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.
