Robert Wayne's Bio
Robert Wayne has his roots in the Caribbean. Grew up in the USA he currently lives in Germany.
"I play with various bands and different styles of music from Soca, Calypso, Reggae, Salsa over Jazz, Latin Jazz, R&B, Soul, Funk and sometimes Pop.

Robert Wayne started his career in Germany as a musician more than 10 years ago. Before, he worked as a diving-teacher on the Caribbean island TOBAGO. Then he deeply fell in love with his German wife and moved to Germany. He became a Jazz musician.

It was pure accident that one day he got a leaflet of "Aidlinger Jazztage" in the end of 1995. He quickly decided to buy an E-Bass and joined the "Workshop for Beginners". He learned very quickly and it was only natural that he played a great "Walking Line" at the end of the first concert successfully. Robert Wayne himself was very keen on practicing and he tried to play every piece of good music.

In 1998 he became a member of the "Renninger Bow-Tie-Big band". After 2 years of working together he left the band for his own development approach. He also earns some money for playing the Upright bass.
Then he started mixing up these various musical styles like Reggae, Blues and Funk. New contacts to the Bass-player Alvin Mills were offered by Pops Wilson. Alvin Mills also organized a TV appearance together with Mary J. Blidge.

A short time ago Robert Wayne has recorded his new CD titled " Robert Wayne plays Wayne Shorter" at the Maryland-Studios in Weil der Stadt in cooperation with Pianist Daniel Prandl, Saxophonist Ray Blue and Bassist Niklas Deegs

TOBAGO Ah Tobago sweet Tobago (Home), When God started to make the world! he stated in Tobago and then Continued with the rest of the world.

Tobago is part of the twin Island state to Trinidad and Tobago. Tobago is the most southerly Island of the Caribbean chain and the last tourist haven that is still unspoiled.
Tobago is 35km long and 7km wide and has a lot offer any who visits it shores. the southern end of the Island is known as the party side and the northern end is natures paradise.

The Northern end of Tobago has a lot to offer, the drive up the Atlantic side on the windward road which is lined with villages with unique names such as Mount St George, Study Park, Pembroke, Richmond further up Delaford, Louie Doir, Roxborough, Speyside, and Charlottesville, just to mane few. For the nature lover this is the best end you have the rain forest with rich verity of birds, insects, plants and animals, you can get guided tours to the rain forest, one the best is H. McDonald (Jaws). You also have Goat Island and Little Tobago AKA Bird of Paradise Island, Jaws Would be able to give you all the history about the two Islands.

You can drive the on Caribbean side of the this where you will find name such as Great Courland Bay, Culloden Bay, Arnos- Vale, Castara, Parlatuvier, Bloody Bay, to name a few, you can see the Sisters, The Brothers, and St Giles Islands from this where I might add you get some very good Big Game fishing and some good diving.


Now for the party side of the Island the southern end, The airport, Store Bay, Pigeon Point, Mount Irvine, and the list goes on (you can find out more where to go when you get there). Store Bay is one of the more popular beach in Tobago along with Pigeon Point, Store Bay Beach is free its a public beach with beach facilities such as showers, toilets, bar which also sever food. Store Bay also has one of the best eating area on the Island, about 100 yards from the beach you will find quaint little store that sell freshly made local dishes, for around 20 TT dollar or 4 US dollars you get a great meal with a large drink of you choice, (Miss Trims Has the best food). Store Bay is famous for is life (ask for Jaws or Cappy) guards they are Friendly, honest and very helpful.

Pigeon Point is a 10 to 15 min walk from Store Bay unlike Store Bay at Pigeon Point you have to pay to enter (12TT Dollars), inside Pigeon Point you will find a beach bar, beach chairs water sports such as Wind Surfing you can play volley ball and so on most people like Pigeon Point because it the way they picture the Caribbean but watch out for falling coconut (joke).
