Peli Aron was a very good singer during our school time. He was always proper and ethical in every way.

He was our lead singer of our pop band called "Desperadoes" whose other members were Zainal Abidin Matasan, Dom Mattu, Reggie Tersan. Our favourite songs were Speedy Gonzales (which Peli sang very well), all of Johnny Tillotson's songs, Elvis Presley's songs, and so on.

For the band, we borrowed guitars from Zainal who was a drummer with a Miri band. I had my own hand which Jeffery Pasang and I made from scratch. Unforetunately it was thrown away. I still have a photo of me with my little red guitar in my old album. I remember having the photo blown up and presented to Zainal when we were requested to regroup during the Shell MD's birthday dinner in Piasau 100. But regretfully Peli and REggie were not there but Pasang and Dom were there. My old friend, Freda,took over the lead singing role.
