The reason we could have change songs in 73 was because we use to have 10 well arranged songs only knowing them by numbers not even knowing the titles of the songs. Great days. I played from 73 to 93 on the stage side.
Kenneth Guppy, This is why many believe that the steelband progress has stagnated. (The famous "Pan is dead " quote comes to mind).
Several of the top bands of the sixties and seventies produced multiple record albums in that era.
Solo for instance put out a high quality,well arranged, well played record album consisting of about ten tunes for almost every year of the nineteen seventies.
Other bands of that era like Desperadoes, All Stars, Silver Stars, Invaders, Cavaliers and Starlift were also making quality records.
I have two questions for this forum :
What happened?
And
Where is the progress?
How come nobody mention George Phillips Solo Harmonites Flag Waver .
