Podcast Episode Summary
Ever listened to that Hotel style Calypso and wished, 'boy I could do with a whole hour of this tacky old rot', yes?? Well you've come to the right place...
There's a certain sound to commercially minded Calypso, some of which was being performed for the exotically inclined holiday maker in the 50s and 60s and this 'sound' is what I wanted to get across on this particular show.. I hope I have expressed this adequately?
