Hello Dr. Cape, When Steel Talks also joins Glenroy in acknowledging and thanking you for your exemplary and on going role in the development of Caribbean culture. In WST's opinion, your one of your greatest deeds may have been your introduction of the late Clive Bradley to Desperadoes. And as they say the rest is history.
Thank you for your contributions to our culture Dr, Cape.
Apart for your personal efforts as a band leader, you were a member of both my all time favorite T&T band -The Clarence Curvan Orchestra, and the band I consider to be the best big band ever out of Trinidad- the Ron Berridge Orchestra.
roy cape i was a member of the Clarence curvan band in that era they were great it was serious compettiton whenever we played in a non stop, i was also a member of the original Ron Berridge band not disputing the ranking of dutchys as i was a fan ot the band but i would give to Ron Berridge the title of the best orchestra of all time as the Band did recorded with the most popular calypsonians at that time eg sparrow and kitchener we did kitch 66, 67, 68. and sparrow 68 album with mr walker, Jane, Wood in the fire. Sniper Portrait of Trinidad which still plays today. Yours Truly Dr Roy Cape

@ Glenroy Eugene was the bass player he lives in England now.
Who could forget.
Arden Thomas, I can't remember Eugene De Vlugt, what instrument did he play?
(I knew brother Leo De Vlugt well , he was a friend and was a member of the band for a while.)
What about Eugene De Vlugt, fon't forget him, and he is still playing music to this day and looks like he is in his early 40's.
