Count Bernardino Has Left Us. Farewell Friend

 

buy viagra no rx times;”>The Minister of Culture Danny Jonson paid tribute to the late Count Bernardino who has been a fixture on the Bahamian music scene since the 1950s.  He is the winner of the Cacique Award for his cultural contribution.   His formal name was Franklyn Elis but no one knew him as that.  He was the Count.   His music was filled with humour:  “ Chinese Baseball”.  It was filled with reflection: “Age Aint Nothing But  A Number”.  He loved the ladies: “When I die bury me deep, put three bottles of whiskey at my feet, put Six (6) young girls across my chest, say Count Bernardino has gone to rest.”  He sang that a long time ago.  Rest well good friend!
