Thank you for your comment. I am so pleased to have made a link with your grandfather, and, yes, memories can be retrieved and brought back so they’re never forgotten.
Thank you Verlyn. I was really pleased to get your comment. I hope the photo brings back memories for you. I remember the night of that particular big drum very well indeed; like it was yesterday. Best wishes, Bill

Hi Philomem, That is the only photo I have of Sugar Adams. There are others I know. To listen to his drumming you could access the Alan Lomax recordings on Rounder Records first made in 1962. Just google Alan Lomax Collection and you will find interviews with Sugar and recordings such as ‘Carriacou Calaloo’ which is available to buy. Try this link of an interview with Sugar…… https://archive.culturalequity.org/node/54371
