"INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY

Aye, hear nah man, wherever I go I can use “Mausica” money.

Fuh example, de odder day, Alan Simpson introduce meh tuh his cousin, Mike Lewis, from Sangre Grande. Of course ah ask him if he know meh pardnah, Braf, and his father who was ah policeman dat never arrest nobody. Well talk start. Then he tell meh dat he was ah postman who use tuh work in de post office in Brooklyn at de corner of Church and Bedford. Avenue.

Right away ah arsk him if he know Garvin Philip, meh Mausican brother. Dat is how ah get Garvin number and call him in Orlando. We ole talk fuh about two hours one night. Just catching up on shared memories.

Did you know dat is Garvin who encouraged Mr. Williams tuh buy ah big, string bass fuh de choir? An he use tuh play it too. He also say dat he was de first teacher tuh introduce steelband in school. Ah remember readin de article in de Guardian.

Enough bout Garvin, fuh now. Leh meh tell allyuh bout de lime by Mike Lewis. He say he was ah big time DJ from de East, Grande. Wen he start tuh play some oldies so ah had tuh take ah dance wit meh wife. De man drop ah Fausto Papetti on meh. Ah tink de tune name Caleb. Dat was one ah meh wife tunes in Mausica. De next tune was “Black Magic Woman” by Santana. Allyuh remember dat one?

Well boy, meh mind run on my DJ, from de East too, Arima. Some call him DJ Philo. I call him Alis, short fuh Alisford. Ah know he getting ready fuh Reunion 2013. Danceros an ballerinas get ready. Is “Dancin Wit De Mausicans “ at de Hyatt.

By de way, hats off tuh de planning committee. Keep up de good work. De next assignment is ah media blitz tuh remind de world about “Living The Mausica Legacy”.

My condolences to all who have suffered the departure of a loved one. May they rest in peace.

As usual,

Rodney Foster."
