Nassau, Bahamas - King Errisson spent his first day back from  Acklins Island, his Heritage Home, visiting with very Special People!

The Day began with a Courtesy Call on HE Dame Marguerite Pindling, Governor General; he was thrilled and honoured to meet the Governor General; King Errisson was accompanied by his sister, Ms Maddie Ledard.

Then, a stop at Bahamas Welding and Fire, to check up on ole friend CEO, Alphonso Elliott; there he ran into a running buddy,  Jennings.

Now it was time to catch a Boil at Charlie Major's where he was introduced to Jah Cure, a Reggae Star from Jamaica. The mood was electric, as Jah Cure celebrated the pioneering journey of King Errisson and his value to other performers and entertainers in the Caribbean.

Later in the day, it was lunch at the Poop Deck, with Booker and then down in the Grove, to a few delightful nephews and cousins!

Later on, its an evening with 'Ronald Barefoot', on the National Radio, ZNS 104.5 FM,' the Cultural Caravan Show'!

"It's been quite a wonderful day...I want to meet Vola Francis and Tonz, the costume master...I hear a lot about them!"

"I am saddened to learn of the passing of the Buttercup; he was a fantastic showman and entertainer. The tourists loved him!"

"I hope to chat with Raphael Munnings, before I leave," said Errisson.
