Narine, Dalton

Alvin Corneal - one of the country’s best cricketers in the 50s and 60s - caught Dalton’s story on the Steelband Panorama North-zone final in the Trinidad Guardian newspaper. The next day Corneal saw DN and said to him “That should be on TV!” and eventually urged DN to “jump in the car” and took him across to TTT (now-defunct Trinidad & Tobago Television), to the station head, John Barsotti. Barsotti said “Start tomorrow!” Public response to Dalton was very positive, who went on to spend the next twenty-five years at TTT. click for full story http://www.panonthenet.com/news/2010/may/Dalton-5-17-10.htm

I NEVER said Alvin wasn't alive. I said John Barsotti died recently.

Thanks - the error was not Dalton's, but the editor's - it should have been the late John Barsotti. Info has been corrected
