My Fellow Mausicans,
Happy New Year
Marj and I had a blessed and enjoyable Christmas Season in sweet TNT.
The laughter, fun and good food and drinks were indescribable.  In Trini parlance, we had ah real good time.
Meh pardner, Efebo, couldn’t find de Cuban rum he bring back so he introduce meh tuh Angostura’s Single Barrel rum. It was ah pleasure meeting dat rum . On de rocks or straight, dat rum is ah winner.
By de way, doh wait tuh buy it at de airport wen yuh leaving. At $80. TT, it selling out fast.
Another highlight of my stay in TNT was visiting Mrs. Cuffie on her birthday, Jan 6th.
Angela Cato Ifill pass and pick up me and Marjorie.  She also bring ah few julie and starch mango. Dey was sweet.
On arriving at De Cuff, we met  Barbara Walker Davis. Gwen Williams joined us ah little later. Boy, ah start tuh sing Sweetman Doray like how Elmo use tuh sing it.. De Cuff an de girls join in. It was vintage Mausica.. Barbara had copies of de program from de 2003 reunion with de words for La Porrinden,  Boca Chimes, Departure, Lead Kindly Light and Oh Betina. Yuh shoulda hear Daphne singing from memory while we reading from de program.  It was a wonderful time.
On Sunday de 9th, ah had ah lil lime in Dinsley. It was ah mini Mausica reunion. Ah cyar wait fuh New York.. Present were Lynnette Thompson, Farida Chapman, Lloyd Brown, Leslie Greenidge, Carl Caton, Andre Stephens, Clive Grell and Anthony Dalton Taitt..
Clive and his wife, Mary,  catered de food: dalphoorie, buss-up shut, pumpkin, mango, bodi and  curry chicken. De lime was great.
Next time yuh go down and yuh want any kind ah catering, just call Clive and Mary. Tell dem I refer yuh. Yuh go get ah discount an tasty, finger-licking food.
Dats all fuh now. More details and photos next time.
