Clifton Glasgow laid to rest

Friends say Clifton Glasgow loved his guitar and his guitar loved him and the two could not be parted, not even in death.
Glasgow’s beloved instrument was also sealed in his casket at his funeral service earlier today at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral.
So impactful was the late musician’s contribution over many decades that Monsignor Vincent Blackett was moved to once again call for a Hall of Fame for people like Glasgow “who have contributed.”
“I think the time has long passed when a place like Barbados should have a Hall of Fame” Monsignor Blackett said as he implored Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy sitting in a front pew, to “do your part” to make it a reality.
Glasgow died following an alledged hit an run accident nearly two weeks ago, a death described by the Monsignor as “tragic and inhuman.”
Several of the entertainers who once shared the island’s musical stage with Glasgow teamed up to give a fittting musical send-off. (GC)
