GO TO THE 6:28 MARKER: At the town hall meeting in 2014, Chief Alaagba blessed us with his presentation of the Yoruba/Orisha origins of the steelbands. He also reminded us that Alexander's Ragtime Band was the first "steelband" in the World, and that George "Sonny" Goddard was one of the original members of that inaugural steelband.

As I said, "I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE MODERN WORLD TO HIGHLIGHT THE AFRICAN YORUBA/ORISHA ORIGINS OF THE STEELBANDS WITH CHIEF ALAAGBA (KING) IN 2014!" Being "Black" is more than a matter of convenience to me. Unlike some.
