When Steel Talks extends Birthday Greetings to percussionist Rosanna Toney
“It was easy for me to adapt to the engine room through my profession as a dancer; I’m a dance instructor, that’s my ‘living.’ I love rhythm
and I also play drums, and through that I said “I just have to play the
‘scratcher.’” I just love music, I could play the congas, the cow bell,
you know. That’s where it [the love for “scratching” in the engine room]
really comes from.”
“And my father is also a panist, [back] home [Trinidad]; at the age of eighty-something, eighty-five he still plays pan. From small, you
know, we in to that; he always had us into beating this bucket and
ting, beating the rhythm. He played with Sun Valley and Sonny Roach
years ago, but now he plays with a small family group.” -- Rosanna Toney
