GRJ did you know Shaker from Teenage Symphony and Clarence Matthews , they were both in St. Croix also and Shaker was in the army also. His parents had the Poultry place on Lord and Coffee st where most of the people would buy their chickens and have them plucked. This was Shakers job to do this and we would give him fatigue about it. Blessings.

Gons, were you with Cavaliers the night they they won that panorama?

I remember liming late that night on the street corner in Marabella, and the Southern Marines guys came back from Port of Spain and the talk was " Allyuh know what happen? Guinness gone in tong and beat up all dem tong bands"

BTW, I also knew some of the guys from that band. I knew the Jordans' pretty well, and Lincoln Tang How was one of my best friends, we were roommates in St Croix in the late sixties before I left to join the Army.

Noel: The Lord Melody Calypso was recorded in 1965 on 45rpm: RCA 7- 2172.

Side A featured Mas'

Side B featured Birds fly high.

It will materialize someday....soon I hope.

Are you talking about the Melo calypso or the Guinness Cavaliers version?

I know of the steelband recording, but are you giving us a source for the Melody Calypso?
