David Rudder: It was taken by a young Indo-Trinidadian photographer, she used a special type of film. I believe that this is the only one in existence and she offered me first bidding. I bought it right away . That's the true beauty of this place,the Ganges meets the Nile .

I recognized him as a great leader. I tried to emulate him when I became the leader of my Band.

I think I recognize the scenery where the Photo was taken.

I can't say what caused his Demise. What I can recall is that He Died on a Friday 29th March 1985.

When exactly did he die? Of what? Historical details count.

Rudolph "aka"Charlo/Trail Charles was one of T&T gifts from our Creator. With due respect to all those Great Ones that contributed to our Steel band Culture, His input is the most recognized internationally. Forget about the Quadraphonic Pans or 9 or 12 Basses. When ever we see a Chrome Pan. We see Rudolph Charles. He was a Great man of Vision. Give Thanks.

Classic Photo . Didn't think you had to identify the photographer as Indo Trinidadian . Of no significance whatsoever. Trinidadian would have been sufficient All I all good memory . Blessings.
