"FLOATING THROUGH LIFE" - AN ORIGINAL BY BAHAMIAN ERSKINE KNOWLES

Erskine Knowles wrote the first verse of his song "Floating Through Life" while he was walking around Goodman's Bay, Nassau, Bahamas, for exercise in 2018. He noticed how many beachgoers were smoking, drinking or taking drugs. He thought to himself that they were just floating through life like a butterfly, without a care in the world.

It was after Erskine's surgery in 2013, when he became clinically dead from loss of blood and had to be brought back to life by the doctors, that he was inspired to write more songs. He hadn't written any since the 50's. However, he had kept on playing guitar and singing every chance he could get (in The Bahamas, Miami Beach, on a ship to England, around Devon and Scotland). He had his own band in the mid-sixties at the Lisbon Club, Bay Street, and they also played at parties around New Providence.

HISTORY OF A GUITAR

 

One of our followers at on our tiktok platform asked: "I like your music. Where did you get your guitar?"

My husband Erskine has had many guitars (electric as well as accoustic) but he bought this accoustic guitar from a music store in Davie, Florida in the early nineties. It was made by Hohner, one of the oldest German guitar makers.
