  • This remind me of the days when i used to beat pan in Laventille, with the band BOUENA   VESTA that time the leader of the band was the great CARL  GREENIDGE..  WHO REMEMBER THEM DAYS''''''

  • It probably also depended on where you lived, too.

    I was living in the country, New Grant , at the time.

  • Talk for yourself, Brenda :)

    Some kids really believed there was a "Greenface Man " and a "Shaver Man".

    I guess it would depend on your age at the time!

     

  • Yeah, I remember that and the Green Face Man. Did Katzenjammers have any connection with Belmont?
