- APPLE SUN's rhythm guitarist,FRANK LOW,wrote and sings this song about himself ,yes,it's his own composition taken from this group's other album .
APPLE SUN was a 1970s teenage Rabaul group,led by a young John Wong, was one of the few bands that existed before Computerised(digital) studios reached the shores of PNG.
In their era musicians had to be good,had to be able to play instruments manually when recording etc, where as these days,you don't have to be a musician at all, you can just walk into a computerised studio and with the click of a mouse button, magic is created and programmed music is waiting for your voice,a few more clicks and your voice can sound like Elvis Presley or Jamaican ragga rappers instantly.The computerised studios are disney lands where magic takes place unlike in the past where such luxury did not exist..
This group,APPLE SUN, was recorded using a basic recording equipment in Rabaul .Apart from NBC govt studios, Sound Stream studios which later became Pacific Gold Studios in the 80s was actively recording local bands.Sound Stream was the first commercial studio that existed in PNG...other studios existed but were NBC govt owned.
Bands of the past played and recorded a lot of cover songs due to the fact that PNG had a lot of expatriates(colonial era) and playing international songs gave bands an extra advantage.
