    Memories sweet when I listen, of Charlie Roach in the 1960s, Toronto

    I knew Clive Rosteing the drummer personally.  His parents and my parents were close friends.  Can anyone shed some light on his whereabouts.  Is he still alive?  I was in Toronto this year for the carnival and just missed his brother Michael by a few minutes at the panyard lime.

    I remember flying form NY to Toronto  for the weekend in the late sixties and seeing the TRADEWINDS perform at  he Bermuda Room on Younge street.  I  really enjoy them( happy times).. Charles Assevero, Plano,Texas( note Glen Serzano from Belmont ? was a guitar player with them (, he has passed many years ago.)

    Yes Gons;

    I went to Ryerson Poly, a block away, back in the 70's and frequented We Place.

    Looking back now we didn't fully appreciate how well we had it then - life was so much simpler and Toronto was much more livable then.

    This collection of witty kaisos,by the Tradewinds ,with their unique musical genre, bringsback pleasant memories for me.

    The Tradewinds. I remember this great sounding band. A truly talented group of guys who really loved and made  good calypso music. Thanks, Winston Deyal for posting. This brought back so many memories of an era when Trinidad was a wondrous place. The times sure have changed and so has the music. The olden days were better.

    I remember we used to hang out at We Place (Mercury) in the 70's dancing to this great band. At that time my cousin Terry Dayal was on guitar , Dave Martins , vocals and guitar , Clive Rosteing on drums and Joe. Brown on bass. Those were the days when you could go to a club and be safe not like today
