An exclusive interview with the late Alston "Lil" Jack
"I was born on the island of Trinidad and Tobago, which has one government. It is located near to South America, that’s in the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea. The population is over one million. The island I came from, Tobago is actually 116 square miles, and has about 45,000 people... I was nine years old. When I was twelve years old, I started to arrange for a band, the Tobago All Stars, the same band that I started with when I was nine years old. That’s three years later. I was arranging for the same band and took them to competition. That was in 1962."
