    This gentleman is a wealth of knowledge and a great story teller. First time I saw him was his days with the Sagittarius Band backing Yellowman in Santa Cruz in 1989/90. After the show, he was lingering around outside of the front entrance and I was able to approach him and ask a few questions about Soca guitar. Very generous with his time. It wasn't until running into him on Facebook that I learned his name. But I could recognize him in every video that I have seen him in. Cool guy. Very knowledgeable and approachable. Big ups Andy.
