the island are in this show.
Growing up in Penang in the 1960s then migrating to Australia in the
early 80s, Jimmy spent many a day learning the strings of his acoustic guitar.
As a child he listened to local tunes with one ear, while tuning the other
to Western influences like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan,
John Denver, and Elvis.
In 2011, he graced Malaysian television performing his original song -
December Skies - with a 50-piece live orchestra, for which he was
selected a finalist in the National Malaysian Songwriting competition.
Enjoy the show.
The lyrics are given below:-
#Though you may be far away,
a thousand miles from here today
it doesn't matter what they say,
memories of Penang, will always stay.
verse 1
It's the people who make the place, they say
what you see is what you get, a friendly race.
How they live, what they eat, and the way they sound.
Makes me wanna travel homeward bound. ( repeat #)
verse 2
When I hear someone ask,
where are you from?
P-E-N-A-N-G is my response.
I might have left with my feet,
but not my heart.
now all it takes is a song,
my yearning starts. ( repeat #)
go to Gurney Drive & reminisce with some old friends,
then we head on down to
Love Lane & we sing...
oohh hoo
Though you may be far away,
a thousand miles from here today
it doesn't matter what they say,
Memories of Penang,
Memories of Penang
My memories of Penang
will always stay... ee woo wo..

Wow! I am deeply honoured to promote your song that you have sung so well to promote Penang as a tourist destination. Good job! Indeed you have a rich baritone voice like Patrick Teoh , a famous DJ in KL. Take care 👍👍👍👍👍
@@seongchongtoh7995 Please Check out and Subscribe to my You Tube channel, I've also written other songs about Malaysia that you might like. Patrick Teoh and myself was engaged by The Penang Merlin Hotel in the late 70s. He was the DJ at the Carmen's Inn night club then and I was the Solo artist at the Zodiac Revolving Restaurant. We use to hang out for supper together after work, would frequently drop into the famous 'Or Bar' food stall opposite Cathay Theater on Penang Rd. Lost touch with Patrick since our contract finished.
@seongchongtoh7995 hello bro , I'm now back in Penang. I'll be performing at the upcoming Penang Hill festival, please come and support me. 🙏🙏
