My Dad and Liberace on the Ed Sullivan show.

[kcdl]

I might have mentioned that my dad used to be in a steelband called "Trinidad Tripoli Steelband". They toured with Liberace for 4 years. Clips of Tripoli are now up on you tube. IN the clip below you'll see my dad playing the scratcher (this case two at once). At that stage my dad didn't play the steelpan himself. Check out the dance moves

Ahahahaha!!! I recognized him immediately. Excellent moves :)

that's awesome

I'll pass on the compliment :)

Yeah actually most of his band-mates were a bit jealous of him because he got more attention because was about to dance and move around. My dad was mainly friends with band leader and couple of other guys.

Sorry to have been out of touch.

I don't think it is possible to "reconnect" unless you have actually make a connection in the first place.

I have nothing to do with Liberace except and tenuous connection through my father. So I doubt my projects will interest you!
