When reading Samuel Charters' saga of his search for Frederick McQueen, one gets the sense that he is chasing a ghost on the Bahamas' largest island of Andros - coincidentally known for it's mysticism and unearthly objects. What Charters discovers, however, is one of the country's greatest ballad singers and in the process recorded several examples of the dying art of Bahamian three-part contrapuntal singing, as on "Pytoria (Run, Come See Jerusalem)" or "A Great Day is Coming".
