Hylton Lewis is among those I refer to as a Guyanist. He has been a great influence on my life when I was a teenager with his advocacy and practice of values that still mean much to me. He has a charismatic personality, a vibrant assertive voice, and is a true eccentric. It is both a privilege and delight to know him.
In the tenement yard where I lived, a gentleman by the name of Mr. Cummings owned the only radio and used to play it loud on Sundays to allow others to hear the church service. This was followed by a programme of Classical Music produced by Rafiq Khan. I sat on my step each Sunday to listen. Mr. Cummings on seeing this later invited me to sit on his step and eventually to enter his home to “…sit on that chair”. I duly complied with his order.
