Old time days-Trinidad. Everything must change, but we love the old time ways

[KAMBUIMEDIA]

glad i stumbled on this, knew nappy many years ago in NY, sorry he passed so soon

[Trinifuhlyfe]

ashton485 yuh stupid fuh spite dred yuh not a trini dan yuh is ah foreinger haul yuh muthacunt bring the old days back

[mamadeleau]

Thanks for this. I don't think you should apologize for the pics. They are very relevant. As poor as we were and as hard as times were we were a more humane society in terms of taking care of each other. Oil, money, and progress have their down sides.

[merlLH10]

We need to bring back the old Trinidad and Tobago

[kellotherig]

One people one country ,,,,

[indiandreamgirl83]

Thank you for sharing such an amazing nostalgia of T&T, to know where you are going you need to know where you are from, this reminds me to appreciate and respect who i am and where i am, and what my forefathers have all done to get me to where i am. i have no doubt, that eventually after then end of it all, will not regret what they've done and what we are doing to make the world a better place. Sweet T&T. Love Anjali - Toronto, Canada.

[zac3ne2nr]

@indiandreamgirl83  very honestly written , I could tell. Merry Christmas to fellow trini expat in Toronto.

[adrian7128794]

ah missing des days

[zac3ne2nr]

@ashton485 I live abroad too but you sound bitter or insecure yourself. The country isn't perfect. You're across the pond now, bleed red,white and blue. To the brave that have stayed or have to stay. Keep making a difference and trying to change things.

[tshaynto]

@ashton485 Shut up

[MarcusBernard89]

Aye. Chune. Memories. Tears also. Weys. Thanks for this man.

[guitarheromaniaco5]

This song reminds me of a simpler time which I miss so much. It reminds me of my dad who I also miss insanely. My heart is broken thinking the kind of Trinidad that my kids know and hate.

Nappy Myers

[originalTriniOne]

CLASSIC! CLASSIC! CLASSIC! From the moment this song was released it was an instant classic!

[TheArtangel02]

THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY........

[covergirlcandi7]

@TheArtangel02 me too!!!!

[zac3ne2nr]

I get what you're syaing and if it comes across like I'm making a mockery of the hardships then it's seriously misunderstood. The essence of what I was hoping to show was a simpler life,free from the tangles of predjudice and position.

There are alot more creative people than I so whoemever would like to better on this please feel free. I'll happily send you the song.

[MrTrinivoice]

@zac3ne2nr bro,,what you are doing is fantastic..whoever wants to glean some negative ..ignore them. hardships?? are we better off now??really ..more money.more .murders rapes etc..i am 49 and i would prefer to be broke and could sleep with my door open..no money, and dont have to panic if i cant reach my children,spouse,etc.are we living healthier? longer?better?

.brother..thank you for bringing back the old time days..some ppl will sit back wait for someone to do something and then find fault

[MrTrinivoice]

@zac3ne2nr bro its fantistic..there will always be ppl that sit and be critical about everything....I LOVE IT..thanks a million..

[socagunner]

@zac3ne2nr LMFAO, someone said ur making a mockery? LOL i cant even see an inch of that anywhere, Geez dese ppl need to go back in time. Thanks for the vid bro

[triniqueen2560]

i love this song from my childhood, everything was so much simpler back then

[cocoapagnol]

fus ah love dis! EV in video is so true. Thanks eh!

Cantaro girl

[cometoanend]

I remember the video as well. Nappy Mayers sitting with his black acoustic guitar and his curly hair. In between there were shots of settings from the old days, prob from my parents' or grandparents' time. One in particular was poor kids being resourceful in making a game out of holding a stick against an old bicycle rim and rolling it forward. Good clean fun...no guns, no hate. I always wished I could go back in time, to the 50's. This present era is too corrupt. Bring back dem ol time days.

