Tony Gits AS Jolly Roger 'Scene 1'

On the fourth of July some years ago I was working a gig in the Clear water Florida area when someone in the audience suggested to the manager of the venue that I auditioned for a part in a movie which was scheduled to begin shooting in the Tampa bay area. He gave me the information and encouraged me to go for a screen test. I had never been in a movie before and had nothing to lose. When I got there to my surprise there was about fifty other movie hopefuls trying to get this part, I wanted to go back home but a little voice told me to stay and try, so I did. Some of them had their body guards and managers with them! After sitting in a room for a few minutes a lady gave me a script and told me to learn the lines. The script was about a man who appeared to a little boy, giving him advice on how to become a better person and to appreciate his grandfather who had been a football player. The movie covered the boys trip to Florida to visit his grandfather.
I completed the screen test and to my surprise a few days afterwards I got the part. The movie was an NFL Films production about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tony Gits & Mike Crevier - The New CD

I was born and raised in Kingston Jamaica. We lived five minutes away from "Studio One", the first Recording Studio ever operated in Jamaica. My sister and I had to walk past this studio twice a day on our way to and from school. We would have to take the bus from Cross Roads to Half-Way-Tree. On our daily journey we would notice a long line of musicians and singers hoping to be noticed and perhaps get their "big break" There were all sorts of people hanging around, some were ligitimate others were only looking for an easy victim to rob. One day, while on our usual trip past "Studio One", I felt a hard, sharp implement pushing into my side, I was to be the next victim, the object was a knife and the holder was after my lunch money. This was not a rare occurance, we were frequently parted from our money. Imagine not having any money to get on the bus and having to walk to and from school. Also imagine being at school all day with nothing to eat or drink because some criminal took your money. On one occasion we even got punished by my mother because we got home late as we had to walk home. Later on in life I realized that these people were poor and probably hungry. The phrase "starving artist" comes to mind, they would stand in the hot Jamaican sun with no food or water waiting to get their chance at the big life. Those who wer e noticed would sell their song to Studio One for ten pounds, and even if that song became a hit record that was all they got! As time went on I became well known among the artists and the people at Studio One, this spared me from further robberies and I was allowed to walk in peace. Studio One was owned by the Coxsone,family and Mother Coxsone, soon noticed me. She would give me "test pressings" which were warped and of no use to them. I would hurry home to play them. This was the beginning of my love for and facination with music and the music business. After twenty six years in the music business I am able to understand the hardships those artists faced. It was even more difficult for these pioneers as there were no other studios to go to. They had no choice but to stand and wait and take whatever price was offered for their work.
