Hi. Haven’t talked about my friend Wayne braithwaite in years. For those of you who don’t know,Wayne,myself another brother named victor and Alex all started playing together around the same time. The first band Wayne was in was with us four. We were known as BLACK GOLD. We were all just starting high school. I’m Perry the guitarist. All of us lived on Greene avenue in Brooklyn except victor who was the drummer. We spent many evenings in all of our basements practicing and making music together. We went to Bushwick high school on Irving ave. So if there’s anybody out there who wants to know anything about Wayne’s humble beginnings I’m sure the person to ask. He was exceptionally good and went on to levels I never imagined when we first started playing instruments. I haven’t seen or talked to Alex in years. He was the lead singer and percussionist. I believe he lives in North Carolina now. And sadly victor passed away along time ago as well. Before Wayne I believe. Anyway if anybody out there reading this would like to ask me anything please feel free to do so.
This was lovely to hear about him and his early days. My sister and I spent some time with him when he came to London on the 'Rock It' tour in 1984. He was lovely, a real gent and good fun. So sad he is no longer with us. I still have his neckerchief with me, will always keep it safe along with my good memories.
Wayne Brathwaite anyone?
