I have known Woody years ago when I was still staying along the Morato area. His group was still known as W2 (composed of just him as the singer and a guitarist known as Wally). I promised to take pictures of them for their portfolio when they were starting out as an acoustic duo.
When I was the events coordinator for Gloria Jean's Coffees Shopwise, Araneta Center, I invited them to be one of the acoustic groups who will entice customers to go in, have coffee and jam with them. They were called W2i (with the inclusion of a new member doing k-hon or percussions). They had a manager then who is also a friend of mine. I still remember jamming with them with my platinum single "I'LL BE" by Edwin McCain, as I am fond saying.
Now, his band is called WOODY, after his namesake. Finally I was able to fulfill my promise and took pictures of the band. They were able to get more gigs all over the metro.
Today as he celebrates his birthday with a live concert tonight at Atchies Bar, El Pueblo, Ortigas Center entitled "TIME OF MY LIFE" with Mau Marcelo (The First Philippine Idol) as his special guest, I'm glad to be a part of his success even by just being their official band photographer.
To my dear friend - HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
