Nat Cambridge: The Worth of The Artist - Feb 19, 2015 - 5:26:34 PM
 Recently I took the reins of the Grand
Bahama Entertainers Musicians And Artists Assc. (G.B.E.M.A.A. ). In the
short time that I have been at the helm of this once again fledgling
organization some things have become clear to me. Some disturbing and
some reassuring. One reassuring thing I have discovered is that there is
a wealth of talent and skill present in the entertainment and arts
community of Grand Bahama and in even in the everyday not interested in
that artsy stuff Grand Bahamian. More than you would normally find, per
capita, just about anywhere in the world. This is due primarily, in my
opinion, to the fact that talented and skilled entertainers and artists
frequented this little island from the 60’s trough early 90’s and
invariably left offspring that carried the genes of musical and artistic
geniuses.
