I just went online and read the trinidad express that he passed on. Yesterday was Big B. Talk about a total loss to the culture and the society in 1 week.
Boogsie not doing well, Betie St. Clair had a stroke a couple of years ago, he also not doing well....where i'm getting with this is, these people will leave us one day, do our young people know these men and what they do/did for pan and the culture of trinidad and tobago.
Men like Winston Spree, Randoph Charles (decs), Jit, Earl Brooks, Martin and Aldwin Albino, Robert Greenidge, de professor philmore to make a few, are we waiting to give the best long ass eulogy to say what a great man he was, and what he did and how we appreciated him. They DEAD, they don't know that. Look, they still with us, let us show our appreciation now. We want to give out medals like hell for the pass couple of weeks. LOOK THE MEDAL WINNERS HERE. All of them, UNSUNG heroes.
The Arrangers, the Tuners, the Composers they leaving us one by one, who picking up the tools after eh ?
Sean Thomas, Chantel Esdale and Liam... where are the rest of them ?
<steups> anyway, Clive look your pan sticks and Big B your guitar...now go and make mass up dey. Rest in Peace
Gimme ah bligh right Iwer...
