"Ah drink two rum and ah MARRY IVY"

BOSS/CLASSIC CHUNE!

Another fantastic arrangement by Frankie McIntosh. In St. Vincent and the Grenadines, this song, on MANY occasions, has been RATED as the BEST that came out of SVG.

What a beautiful time to born in St.Vincent and the Grenadines. Couldn't go to carnival as a young boy from Freeland Village Mesopotamia. The music remains strong and full of energy coming out of my hometown. Thanks to Frankie McIntosh and all the artist refusing to play dead and let the art form die. Still one of the best places to view costumes of the highest quality.

I'll do anything to get a LEGAL copy of this track. Memories of Vincy Mas all over again ::@CarnivalVincy::

Becket has always been a SOLO artist.

This was strictly done by Astericks.

Most of the MEMBERS of Astericks MIGRATED to the NORTH AMERICA and they formed the D'REBELS BANDS.

[marleyite]

Asterisks were formed in Layou, St Vincent around the early to mid 70's and provided back-up for most of Becket's recordings and shows.
