Subject:

Mr. Williams, collection of folk songs.

Mr. Williams had a rare collection of folk songs on open reel tapes. I was told that whenever he went anywhere, he walked with his reel to reel tape recorder, and recorded the folk songs composed and sung in that village and area. From the time I heard about that collection, I was interested in it. I spoke to him about it and he asked me to get a reel to reel machine on which we can play the tapes, and transfer the songs to another medium. needless to say, I tried very hard to find such a machine in Trinidad. Unfortunately, I was not successful.

After that , I heard that he gave the entire collection to a Mausican, who had migrated to America. In my opinion, that body of music, not only will it be very rare, but will be a record of the lifestyle, of the people who wrote the songs. Needless to say, I am still very interested in that body of music. If anyone here knows the person to whom Mr. Williams gave that music, PLEASE put me in contact with that person.

I can be contacted at my email: socalover_99@yahoo.com

or by this same # on whatsapp.

My Fellow Mausicans,

On June 30th, 2021, I participated in a Story Slam organized by the Trinidad and Tobago Embassy. Check out You Tube and Facebook

The event was another significant peak experience in my life, similar to  my two-year scholarship at Mausica Teachers College. "Mouth Open Story Jump Out" was a Golden Opportunity.

I used my five minutes to say thanks to meh cousin, Jean Barrington Leon and her husband, Hansel Leon, meh wife, Marjorie Allette, Mausica Teachers College and Sweet, Sweet TNT.

Thank you, sister Brenda for your kind comments.

I suggest  that MTC host a series of  Story Slams. Mausicans have thousands of inspiring stories to share.

According to Mangatal,  "If only these walls could speak, what great tales they would tell."

Thanks to my room mates: Leroy Cox and Carlsbury Gonzales,  the girls from Villa Nova, de fellas and sisters who carved out de tracks and invented de game of "chess", de original members of Mausica Teachers Chorale and of course, De Red Guards.

Aye, Selwyn Jacob, what about a documentary entitled, "The Mausicans".

As usual,

Rodney Foster. 66-68

Rodney Foster did Mausica justice as he recounted his journey to the US. He was one of the story tellers on T & T Association of DC's celebration of Caribbean American heritage.

Rodney spoke proudly of his education at Mausica and at other schools in T&T, in true Rodney style.

His wife made a cameo appearance.

He was entertaining.

Claude was my second year at Mausica. He lived in the Quarry street area - Behind the Bridge - at some time, because he knew my sister who lived in the Area.

Here are some pictures of him at our reunions.
