ok where do I start...
As I was doing my research regarding Baguio Bands for my website (http://www.rockers-edge.webs.com/) last Saturday, September 7, I came across this website (which I don't recall anymore) with a link about Teddy Diaz and his band The Dawn. I know the band The Dawn because they were the ones who sang the hit songs "Iisang Bangka" and "Salamat" which is very popular on the radio airwaves. But who is Teddy Diaz? I am a fan of the Dawn but not as die hard as some people I know and I have no idea on who Teddy Diaz is. The only person I know from the band is Jett Pangan (the most popular). I tried to read more about about him and found out that he is the founder of The Dawn and that he is already dead for 2 decades. He died August 21, 1988 at the age of 25 (Born April 1, 1963). He died so young.
After reading hundreds of blogs, articles and news about Teddy Diaz, Little did I know that he influenced many musicians and bands which rose to fame in the early 90's. With his band The Dawn, he was responsible for bringing out the talents of his bandmates in songwriting. He influenced bands with the songs he wrote. He was a rare Rock band member 'cause he drinks a little and never smoked. I searched youtube and found a rare video of him playing his guitar. (See Below).
Here are links regarding the news of his death and who Teddy Diaz Really is.
