: Where are the Our Boys Steel Drum Steel drum band and where can I prrchase their CDs...
Our Boys is the band run by Patrick Arnold, now the President of Pan Trinbago. The band is originally from Tobago, Patrick lived in San Fransisco for some time, and the CD's were, I believe, all recorded there.
I don't know how many of the personnel are common to the Tobago band and the San Fransisco band. Our Boys (The Tobago part of the band) was in the Steelband Festival, it tied for ninth place with CASYM from Brooklyn, missing the finals by four points.
A good source for many pan records is http://ecaroh.com I don't know for sure if they have the Our Boys CD's, but I think so. I've even seen them in Tower Records in New York City.
