Paddy that background strumming you are hearing Ray Holman started it in Starlift but in the earlier days Cross Fire had a similar strum. Halfers did a beautiful arrangment of this tune, he was the guest on Steve Sealey show on WACK radio last Sunday and they played about 2 hours of his music, he is one of the most under rated arrangers in the game. Lets see if we can get Starlift to bring back Halfers.

This is probably the best arrangement of In My House I have heard. I play it often. he builds nicely and the drops are in the right place and the 1/2 crescendo is nice and its melodic The chord structure (out side the melody) is very harmonic and the Invaders style of strumming is perfect. What more can I say ( I still love Desperadoes as a band tho) paddy corea Despers USA
I remember playing this piece, it was really sweet music indeed. Yes, the youths of Starlift did well in Montreal recently, I'm glad that people enjoyed us when we were there!!!!!!!
I saw them in Montreal at the 2010 International Steel Pan Festival and was pleasantly surprised to hear/see them play one of my favorite calypsos, "Lorraine"!! As my friend Jackie said, so so sweet! :)
I was there for that. I am a Starlift from way back in the 60's. I am also one of the original STARLIFT OLD BOYS INTERNATIONAL U.S.A. I enjoyed listening to this piece once more. Thank you very much.