[cometoanend]

I remember this song. It was my fav local song while growing up. The melody, lyrics and arrangement of this song was extraordinary. It brings back a lot of memories and feelings of nostalgia. I remember when Nappy Mayers died, at age 40 I believe. That was a bit of a reality shock. In those days, Trinidad was still a nice place to live. That was the last era of good morals, values and upbringing in this country. Now, I'm not sure I can appreciate all the "changes" that have plagued this nation.

[natsannho]

This is lovely :)

[Buji]

Beautifull........... Just beautifull.

Please just bring it back!!

[trinivibes4u]

love this song to the max!! oh gosh , ah still love de old time day, plz bring back dem old time ways.

[19kelzy]

di u hav the video for this song?

[zac3ne2nr]

@19kelzy Sorry my friend I don't. There are few other oldies I wish the vids were available.

[RyanBachoo]

@zac3ne2nr Don't be discouraged plz. PLease upload the old songs. The videos may not be available but the words bring back memories, and take me to a place I once was, and will never be again.

[cradleoflinkinpark]

[annroof]

Old time days and ways.... theme

[riven2040]

Right now Trinidad is the most fucked up place right now........

[annroof]

Not really, I think all over is pretty fucked right now....

[Ultimate007Trini]

@riven2040 SO TRUE, PPP MAKING IT WORST

[firedragop1]

My grandfather passed away last weekend and I kept humming this song thinking of him. Thanks for the upload.

[zac3ne2nr]

@firedragop1 : Accept my condolences my friend. I hold on to the things that remind me of my Grandparents also. Too much is being forgotten too soon.

[kbaldeo]

@zac3ne2nr So true brother... This is why our society is so devalued now... We need to examine ourselves and figure out what's important to us... This song is a great reminder of such!

Thanks for the upload!

[Trinitubeboi]

@zac3ne2nr thanks a million for this

[pravita11]

[dxtros1]

WOW!!!!! WHERE DID YOU DIG THIS UP FROM? I'm 30 yrs now and remember always watching and listening to this whenever it played when i was somewhere around 8 or 9! bring back simplicity, no crime, mutual respect, neighborly love, peace! great job. R.I.P. MR. MAYERS . To my friend curvisheart i'm afraid when you return to the waving gallery, you still won't remember,lol.

[Grummung]

Trini in Toronto, this is a much appreciated nostalgic moment - thank you! :)

[morpheus232001]

EPIC!

[TheUnderdog83]

[shine4live]

bommmmbbbbb babbbgg bannnggg gggg g bifg tune lol

[brucedaddymac]

where can i get a good quality mp3?

[nuselecta]

Lovely song .Photos are of great historic significance. BUT THEY ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE SONGr. They depict the real harships and conseqneces and infrastructure of the post slavery era and British Commercial Imperialism. Remember it was the blood of millions who worked the colonies that financed the deveopment of the west.LOVE HISTORY LOVE THE SONG BUT MAKE A NEW VIDEO MY DUDE . Bless

[rickyric1000]

great song and pictures..although i become so melancholy hearing this song every time

[badmanze]

3.07, dat ah big grupper, I WANNA fish in dem days

[seukeran]

@badmanze i was thinking the same thing...dat is a big fish

[4jnmj]

some things yes some things no more yes than no

[curtiss744]

Man this song brings back memories when Trini was Trini , liming, playing marbles, windball cricket, small goal football, it's ashame I wnt home twice in the last 2 years and the kids dont even play in the road in trini the way they used to, not to mention the crime which is really upsetting

[SandoTrini]

Beautiful

[Viperist300]

Best video man...yuh bring back some memories ....ahhhhhhh!!!!!!

[sentinel2020]

nah boy. that song really brings it back. sometimes things r better left as they r. trini surely is developing but the things that really matter are going away so quickly. god bless trini

[krishnaramkissoon]

nice song. do you have sweet sweet trinidad.

[tiggy411]

wow how i wish i could the original video to this song...nothing but sweet memories!!!!

