They draw closer to Tee Tee and D*sean and their ears picked up

the conversation.



D*sean : so what do we do next? i've proven my love to you .where do

we go from here? i need to be with you tonight . i need to hold you for

the rest of our time here..so tell me tee..what do we do?



Tee Tee: D*sean I really don't know . i have strong feelings for you

and i know you feel the same,but in a few days we'll be lonely again.

you live so far away and i need someone to read me stories at night..to

walk the beach with. to hold hands and kiss . i do not want to keep

spending love on the phone. i need love at my home. i want to cook for

you..shower with you ..watch black and white movies with you. (**) your

kisses have convince me that you are the one for me.. so what do we

do.?. ill give you the answer later.



D*sean: shall we leave now?

Tee Tee : YES.

IN the middle of the song..they stopped dancing and headed for

the door. the two gypsy girls folllowed. On the way out they passed

PATT 7 and NUFF locked in embrace,, PATT 7 is Bajan.//.NUFF is

Trinidadian. == Together a lethal combination..



Tee Tee walked slowly to the car..she looked around for Anne,but could

not find her..she saw her friend Flygirl who was now exchanging phone

numbers with another guy who she did not recognize. she passed the

burly man ,who was chatting up one of the foreign girls..



D*sean ran out to catch her..he had stop to talk to someone about the

video shoot on monday. he really wanted to be there . they were

requesting that some of the party guess sign up as extras..for the

filming . he left his name and included Tee Tee's on the list without

her knowledge..he would surprise her on monday.

The car hurried to the hotel. they hurried to the room. the door

shuts behind them.. the soft light in the room lends itself to the

mood ..a gentle touch.

The door stayed shut . the morning broke through the window. room They

laid still on the bed.. the answer given . they were both satisfied...

~~~~

Back at the party..the music grooved slow.

Another D.J was on the wheels of steel. the couples were swaying to

the deep soul(de jams). some of the soca-wuk-up people had retreated to

the bar to replenish their hips.

The lovers covered the floor now and the music took them in.it was

great.. 70.s music..

DJ >BACK IN TIME. here are the songs.which made all of us fall in love

..remember this one..

He

holds up an old l.p..places it on the deck.



DJ: > The Dramatics : Thank you for your love.



song=== thank you baby .



i wanna thank you



for your love



you came along



and taught me that



man cannot live



by bread alone.



you came along



and taught me that



i can't make it



on my own.



so while i thank you.



i thank the lord above

for blessing ..me.. blessing me

with your love



thank you..baby.. for your love.



VERONICA. :* this is the jam* ..

Duawee and Veronica danced to every word. the song was just right for

their situation.



Duawee kept his eyes closed.thanking the lord for sending Veronica into

his life. Veronica held him around the waist . she thanked him with a

kiss (*).so much love was flowing through them now..like it was

time.time for them to be closer. the words slipped from Veronica.s eyes.

a haunting look. a desire look.

Duawee looked deep into her. he wanted her so bad. no-one else

mattered. they held on tighter .

Love

sometimes make you foolish.sometimes love can hurt you if you hurry and

it wasn't the right time.

so they held on .there was no need to rush.



( Another jam:)



DJ: > Bloodstone:: Natural High.



Veronica was in another world now.. here in Barbados .on this room it

was blue-lights in the basement.the music jammed her tighter to her

love..the past and the future ::HER & DUAWEE.



Song===== If

i could only hold you true.

but

i don't even know you.

if

i had but one word to say

it

would be yours



but i don't even know you.



i'll take to the sky with a natural high

love you more.till the day i die.

take to the sky on a natural high

=====

----()-------- ========



***( if any one has this song..put it on..it'll put you in the mood)***



%^^^**)(()_



The D.J was on the vibe..he took them down memory lane ./. he played

EARTH.WIND AND FIRE(( reasons_. played Marvin Gay (distant lover,

lets get in on._. Blue Magic (what.s wrong with my mind_.

then

the ulitimate song _ THE DELLS...(STAY IN MY CORNER)



the Dells... SONG:====



IF you stay.. stay darling



stay in my corner.



ohhhh

you'll make me so proud



if you stay ..stay in my corner

and i'll never.. never let you down.

just stay.. ay ay ay .. in my corner.



to the world i cry out loud



oh how i love you.



stay..ay ay ay...)



so darling.. stay.

stay stay..ay ay



......



*****(this is the song -if you have it play it)******



After five more love songs..the DJ departed..he was replaced by the

first D.J..so it was back to reggae and soca.



Everyone headed to the dance floor,the party was starting to wind down.



GABBY was in a corner with Monique.B . they were discussing the

spiritualism within the rastafarian movement. Gabby was approached by a

man with some papers in his hand. he wanted Gabby to read about the DON

DRUMMOND/JACKIE OPEL PROJECT, which he hoped to put on film..Don

Drummond was one of the most gifted musicians in the world. he blew a

trombone like Charlie Parker. the ska was created in his head.his love

was a dancer who he later killed..(love sometimes makes us do strange

things). he was a tragic figure. his head hurt and within the genius

laid a state of madness. he loved his music and loved his dancer

equally..so one day, when one love did not click with the other.. he

stabbed the love dancer to death. he was commited to a

sanatorium.where he died. just give a listen to the music ska..___train

to skaville / castro/christine keeler/nimbo



the skattalites .

==



Jackie Opel was also part of this era. he left Barbados to join The

Mighty SPARROW and Lynn Tate (guitarist extraordinaire) from Trinidad on

a revue..set up by Byron Lee.



After the revue was over.the three having conquered the newly

independent Jamaica(1962). only Sparrow headed home.Lynn Tate and Jackie

Opel stayed. Lynn with his guitar created sounds like no Jamican had

heard before ..the spanish feel mixed with a merengue beat. Lord

Tanamo,another trinidadian started introducing calypso to the masses.. a

jump up beat for the freedom crowd..



Jackie Opel ,on the other hand had other ideas...*if he could mesh the

soul from America into the ska of Jamaica and a little jazz feel to it

he would be doing something different. no name to this sound, just

different*.

Only Jamaican Roy Shirley could match in on stage. he tore up jamaica

back then..the Skattalites had a number of singers ,but none like

Jackie Opel. he danced like a man possesed. he wrote many songs,which

now bear the name copyright control.(who is controlling the copyright).

he wasn't happy after the years of being lied to..but before he left to

go back to his native Barbados,he recorded songs -dreams..premonition

of his death.



song===picture of smoke.



song====valley of green



song====sometimes i wonder



song===don.t let me die



song==== lord,i'm glad you are mine.



this list goes on and on... he left Jamaica.. and return to

scoffs and curses. he tried his best. he told them from his stage they

were his Eternal Love. if they did not heed his words..they would

Cry Me A River. .All the hurt within one man . a small man with a

manface.he jump up and down .taught Richard Stoute the waddle dance. he

brought the Opels together .taught them harmony.

Hear HUBERT (ANGEL )GRANT and MIDGE SPRINGER sing.; Unchained Melody.
