"Well what we are speaking about here - the era we speaking about here – the majority of the [steel] pan man from the early days was unemployed. And they eager for this new invention. [It] was something that everybody – the guys in the ghetto craved, and [as] fast as one invented something on the [steel] pan or played a new tune on the pan, he couldn’t wait for carnival or any festivities. So, the guys now, unemployed as I said, have no sense of direction. We just played music, and we happy, and that’s it."

<p>"The history of the steelband in its early days - you find that a man by the name of Manning [Eustace Henry] who used to live in St. James [Trinidad], he left here and he belongs to St. Lucia [or] Antigua [somewhere] around there.<span> </span>He left here with a pan and eventually when he went there - they knows nothing about steelpan - he opened a band.<span> </span>And you find Antiguans - by he doing this Manning … and Henry -<span> </span>they got two steelbands over there in the earlies [named] Hell’s Gate and Brute Force.</p>
<p>I left Trinidad and went to Tobago and when I went there I opened the steelband there [called] Paramount in Delaford Tobago.<span> </span>I met a guy who from Trinidad - left Trinidad - and was living up there by the name of Cecil Baptiste - I believe he is dead now.<span> </span></p>
<p>Whilst I was in Tobago, I met Viking the calypsonian.<span> </span>He helped the band they call « Our Boys » today.</p>
<p>Also Rannie [Randolph] Babb - yes, [the] retired police officer - he was in Tobago and he also assist[ed] another band and open[ed] another band who knows nothing about [steel]pan - and so steelpan start in Tobago.</p>
<p>Our tuner Randolph Simmons « Croppy » was such a favourite that sometimes you [would] have to look for him.<span> </span>And when we get up in these places like Tunapuna [or] Arima, we find him up in some hole tuning pan for some guys - so he spread the gospel too.<span> </span></p>
<p>Due to the various steelband clashes and thing and forming the steelband organization as such mehself, myself, Sidney Gallup, Natty [Nathaniel] Crichlow, and [the] same Lennox Oscar Pierre.<span> </span>We had to go all part of the country with Carlisle Kerr - that time we used to travel by train - and by going to these various places you would hear a pan knocking in a yard.<span> </span>And when we go in that yard, you will see one fellar playing a pan. We encourage him and they would get a group and form a steelband. So this is how it spread."</p>
