Ray Robinson producer of The Tides of Susanburg
Pictured here is Ray Robinson who was the producer of Guyana’s first Radio Soap Opera, “The Tides of Susanburg” and its sequel “The Girl from Susanburg” which I wrote in the 1960s. His was the voice you heard at the start and end of each episode. After he migrated to the USA, I lost touch with my colleague and friend, Ray Robinson. Some years ago, I began diligent efforts to reconnect with him; we had
not seen each other in over thirty years. Finally, on Tuesday June 27, 2017, I visited with Ray Robinson in New York. It was a great reunion and we spoke at length about the contributions we both made to Guyana Radio from the colonial era into independence. Together we made history. Of course, I took photographs of him for myself, and also to show his cousin, Ron Robinson.
