Rosanna Toney May 14th When Steel Talks extends Birthday Greetings to percussionist Rosanna Toney “It was easy for me to adapt to the engine room through my profession as a dancer; I’m a dance instructor, that’s my ‘living.’ I love rhythm and I also play drums, and through that I said “I just have to play the ‘scratcher.’” I just love music, I could play the congas, the cow bell, you know. That’s where it [the love for “scratching” in the engine room] really comes from.” “And my father is also a panist, [back] home [Trinidad]; at the age of eighty-something, eighty-five he still plays pan.
