Damn! Does he look good for 74! It's great that he's still around and performing. I've always liked the early calypso. Got into after a couple trips down to Tobago. The Smithsonian Folkways site has some really good cd's available.

I picked these up, and highly recommend:

Calypso Awakening

Has a good bit of Mighty Sparrow and Lord Melody

and this awesome Lord Invader Calypso in New York

Still need to get this one:

Honestly there's probably a couple hundred cds I would take from Folkways!