[trinitablist]

zac can u send me some scans of those post cards im an artist looking to work on some vintage paintings

[nakevah14]

loving this song....it hurts listening to it though, knowing that things are so far from that now...saddens my heart...but I still love my country, Trinidad and Tobago, and will certainly continue in prayer for the nation, doing what I can through the help of God!

[triniphoenix007]

never mind to good old days were hard, it wasnt impossible, people were still humble and happy with what they got. nowadays we young people lost sight at what really matters in life. if any body could find that son "let the flowers bloom again" it would really be a blessing to humanity...

peace be to all

[MrPLatchman]

Come on Levi Mayers, how about exposing the brilliance of your fathers' works to the world?

[nottingwood3]

ah BWIA only a memory now

[HeroLolita]

love it!

[MsMELL666]

love this song

[jackpilots]

Thanks for posting! ... Fantastic song!

[shivan147]

I love this song! sometimes I really wish we could have gone back :)

[sudesh09]

I thank you for posting this memories of what my lovely island inspires me to make change thank you bring back them old time ways

[ivorton23]

i get goose bumps listening to this song. i was about 5 or 6 when this song came out and i still love it. rip nappy!

[CarriBee2009]

R.I.P 'Nappy,, my dear, dear friend. You were 'the best'. 16 years gone this month but never ever forgotten! I 'm sure you're serenading Paradise with your music!

[Miggy692008]

thanks alot for this song shows our culture from back the things really have changed

[arabianqueen2]

This song is a classic ^_^ I wish the video was on youtube.

[pressss1]

WOW!!!!!!! trini was trini in these time. sorry to see what it com to now.. IT'S SAD...

[luckypatrice2]

bring it back, bring it back! unfortunately we will never get it back.

[zac3ne2nr]

I'll be in Trinidad later this week. I'll get some present day pics of these places and hopefull some more lost tunes and history.

[yoshabelle57]

These pictures of Trinidad and Nappy's tune may be the only postives of Trinidad and Tobago at present. I thank you for posting. The soul of Trinidad is DEAD, the spiritual core of the Island, putrefying....We need some pictures of Tobago, our SISTER! Trinbago needs to confront the lack of structure in the home-absent parents, barrel children....poor language skills, lack of interest in education,in youth, no fear of God and authority, the drug trade... oil & Million$ flags not substitutes.

[jrmk9]

OMG!!! Do you know how long I was looking for this song... I am sooo glad i found it... this is sooo koool. I remember watching the video when i was a little girl

[GodinGirl]

When I think of Nappy, I think of Andre too (Tanker). RIP brothers.

[blkluster1986]

Lots of love to Nappy Mayers

[crystalchantal1]

DAMN IM MISSIN HOME SWEET TNT

[rwjazzz]

My Uncle used to play for the pam am north stars

[rwjazzz]

The greatest Place in the world TnT

[mayaro2]

Grew in Mayaro and Maraval, now living in Dumbo NYC! Man I miss them old time days. Where everybody knew everybody, play football in the rain, go fishing in the ravine, lime on the block till 2am.. That's what I want my kids to be expose to, not 550 murders/ year.... I want the old time days. And I am only 32yrs *SMH*

[AlisonTaurel]

Your video and Nappy's song really touched my heart. This is the Trinidad I remember. I wouldn't have grown up anywhere else in the world. Thanks for the great video!!!

[dianadeeksplummer]

Thanks so much for this! I'm a 67 year old exiled Trini so I recognise some of the pix well... As for the song - please tell me where I can get it ?

[curvisheart]

wow this was just awesome. I'm 24 and I can't remember what the waving galllery looked like. Thanks alot!

[zac3ne2nr]

Don't feel too badly my boy. Change is agreat and Trinidad is pushing forward but at the same time we seem to eb losing the things that made us unique. AS much as I can, I've been trying to preserve things by collecting and photographs. We have to remember!!

Thanks eveyrone for the comments, we all have equal share in this. If anyone needs the song, email me.

