Selections from WITCO Desperadoes 1966 Album "Tripple Crown Winners" 

The Music from the sound of music my My mother Love their rendition, the tone of the Tanners, hope that the band does not loose this tone.

This is the first time I am hearing about James 'Bassman' Jackman. The word impressed is not sufficient. Something about Desperadoes that seems to attract a special a unique kind of talent. Right up to today. I cannot put mind finger on it. Maybe its the majesty of the those enchanting hills. Can't say for sure.

The greatest steel orchestra in the world. been a #1 fan since 1966 when the band played at my school (Trinity) in 1966. a free concert was arranged by our principal as he was on the board of witco.when they changed sponsorship from coca-cola to witco. A number of instruments were donated to start the school's steel band still with the coca cola logo. Forever grateful for the music and gesture..

So beautiful and cheerful to listen to. Thanks.

Such a trip down memory lane.....so nostalgic....music sounds like I was living it yesterday.

This is Steel band music at it's best. The selections give one the an understanding of what the Steel band is capable of in the music environment
