My Fellow Mausicans,
Do you remember dem Carnival dance we use tuh have at Mausica? Harry Joe an de Ministers of Entertainment use tuh make sure dat we had nothing but de best: Mano Marcelin, Joey Lewis, Ray Sylvester, Solid Seven, Angostura rum, Carib and, of course, Fitzie's Rum Punch. Dose were de good ole days.
Mausicans, 66-68 and 67-69, do you remember de year dat de Havenites almost made ah clean sweep? If we coulda take part in de Carnival Queen contest , we woulda win dat too. Do you recall de morning dat all de Hvenite brothers wear jackets tuh breakfast and assembly? Every time de Joe announce one of our victories, we stand up an take a bow. Calypso King ; Lester (Efebo) Wilkinson, Road March King; Letster Wilkinson, winner of de Ole Mas Competition; Fair Haven. It was Mas in de place. Vintage Mausica. Picture Scratchei playin Beryl Wood, Lester interpreting Modern Maths, "Mud N Mats" and Rodney imitating Ms. Cuffie conducting de Folk song Choir. H e was wearin ah wig from somebody in Villa Nova, his sister short dress and high heel shoe and ah pair ah boxin gloves from de gym. De Characters were hilarious.
By de way Scratchie, yuh hear dey alleging dat de Patriots deflated their footballs? Any suggestions on playin "Deflated Balls" in ah ole mas competition? Or Happy could compose ah calypso.
On a more serious note. Our Mausican Brother, Alan Simpson, , ah Grandee boy, successfuly completed two terms as President of the Trinidad and Tobago Association of Georgia. He lived our motto: " Molding A Nation Through Service".
So long for now, my friends. Condolences to the bereaved. Let's continue living our legacy.
As usual,
Rodney Foster 66-68
