Nostalgia! The mellow gossamer of dreams and memories of Goa of another day......Now that the International Convention too is but a memory, what better than to use the space vacated to stock up on the pretty past that haunts us so....
Every day a delightful vignette will be posted up on the Convention site - if you too have something to share with us, please forward (with caption if poss.) and we'll put it up. We're starting today with a picture taken on the old "children's park" sand dunes of Miramar beach over four decades ago! Remo Fernandes' original "Beat 4" pop group of 1967 - 70: Luis "Remo" Fernandes on lead guitar, Caitano "Hank" Abreu on rhythm, Alex Rosario on bass and Steve Sequeira on drums. Remo, who first began on the banjo, had previously started his first pop group at the age of 10 - the Billy Rangers won first prize (the Valles Shield) at the Mando Festival in both 1966 and 1967!
