Loss of a ‘great soul’ Tyrone Mason
Spread the love
A “great soul” and “excellent musician” are among the accolades pouring in for noted saxophonist Tyrone ‘Scaly’ Mason, son of the late cultural icon Oscar Mason, who died yesterday.
The Department of Culture released a statement of condolence, saying the country was once again bidding farewell to one of its most extraordinary talents.
“His contribution to music here in Antigua and Barbuda, and especially his involvement with Carnival, left an indelible mark on the many productions that he participated in and paved the way as a leading saxophonist and musician,” it said.

We’re pleased to have a ski season at both Vail and Beaver Creek this year. As anticipated, there are certain criteria that need to be followed in order for Vail Resorts to safely keep the slopes open. Here’s what you need to know before hitting Vail and Beaver Creek Mountains this month:
Face coverings – required to access the mountain, in all indoor spaces, in any line, in chairlifts and gondolas and whenever you are unable to maintain physical distance.
Reservations – A reservation system has been put into place for all pass holders and will be required for access to Vail and Beaver Creek Mountains before you arrive at the chairlift. There are various Epic Pass offerings, from just a few days on the hill to purchasing the whole season. Learn more at epicpass.com

In the summer of 1989, Ringo Starr proved that fading, under-employed rock stars like Levon Helm, Billy Preston, Joe Walsh, Dr. John, and Rick Danko could rise out of the casino and state-fair circuit by joining forces in a giant supergroup that plays nothing but their biggest hits. And for the past 32 years, his All Starr Band has given refuge to countless other artists who can no longer fill the big venues on their own.