[dianadeeksplummer]

Not sure where to get your email address from but I would love to have this song if possible. Thanks so much

[choyyuen2]

Great research on the ole time pictures. But the songwriter was known as Richard "Nappy" Mayers. Can you advise how you will make the song available?

[WingManPilot]

@zac3ne2nr Poor Beautiful Trinidad and it's clueless inhabitants

[nickwalco]

i miss the old airport too, now im hearing that the new airport isn't up to International Airport Standards.

[cometoanend]

@curvisheart im only a couple yrs older than you...but i remember the waving gallery like it was yesterday. It faced the northern range(and runway)... a big, wide open gallery where you could see planes parked, taxiing, taking off and landing..and of course look out for when your friends/family walk outside to board the aircraft and wave to them. My fav part of the old airport, which I miss sometimes. I remember when I was much younger though, they didnt have the burglar proof barrication.

[cometoanend]

@curvisheart I mean...the barrication that was placed all the way from top to bottom at the front of the gallery. They only put that there later on, as a safety measure. From that point, it was disappointing standing "behind bars" trying to peep through.

[LenMan619]

Great pics, great song! The waving gallery.....B.O.A.C. ...The B.W.I.A. logo on a "Lockheed L1011 Tristar 500", "QRC Corner" Old Frederick Street...The Cathedral........where oh where has Trinidad gone?

[bitchiemcbitchie]

What great photos and music

[2309debbie]

Stupid people to have posted negative comments. They should have listened to the song. We all want to go back to the old time days when your neighbours used to watch your back and share what little they had and crime was not out of control. Great work I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

[bout3fitty2]

Where did you get the pics from? It reminds me of a book of photos that my Aunt had and mysteriously dissappeared. Sadly it's out of print to.

[blkluster1986]

thanks alot you know how long I been looking for this vid thanks alot man many youths my age don't even remember this tune

[ShariKylie]

Thank you for putting up this!!!! Love it !!!

[hutttz]

real hard song there dread. after a long search, ah finally get de thing with some good photos too. good work man.

[khegansimon]

Aye this is really a nice song.....I remember watching this on my grand mother tv when i was a kid and i loved this song so much...here i am 14 yrs later looking for this song online and found this...who ever uploaded this thank u very much for making my day and putting a smile on my face.....RIP Nappy & Granny

[MarissaDan]

beautiful.....

[lilnickey28]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! GREATEST SONG EVER! R.I.P. Nappy.

[mylamentations]

Great song and picts. Took me back to a simpler time I never knew. Sweet Trinidad! I can't understand why you'd get negative comments on this.

[VampireMadonna]

Hey, would you be able to email this song to me? Nappy was an old friend of my father's and he really likes this song and misses hearing it and I don't know where else to get it.

[missjohn316]

Thanks for posting!

[demiblade22]

HOW DID YOU FIND THIS!?

Thank youuuuu!!! Dying to hear this song for the longest time!

[Street464]

man i been searching for this song so long..thank you man..i love it..*tear* i want to go back home to trinidad..even if its becoming lil america

[sykochilli]

Now this is music!

no wine wave n misbehave, true melodious music !

[jeezman44]

Oh, how I miss the waving gallery at the old airport.

[brianahing]

zac3ne2nr somebody should say dis was Trinidad before the manning government cause dat kind of ketch ass doh compare to how bad life is now cause yuh cant live it if Trinidadians dying at an alarming rate because of a foolish dictator that is deep in the lodge. MR Manning what an educated jack ass

[zac3ne2nr]

t think the pictures I used were misleading to some. i got alot of -ve comments from people thinking it was us wanting to go back to a harder time with less and more poverty. That was not the intent, I jsut really was looking for an avenue to share the song...the pics were jsut what I had.

[Gelrent]

no matter what the old days were better man.... u can never please everyone...

[chronic3ne2nr]

This is a great vid and even better song.

[brianahing]

Andre michael tanker was one of the greats this is a beat song

[RayanneJD]

love the waving gallery @ the airport
