Got a vinyl copy of one of their albums during a trip in 1983. Plus a couple of albums by Mighty Gabby. I'll put the album on mp3 one of these days! With the nice crackling sounds which I love.
@cobybrouwer Begrijp je wat het nummer is te zeggen of heb je gewoon de muziek en het ritme liefde. Het moet leuk zijn leven in Nederland in het voorjaar en de zomer zijn.
Part 2: Do you know why the beach had the two names? I new Rockley for a fair number of years, then I heard Accra. I never got a clear answe. Just Curious. I was trying to remember Cheffet. Is it still there? Goddards Store, is it gone? Wish I could write a normal email. So much to say. I've wondered about making a trip back.There's that part of me that wants to remember the Barbados I first fell in love with. I'm being silly? My Barbadian connection is deeper then I've said.Love East Coast Rd.
It's really nice that you took the time to make a reply to my comment. I read what you wrote under the "Ivory" video and you helps my grasp so much more. The PepperPot! My frist time my first night in Barbadoes, then they moved to th Plantation. It was nice but I always missed the PepperPot. Since I wrote my first note to you I did a Google Maps search, I was trying to find AccraBeach. That was the beach that I went to for years. I have a question. I first knew it as Rockley Beach, then Accra...
Hi BB, Are you Bajan? My mom took me to Barbados in 69. I kept going every year until 89. It almost hurts to think of it, those were very special years, Wish I had breathed in deeper, relished every moment a little more. Sailing up the coast on the Jolly Roger & dancing to the Merrymen! It was so beautiful. Such special days! I will always remember eager to feel the sweet hot air hit my face when the plane landed, facing the planes doors waiting for them to open & that Barbdos air rushing in!
@rda4265 Yes, I am Bajan born and bred, as the saying goes. And I was truly impressed with how vivid your memories of Barbados are. We've developed a lot over the years, but there are still those special little spots that haven't changed that much. Nothing's more enchanting than to see a sunrise on East coast road or to watch the green monkeys frolic in the garden, picking the golden apples out of the trees. Now I hear the they are so bold that they are posing for photos in Sandy Lane. SMILE
The only confusion would be if you got a MerryBoys album who were a younger group.. But this is absolutely the Merrymen...Cant miss Emile's voice..Enjoy
I spent my honeymoon in Barbados and it became our holiday destination for ever after. This song was forever playing then. I now live in Trinidad but Barbados will always be my favourite Caribbean island.
I was in Barbados in 1974 and seen the Merrymen and bought their album when I was there. I don't think this is the same group. Would you know anything about the group that played back then. I lost their album I bought and it meant a lot to me. I would appreciate it if someone knew how to get that info and write back to me on here. thx guys
@juniorsjoy Hi there Juniorsjoy, I can confirm that this is indeed The Merrymen of Barbados (the one and only). This particular performance of Beautiful Barbados is a recent remake on their part some 40+ years later. What I will try to do is to send you some links to their more vintage 'stuff'. Have a listen to those links and then give me your feedback. Have a wonderful day.
@unit36 I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this one by the Merrymen. Yes, I do agree, it is quite soothing and it does help to make it through a hectic day and other tunes that are a bit to harsh on the eardrums.
i have the song but the video is lovely and i put it up whenever i feel low, it so speaks to me it would make great screen saver! unfortunately i'm not a computer techy so don't know how to do thse these things
@NENARENA1 O.k. I will check with someone on this end and see if I can provide you with step by step instructions on how to install the file as a slide show. I will get back to you on this. Have a wonderful day!
The merry men will always be the only merrymen,there will never be no one like them. I LOVE THEM.
