Pleasant Journey "Tash".

I extend my personal condolences to the family of Tash. I have always been an avid fan of Despers legendary double second men ( including the likes of Tash and Pijou, David, Elmoose, Bolt,  Buffy and Michael.) (excuse me if I forgot anyone. 
I was so fortunate to play with these men in 1983 (Rebecca) and 1984 (The Jammer). It had certainly been my most memorable panorama experience in Trinidad. Since that time I have come to know Tash as a brother and friend. Whenever we met up, it was a case of reminiscing and fun. He was always a genuine brother. He has now gone on to join the Despers in heaven, where he will meet all the other legends from Despers. Rest In Peace my friend, You have certainly done your part for Desperadoes and pan in general. May Almighty Allah have mercy on you and welcome you in pan paradise.
