To PCR: Thanks for putting this site together, and for keeping an archive of many great Pin@y performers. One correction/addition to your listing on the Circus Band: Beth “Baby” Katindig (Boy Katindig’s sister) was also a singer in the band. Beth Katindig is actually my mom, Boy (who is listed) is my uncle, Henry Tongson (who is also listed) is my dad, and Hajji Alejandro is my godfather. I actually have access to some photographs of the Circus Band from my mom and uncle. Please let me know if you'd be interested in scanned copies. I've just started researching a book on Filipino musicians in large part because of my family's involvement in the music scene. Am looking forward to seeing this site grow! If anyone out there, btw, has recordings of my grandfather, Romy Katindig or the Katindig brothers, we'd be very grateful since we've lost track of many recordings after a series of movements from the Philippines to the U.S. My email is included here. Thank you!
