  • Congratulations cousin, you deserved it.  Carlton!

  • Mr. Leverock was one of the main people who introduced me to steelband. He along with a few other people(Anthony"Ike" Hinds, Coboa Jack Riley, Douglas "Douggie" Martin and Terrance Hinds to name a few) kept me off the streets of Brooklyn and in a panyard year round and made sure I stayed into music and out of trouble. Besides music, they taught me discipline and how to be a team player. Because of them I am the person/musician I am today. I am very thankful for the experience I have gained from them. To Mr. Leverock I say, Nuff Love And Respect To You!!! Congrats.
