GPD003 พ่อครูอินทร์หล่อ และแม่ครูพลอยสี สรรพศรี

Kru In Law and Kru Ploi See were a remarkable couple in the musical world in N. Thailand. He (In Law) was a news reporter for the local paper Kon Muang คนเมือง (“Local Folks”) and she (Ploi See) was a teacher in a local school. They were both trained in classical central Thai music, but were also skilled in Lanna music and culture. They spoke both languages. They had four children (3 boys and a girl) whom they trained in music. The six members of the Supasri family formed a chamber orchestra (recorded and pictured later) which was heard in and around Chiang Rai at school and civic functions. Kru InLaw gave me some Saw Duang lessons and led several Thai music workshops in schools where I taught. The parents lived into the 1990s and three of the four children have carried the musical torch until the present.
