Robert Sally!~ Saldenha I never played wiith Tripoli. I played with Despers through the years of 1965 - 1968 the first year that Bradley arranged for Despers playing ''Mr. Walker. 'In 1969 and 1970 I went up in the East by ''Solo Harmonites and played Bongo and Saturday Night arranged by Earl Rodney. I joined the Police Service in 1973 and for quite a few years did not play in Panorama until in 1985 I went to ''Carib Tokyo and played Bradley's arrangement of ''Pan in Danger. In 1987 I went to Exodus with  ''Ray Holman when he arranged ''Pan Woman. My final year playing in Panorama in Trinidad was 1988 with Tokyo again when they played Ray Holman's ''My Band.

Thanks Valentine, i was thinking about another cop who used to play with Tripoli.   However, he was not a cop when he played in Tripoli, but became a cop consequently, and the last time i was him was a year he was playing with Tokyo.    I cannot recall his name.    He used to play double-tenor in Tripoli.
