The Percussionist



















My younger brother Fred Lewis. A sharp dresser and as you 
can see in this painting, which also reflects the time period of 
the late seventies or mid eighties. Growing up I remember his
incredible musical talents even as a child. Watching him create 
‘soulful rhythms’ beating on coffee tin cans even before he was 
able to purchase his first set of bongos. It was evident he would 
make his mark in the music field as a percussionist with Lakeside 
creating hits like ‘All the Way Live, ‘Pull My String’ to name a few.
