show, boy, 1963, game, Bandits

Performance of almost nine year-old Andy Narell as part of the Steel Bandits on 2/18/63. The concept for this vintage game show was for the panel to guess the secret of the guests. Andy and his friends performed after revealing their secret. Henry Morgan a panel regular was the guest emcee as Gary Moore had the night off. The only regular panelist was Betsy Palmer. Faye Emerson, Dorothy Louden & Gretchen Wyler were the three guest panelists.

I think he still has that pan and actually played it on one of his recordings (or at least one from that era).

This is precious history. Andy has been a fabulous steel pan force since then.(1963)

From my collection, here is picture of 1960s LP by The Steel Bandits (feat. Andy Narell):Decca Records DL4794.

Pan Times' video of this group's1963 TV performance is truly historic. Much appreciated.

True Fact . The Steel Bandits were the Guest Artiste for the Semis of the 1966 Pan Music Festival at Queens Hall in Port Of Spain , Trinidad and they in fact opened the show that night . Apparently they had a sponsor then for they were introduced as " The Graceline Steel Bandits " and during their set up on stage Dr. Ellie Manette was there with them and I later learned that this Band was tutored by him and as Andy said in the Vid this was an idea of his Dad . Another piece of our Rich SteelBand history . Thanks .
