without him - he hasn't been well for some time.
That said he did perform at a function here in December. The stupid local Observer had a piece last Thursday saying he was on the mend because he had been discharged from Intensive Care.

Bunny's real name is William Clarke. We went to so many of their performances over the years. I know Cat Coore very well but never knew Bunny that well. That band was made of of serious musicians - Cat's mom was one of the best music teachers in Jamaica.

I LOVE their sound. As one who spent many many years singing in ensembles I can appreciate the work that comes with bringing forth a unified sound like that.

May the goddess, Bunny Rugs.
