It's too hard to put down Rhythm Knights...start of things , in order first happened first mentioned. So I have decided to whack in whatever first comes to mind and if necessary take the reader back..earlier events


Late Asoka Abeysinghe was the best in singing  'Elvis' style among the lot of us..and there were very many of us...and it sure appeared we were the most popular lot with the teeners both boys and girls..because ..because I can never tell you why !..Come to think of it, looking back, we were yeah..'good looking'..pursuing our studies...and we were very good boys..Yeah, quite simply put. Asoka turned out as a leading attorney at law, Feizal Zavahir became a well known paeditrician based in Pennsylvania, PHILADELPHIA...USA.....I made good in my business...

Without going into ALL the names of those who were of our 'bunch'...They ALL succeeded to become some kind of an  achiever in their adult life...It was to BF ALIPH's house in Pendennis ? ave Colpetty..that we went to listen to the latest arrivals of songs from USA and UK.

BF is the grandson of TB Jayah..famous respected Principal of ZAHIRA COLLEGE..And oh! By the way , two of BF Aliph's sisters became ..one became MISS CEYLON..(Yasmin Aliph)   and the other was crowned MISS SRI LANKA ..later years..Yeah, we knew BF had very pretty sisters !

We went to Asoka's (uncle ?) place down Temple road in mount lavinia to get dressed..because Asoka..then Feizal .then I were SELECTED to sing at some Thomian stage show..each of us doing individual skits..singing..Later, I found that the organisers could not  find enough artists to fill the whole program..Ha ha ! had we known this on that night, we would have certainly felt crushed..worthless..and would have run away from these time serving  organisers..Yet, we went good..No rapturous applause..but nods from the audience and polite clapping...The three of us decided that we were great...sky was the limit and all that..until Asoka's uncle told us " You fellows, first study and get through your exams before fujicrafting with these ting ting ting......... ( guitar) he meant..
