Great upload. Although I not know much about these legendary groups, I still remember the old hotels like Taj, Palace and Midway House etc. Most of these Xaviers, D'Souzas and Lobos have now left Karachi and took the happy days away with them... I miss the laughter filled Saddar streets of those days

Good job, Lyn!

Hell, I need to start LML (Legendary Musicians of Lahore) now! How much would a franchise cost in Dirhams? :))
