방선생!

여기 김추자의 '봄비' 대령입니다. 이노래는 우리가 미국에 온지 한참있다 나온
노래라서 우리같이 노장?ㅎ,ㅎ.들은 잘모르고요 비(雨)말이 나왔으니 패티김의
'초우'는 어떻신지요. 즐기십시요. 규정

I searched Kim Chooja's bio first but I failed.
I think she is about my age or a little older when I think of our first meeting
through her songs during college days, roaming around Myong-dong.
Jeong Mee-jo and Yang Hee-eun were polpular those days too.

Her song, 'Bom-bi", presented here by Hwang sun-bae-nim is not the original
one I am familiar with. I think it's re-arranged and variant, not that Explosive
and Sexy, a little husky voice any more. I guess she got old in 1974 when this
video produced.

I was fascinated by new wave of rhythm, so-called "Soul Music" by Shin Joong-hyun
and Kim Chooja was the main vehicle of propagation(?) of his music.

I forgot all about her when I went to military service in 1970.
But when I saw announcement of her Live Concert at Dae-han Geuk-jang in 1971
I could not help but going out to Seoul to see her singing, Live.
I stationed at Dong-du-chun as a medical officer for Joint US-ROK Army which was
created after US Army 7th Division pulled out of Korean Peninsula.
It was the first step of Modernization of Korean Army.

Anyway, I walked in the theatre in military uniform with excitement, the excitement
of seeing her singing Live on The Stage. She sang for two hours. Later, near the end, I
noticed she started to lose her voice. I figured her aging started to affect her singing
career. But it was worthy watching her singing and  every movement of her during the
concert. And I remember her and "Bom-bi" vividly even after so long years passed by.

김 추자는  부산 동아대학교수와 결혼하여 잘 살고 있습니다.

방선배님.

김 추자의 연배는 제 보다 약간 낮은 듯, 정 미조는 파리 유학 후 화가로, 대학교수로.
양 희은은 70년 대에 삼구빌딩의 스카이 라운지에서 노래를 불렀지요.
그 레스트랑 이름이 블루 제이드인가 기억이 가물 가물.

봄비는 저희들이 71년 설악산으로 졸업여행갔을 때의 주제곡이었고
아마 오리지널은 소울가수 박 인수가 불렀을 겁니다.
