ReplyDeleteI played Organ with Don Carrington during the 1980's. He was a great guy and a fine Sax man.
Funny, during the 2 years or so we worked together, he never told me that he had cut this record. I remember Don stayed with me for a couple of days, and he cooked a fine Jamacan dinner for my family.
Cod Fish and Aki Rice.
Awesome!
