More than this, the pioneering Pinoy rocker said, he had always wanted to do something that would live on, long after he hangs up his guitar. <\/p>\n<p>At a recent concert dubbed \u201cThe Greatest and the Latest Face Off\u201d at Tiendesitas in Pasig City, the musician\/businessman formally launched RJ Society of Music. It is an \u201cinformal\u201d organization that seeks to provide a regular venue for performers and enthusiasts to play and share their songs.<\/p>\n<p>Members will gather once a month at the Tiendesitas People\u2019s Village for what RJ calls a \u201cconcert meeting.\u201d Some of the finest musicians in the country will be invited not only to perform, but to impart knowledge of their craft. <\/p>\n<p>RJ has been performing professionally for more than 50 years. And while it\u2019s important to keep up with the times, he stressed, an artist should stay true to his foundations. \u201cMy music is what I am.
