---aka Ko Toe Gyii is also one of my favorite singers. He has a unique style which can ascend my mood sometimes while there are times which makes me so bored. But, still I like a lot of his songs, especially the lyrics. It would be more correct to say that I love the writer composers of his song more than his singing. The usual composers are Ko Ne Win, Ko Maung Maung, Ko Ye Lwin, and Khin Maung Toe (himself). Of course "Ma-har-san-thu" is one of my favorite records, but there are so much more of his songs that I love and it is very hard for me to make a list. In terms of lyrics, "Tha-zin-Nya" is one of my favorite songs. In terms of tunes, I love "Ah-twe-pa-chi" the best. I have heard stories about his legendary band or group associated with Pann-Khayann-pyar Cafe by the Inya Lake white bridge. Pann-Khayan-pyar always remind me of Rangoon University. Recently, he sang a policy song for the Military Power in Burma on television and a lot of his fans have been unhappy about it. As for me, I just feel sorry for him, --- what can he do??? He pretty much has to do what he is asked to do. There are people who love his mix versions of Burmese Sine-wine and modern soft rock Ma-har-san-thu song a few years ago, but it didn't appeal my appetite much. It truly is different, but kind of out of place for me. For me, it is almost like eating sushi with nga-pi instead of wasabi (lol). And the darkly shaded sunglasses everywhere ---???? gotta give it up, especially in the dark, --- but I haven't seen him much with sunglasses lately.Listen sample song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0d1Eoxsu6U
