   Thank you for your interest. As producer of all of “Chaino,” I am proud of all the attention to Chaino’s works and proud of all you Chaino fans who have driven hin to star status. It’s sad he is no longer on this planet to witness and enjoy his success.

   This LP was Chaino’s third “Drums Only” and the only one of the three previous that is in both mono and stereo.

   The first two; “Jungle Rhythms” licensed with the “Score” label and “Jungle Mating Rhythms” licensed with “Verve” label were recorded in mono only beause stereo wasn’t yet created. It was shortly after it had been and we have Chaino’s first stereo LP licensed with “Omega” label.

   There are movements in the music industry toward the creation of a new sound in the “Jungle Rock” style by several record labels of which could be a blessing because it can be a far cry from what the kids of today are fed that many feel is immoral and unfit for our children.

   To correct misunderstandings about Chaino the man, he was not a barroom brawler as many say. On the contrary, he couldn’t fight his way our of a paper bag.

   His problems were caused mainly by those who objected to all his attention from the ladies.

   It was I, being armed, who protected him from harm by being at his side at every night club performance.

   I was his manager both personel and business and “NEVER” have taken one dime from him for my services. I saved those positions for later when he was more successful and could obtain bigger named managers.

   Thank you much for allowing me to make comment on this site. klRespectfully Submitted,
