My Fellow Mausicans,
Sincere condolences to the immediate and extended family of my Big Brother Elmo.
Elmo was part of that group of Mausican folksong singers that revolutionized folksong singing in the Caribbean. My brother from Morvant coulda real sing and act. He was "Sweetman Doray.". He and Kay Cyrus were the greatest.
I remember travelling with him from Brooklyn to Long Island to attend Michael Dudley Dixon's funeral. Elmo and Bertie Fraser played their guitars. Mausicans cried and sang. It was another unforgettable Mausican experience.
Thanks for the memories Brother Elmo. It was a pleasure meeting you. Rest in peace.
Rodney Foster 66-68.
