    Hey Glen...Thanks for the memories, there was a combo side that regularly played on  Hazle Ward's, Teen Dance Party on TTT, I think they were named "Los Cabellros", do you have anything by them, we used to "fete" with them and Ronnie Chan a lot.........

    Anyone who can remember combo mania, could never forget the great sounding combos that were around during that era.Those guys ruled the fetes in those days. There has always been a wealth of musical talent in Trinidad and Tobago and the music keeps on evolving faster than anyone can keep up. That is a good thing. Thank you Glenroy, for sharing.

    Truly magnificent. The combo music fever of the 60's spawned many bands throughtout the many islands

    of the Caribbean. Like Albert (below), I have lots of combo music from that period. Let's keep them coming, Glen.
