Hi Carlyle, I am so happy to hear from you, me eh business if the comment disappear you already said it, and that is what matters you were very instrumental in me being who I am today in the music business, you were patient and worked with me in those early years when I couldn't find my cue to start a song, I get some buff and some good encouragement.

hollis clifton said… Carlyle I am still to post your full story ... by year's end. However, I am sad to be the harbinger for this info. My neighbor from Brown Lane in San Fernando has passed away . He is Kenneth Berwick aka "Drago". He met his demise at the San Fernando General Hospital a few days after being admitted. He was an original member of Southern All Stars and in fact was the artist for the outfit. He designed and printed many a T-Shirt for the band over the years. More about Drago later.
