She is originally from Danbury, CT but now resides in Westhampton, NY on Long Island. She should be recognized by her many show appearances when Club Trini used to play before the actual concerts starting at the age of ten(boy do I really miss them performing!). You are correct about singing Cheeseburger with Jimmy. That occurred in Manassas VA. in 2001. She also has had the chance to be in the opening number in the "Carnival" tour in Great Woods, MA. You will have to forgive me on the date of this. After all I am that old.. she is also an actor and dancer (appearing on TV and on small parts on the big screen and just flat out loves to perform for anyone. Look for her in the upcoming NBC show "Kings". You can also contact her if you wish on her "Meet the PHlockers" home page. ... and if you haven't figured it out yet, I am also a very proud Dad. I love you Mallory!!

from Reeferette Nadirah Shakoor MySpace:



They sold raffle tickets for his rendition that turned out beautiful, and donated proceeds to a Las Vegas charity. The winner was a woman from a town that I thought was in England and started with a... edit Y - Yorkshire.

Yes it really was me. I could not believe it and was really lucky. I had bought some raffle tickets and my friend Vinnie from California who we met at the Paris show shared tickets with me and bought 3 times more than me. She really wanted to win the painting and gave me her tickets while she went for a meal at the Flamingo and said she trusted me with her tickets. When they called the number out I had all the stack of tickets and my ticket actually won the prize. Hubby had already told her if I won I would give her the prize (oh dear) as we would never be able to get it to England. We went to the Flamingo where they were eating at 2 am and she screamed when she saw the painting. I gave it to her as they are hoping to buy a bar in St Maarten and will hang the picture on the wall of the bar. We will be able to visit the bar and everyone from the US will be able to see this painting and the story behind it. Hope everyone agrees that the painting would be better on a bar wall for everyone to see than on the wall in our house in England. I have not taken any money for the painting and people stopped me wanting it. The painting is beautiful and the night at Margaritaville was fantastic and so is Nadirah. l

If it's not, forgive me, but there is a strong resemblance and I got an email that sounded like he is the artist who was there.

It sure does look like it! I figured I could count on you, Nancy! Your research skills always astound me! I'd be willing to bet that you're right!
