      Thanks. Glad you enjyoed it. Most of the people mentioned are from the area around Pasea Village in Tunapuna where I grew up - friends, family, and people I knew who were involved in steelbands in Tunapuna and other areas.

    Excellent calypso, George! I'm a Trini, originally from Woodbrook, living in Montserrat and I've made a list of the nicknames of Montserratians too. Here they not only have nicknames, they also have one or more jumbie names, making obits quite interesting.

      @@calypsomusicgeorgerampersad Some of the nicknames here originated from the size of the person's penis. In another case it is passed on from father to son, and then on to the family dog! Lord help us. I used to sing calypso here, under the name Lady Evryting Done. Now I'm too old! Sigh.

      @@calypsomusicgeorgerampersad I recorded "Donkey Palitics" (not Politics because in Montserrat elections go according to whose pal is whose pal), "Coocoo-Roocoo" (about the fight between the rooster and hen as to who lays the bigger eggs), and "Chastity" (when an American friend brought down a chastity belt for me with lock and key because, in my old age, I kept claiming to be a virgin)! You shoulda seen me onstage. The damn belt couldn't go up past my knee! Bomber came up from T&T and stayed at our guesthouse. He encouraged me to sing caiso. I'm so sorry he passed away.

    A chap I know got bitten by a scorpion. From that day, he was renamed Poison!
