  Can someone educate me as to who from the players of T.A.S.P.O. were not or never became a pan tuner.

  The three remaining members, Mr. Sterling Betancourt, Mr. Anthony Williams and Mr. Ellie Mannette                 are all known pan tuners. I knew that Mr. Winston "Spree" Simon and Mr. THeo Stephens were tuners.     

  Were the following members also tuners?

  Mr. Belgrave Bonaparte, Mr. Philmore "Boots" Davidson, Mr. De Andrew "Pan" Labastide,                             Mr. Orman "Patsy" Haynes and Mr. DudleySmith. Please respond to my E. Mail (laventl@aol.com) Thanks

  Whilst these performances by TASPO  in 1951 at the Festival of Britian was magnificent and Ground Breaking , I would like to draw your attention by an article written by John Schmidt on the site " Welcome to e Caroh Caribbean Emporium " in which he states that he acquired recordings of the Casablanca SteelBand done in Trinidad in1947 and that some of these players performed at the West Indian Day Parade in NY USA in 1947 . It's a very interesting article so check it out for it indicates that recordings of Steel Bands were done from the early 1940's . Thanks .
