Please note that there is a reunion for DGHS class of 64, and the person to contact in connection with this is Meryl Gluning Trevethan at meryltre telkomsa. I retired from educaton a few years ago and live in Ballito. Great band with great music. Wonderful days and great music to dance to.
Where did all those wonderful times go to. Cuckoo Lane with the musicians getting together after their regular jobs and just hanging out and playing great jazz.

The old Cosmo club in what was then known as Cartwright flats. There was also Cherie Wayner the organist and Boris Cohen who played at the Bencorum that was burned down. I know I am almost 80 years of age but there must be some of us left from those wonderful days in Durban where music was music. My e-mail address is marydrakesa yahoo. We danced to their music often at the Riviera Hotel and the Los Angeles. Gerald, thanks for this site, it is great to share memories.
I came across it today trying to find info that a friend and I were discussing, about Smugglers Inn and Durban hotels in general. My first question is were you a teacher at Avon Primary School in Westville mid s? I have a recollection you were as you taught my son there in But to your post. I recall John playing at the Los Angeles Hotel for the people who gathered in the open treed courtyard in the evenings. I was then playing Hockey for the Gongs Hockey Club and that was our get together venue after practice as the club had no clubhouse. That was Sadly bands as you describe them hardly exist these days and the ones you mentioned were all well known.
I remember Cherie was it not spelt Wainer?

There was also Eldon Hawkes at the time. Possibly one forgets that in those days, bands were hired to play at wedding receptions. If an evening wedding it was virtually the same. If you ever passed that building in the afternoons after school, you had a cacophony of sounds as students rehearsed. Simon Kerdachi taught drums there.
Yes one wonders where all these musicians disappeared to. As it is, the only place you see pianos these days is in the communal lounge of old age homes! Hi Gerald. Mine is one of them. And yes, we still do weddings, not as many as before, but there still seems to be no shortage of young people who like our music. One of the great loves in my life is your correspondent Mary Drake, with whom I fell in love when I was 10 years old, and Mary certainly knows those great days.
Hi Gerald So Sorry its taken me so long to add to my last post. Such a joy to see all the familiar names, most mentioned knew them or family members! Thanks you for making my day!!!!! Oh my word!! Gosh what memories this site brings back,, and how time has flown..
Where does it go??? I used to go there for piano lessons with the late Mr Patrick Chambers. If I recall correctly, he spoke about his daughter Cecilia named after the patron Saint of music , who was a student at the Natal University. She was also a violinist under his tutelage. If I remember correctly he told me that she had an accident at a young age and lost her life as a result.
There was also another music teacher, Mr John Shirley, Shirleen? I am so pleased to see that someone else remembers Mr. I started piano lessons with him when I was 4 years old in , for about 6 months. Used to hop on the tram. I then went back when I was 8 years old.
Sir Percy Scholes had taught him harmony, if I am not mistaken. He also had pictures of his late wife who was Mauritian and himself as a young man, as well as a piece of art that his daughter Cecilia had done.
I remember copying this idea. I think we paid R6 a month for 2 children to have piano and theory lessons. I stayed with him until my grade 11 standard 9 year, even though I had passed my grade 8 piano 2 years earlier. Thank you Mr. I also learnt music theory, violin and piano with Patrick Chambers in the s and still have a photograph he gave me of himself.

Used to live in the same block of flats as me in Kings Mansions, Acutt Street. Used to hear him come home late at night after having a meal in a small restaurant in Albany Gtove. He certainly new how to teach theory. A very lonely man who died at Nazarareth House. Will always be remembered. Hi Lynda — I also have a photo of Mr. I teach music and I have it up in my classroom at school. Yes he was lonely.
We often had him over for a meal. I do wish that I had told him just how much I appreciated all that he had done for me. This website is super cool.

It butts on to Winder St. That is in the vicinity of the Customs and Excise Building as one enters the harbour from the Esplanade. Lowers as owner. On one side at No 15 was the Dept. Strange request Mimi but that is all I got. With regard to your reply of July 8th to Mary Drake, I would have said that it was your namesake Gerald Kerdachi a very fine drummer who taught drums at the Art Centre. Sadly his brother Simon, a pianist and piano teacher passed away last night, 1st September , after a long battle with diabetes, and after a leg amputation. Gracious me ….. Or maybe uncle as next post says there were several families.
He was a couple of years older than me and I knew he played drums but did not know he taught them.
