"Where Do We Go From Here?

Reunion 2013 was a blessed experience. Congratulations and sincere thanks to the  organizers and all the attendees who contributed to its resounding success. It was vintage Mausica.

To me every day was special. The Registration at Mt Irvine Bay Hotel on 7/19 was a good kickoff. What a fantastic turn out! Over a   hundred registrants! Saturday’s Ole Time wedding in Moriah was both educational and entertaining.   Sunday’s service at the Canaan- Bon Accord Methodist Church showed that “My God Is Able”. An inspirational service followed by a scrumptious Sunday-food brunch was awesome.

We had to take a rest on Monday.  Tuesday at Valencia Eco-Park was relaxing. More good food, fellowshipping, communing with Mother Nature, ole talking and networking. Wednesday’s “Return To Mausica” reinforced  the messages in the theme of “Reunion 2013”, “Living the Legacy”.  Nothing in life is permanent. Therefore, we must make our contributions now. We must give thanks to those on whose shoulders we stand. Tomorrow others will stand on ours.

On Thursday, July 25th, we headed Sando and deep South. After a  tasty breakfast at San Fernando Hill, we departed for Point. Joan, Claire, Cutty, Geezmo,(Kent Rennie), Gregory Byrne and the rest of the Point Posse had promised good Southern hospitality. They delivered above expectations. A good rhythm section, steelband music by “FUCSDAT”, the acronym for Friends United to Conquer and Surmount Disaster and Tribulations, a DJ that was jamming tunes to make you dance, plus delicious food and drinks made  Point the top contender for the “Best Day” crown.

Friday night at the Hyatt was a night of pure elegance, reminiscent of a Mausica formal dinner. Decorator,  Ms. Gormandy, used Mausica’s  colors, red and white, in combination with gold and green to transform the hall into a beautiful banquet hall. The Marcelle brothers of Kalyan fame provided enchanting dining music. DJ Philo and son, Orion,  played  tunes  that had Mausicans on their feet all night. They saved Samba Pa Ti for the penultimate tune of the night. Couples danced and fell in love again.  Yuh shoulda see Joan and Mr. Braithwaite, Alisford and  Claudette, and , of course, me and Marjorie. Then they had us chipping to the slow version of All Stars’ “Woman on D Bass”. If yuh see we. Like Jour Ouvert morning on Frederick Street. It was a fitting ending to a most memorable night.

On Saturday 27th.  several of us had a cool down fete at Gerry’s home in Claxton Bay. The DJ had us dancing everything. More good food,, drinks and fellowship. De lime was real good.

Thank you Gerry and family for a wonderful evening.

My fellow Mausicans, it’s 2:00 a.m in Atlanta. I’ll return to my question in my subject line later.  Jet lag setting in.  Ah gorn.

As usual,

Rodney Foster.
