  • Reginald "Panky" Sobers was like family to me. He was very generous, funny, yet always filled with good ideas. He was the one who got Boogsie to work with Silhouettes Steel Orch in 1998 which produced one of the biggest bands to enter NEW York's panorama (140 playars). Again,he was very involved in the calypso shows in Marsicans panyard on Sundays which brought us large crowds. My condolences to his family and friends. Gone but will never be forgotten.
