Wow !!
What a Show ! Lovely .
Took me back to the late 50’s when I used to hammer out all those songs on the piano and irritate my mother to her limits playing them !
And then, at HFC- during the lunch hour, the nuns gave us permission to use the ‘drill room’ with the old piano, and there was I again- hammering out Harry Belafonte , and the girls used to dance away the lunch hour.
Then I found another girl to take over the piano, so I could dance !
Praxy- you came later on- but, Ranjani- you may remember these old Drill Room Lunch time dancing days, if the old nuns would let you Boarding Students out of their watch !
We Day Students had loads of fun with these old songs .
The only songs I did not hear Desmond sing was Banana Boat Song- and of Yellow Bird, Up High on Banana Tree .
Well, well- -again at the old KG Hall- dancing away at Block and Colors Night to those old songs , with the Crystal Ball-turning around on the ceiling casting such lovely shadows of color on all of us .
” Memories are Made of These … ”
Lets do it again- at Beruwala- Oct 2018 !!
Thanks Sam- just what the Doctor Ordered !!!
Some great songs, great voice, great beat of drums to give us all some good cheer – we all need it !
Forgot to add this little trivia – I saw Harry Belafonte at a Live concert in Ottawa some 40 yrs ago, and he sang all these songs and the audience went just wild !
Then, some 25 yrs or so ago- Gypsies came to Toronto- and that was a real great Srilankan Dance for sure , and of course I was 25 yrs younger !!
But to hear Desmond sing them, adds new meaning -specially Island In the Sun, Coconut Woman.
“Angelica Mamma gotta take you back, teach you the things you lack “– ya today’s hi tech gals- need to hear this !
Baila Kumari .
What a performance. Enjoyed every moment of it. It brought back wonderful pleasant memories.
Deepthi looks like Harry Belafonte is in your blood. “Hammering Harry Belafonte songs on the piano” wow ! what a talent. I could only sing a few songs.
