Chico,
Passionate - that is what Sammy is. I have watched him perform several times over the last two months and one thing that stands out is his passion for music. It’s always a pleasure watching him perform. I never tire of seeing him perform “To Be Lonely”, and even now the song is stuck in my head.
sammy,,
if given the proper chance,,,he has what it takes to get there..his act alone is captivating
sammy baksh is my uncle, and he’s just not one of the most talented musicians in guyana but the most kind hearted personi know. i have never gotten the oppurtunity to see him perfrom live, but i have seen him rehearse and i can see and hear from those experiences the passion he has for music.
You could check his videos on Baiganchoka
Always wonderful to know that Sammy is still going at it. I am very proud of this man and his accomplishmennt. The song “To Be Lonely”, sounds better each time it is played. I grew up with Family Teach and I am very sorry he is no longer around to collabrate with the new generation as Sammy and others are doing.
The only gold medal we will ever get is XM Gold Medal.
So Sammy and Terry continue to big up Guyana in your own way.
THATS MY STEP DAD YEA!!!!!!!!! HE ROX
