your love keeps missing
whenever i touch
you..
nightime romances
daytime glances
too many chances
to be seen
together
(chorus)
i... i ..i hurt easily
waiting here in desperation
for your phone call
i...i'm hoping..hoping
not to fall
in love with you..again
waiting for your love
so much a burden
so uncertain
waiting for your love
all i do
is cry, cry, cry
from your lie lie..lies
just...waiting for your love
to come in
waiting waiting
yesterday,
full of despair
i called your job
you made me cry
cursing me,hurting me
with another lie
why oh why..
does love have so much pain
it's driving me insane..
but,,,stillll
i keep waiting... waiting
for your love
chorus;
..i ...i hurt easily
""""'''"""
::
i want you to make
make a decision
tonight
or stay outta
my sight
i don't need you
i don't need.. nee..nee
oh those kisses again
you know how to move me
you'll have to give love
so we can have a future ..er...er
stop kissing..stop...kiss..
aww.. well,this is the last time
i'll be waiting for your love.

There is a 10 second delay after the end of the song.some people look
at each other..then one clap grew into three claps..then a mixture of
claps ,whistles and murmurs.it is a warning song..will the great country
of Barbados heed the words of the Rastaman or will it remain on its
knees,praying and afraid?
MC:That was cool..i would like to hear the words again..maybe later..
alright den..let's get a move on..the next performer on stage will be..a
three girl act from St.Lucia.the names of the performers are Chantal,Tia
and Scarlet...... the name of the group is: 3-UHWEE
3-UHWEE:This song is dedicated to the people of the Caribbean.the
struggle we have endured for so long.its also a plea for us to live in
harmony.it's a song written for us and we are giving it to YOU. It's
called: CARIBBEAN PEOPLE.It's done in a slow soca beat,with a tint of
zouk..please give a listen and repeat the chorus,when we signal...ok

chorus; Caribbean people...
:::;;;;;;;;;;;;.
They run off the stage..it's a feel good song..just the lyrics
needing tightening up..
MC; wow nuff talent in here tonight.. we need to film this..
Patrick Hoyos shouts from the front row: ''Don't worry we got it
covered..''
MC;OK ..next performer.. will Ingrid Alestad,please come up and do
your thing..
It's Ingrid...,Brian's Ingrid.. Brian is shocked because she never
told him she was one of the performers..she reaches over and kisses
him,then whispers in his ear..
Ingrid; ""this is for you and how you make me feel"
Brian is slightly embarass .he had no idea..he hopes she doesn't make
a fool out of herself.Veronica is intrigued..~~first she dances
bajan,then she speaks bajan..i wonder if she sings bajan"~~
Ingrid walks to the stage and hugs the MC,who is taken aback because no
one else showed him any love,like they do on the apollo show. she feels
so good in his arms..the M C nearly falls over while exiting the
stage..he would like her phone number.
(No chance. remember Brian is Victor Mature's HERCULES and he can
slaughter any lion in the coliseum_)
INGRID; i thank you,let's also give a hand to the other performers
on stage and to the D.J..he's doing a wonderful job..
the song i'm going to sing is a song,which so much reminds me of this
island and the people i have met. i'm in paradise...the name of the song
is....I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU..
SONG:
I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU CC..1998^^WFS^^written by Dennis Young
soon,i'll be ..soon, i'll be gone
away from you
and paradise..
it's been wonderful here
the people so friendly here
the sand and the sea
the sunsets and breeze
are all in my memory
walked along the shore
this morning
the waves and my heart breaking
i'm gonna miss you
i,so much, want to kiss you
F O R E V E R
TOGETHER.
I'll never forget you
never n e v e r..
i know my dreams
and sentiments will past
but your love and friendship
will last ... and i'll
i'll never forget you
no matter where i go
no matter what i do
i'll cherish these days
these days....with you
over the years..
amongst the tears..
i'll ..i'll never..
(slowly) never forget y..o..u
Baxters road was a joy
so many happy faces
so many races
dancing and laughing
t o g e t h e r
t o g e t h e r
Miami beach,paradise
Folkestone,so calm
Bathseba,Bath
all over blue.
the night at the hotel
with you...with you
i'm getting emotional now
(tears run down her cheeks)
so much love flow
between you and i
between you ...I
(Chorus) I'll never forget you..
never n e v e r...
""""""''''''''""""""'
But all good things must come to an end
so it's goodbye my bajan friends
I'm gonna miss you
but i'll never

the smiles and the miles
of your generosity
will be with me ....always
and now i'm in tears
(crying...sobbing..her eyes out)
i...i i'll nev..
ver for...forget
you.. so i'll just say.
BARBADOS
auf wiedersehen( goodbye in German)
(fades).
She leaves the stage crying.her long blond hair trailing behind
her.Everyone's watching her.Their thoughts are on the words and the
blond woman..she, a tourist, loving the country more than they do..what
was it about this rock,that made strangers stay on shore for
hours,painting pictures in their minds,always happy to see us
locals,taking pictures,drinking our local drinks and not getting enough
of our culture..what is it? ..well this blond woman is part
evidence.your country is not an island..your island is not a rock
surrounded by sea and sand..YOUR I-LAND IS YOUR HEART and it beats a
calypso beat..a freedom beat..a mellow beat.. a sound universal..a sound
which transpires beyond colour..beyond racism..beyond your shores..it's
a sound which mask itself in temper..in tempo.. in grief..in joy.. in
anger..and in smooth tones..just give a listen to JOHN KING's rendition
of CALYPSO..now that's a classic,not for critics to judge,but for the
listener to cherish..go on give a listen and when you have taken off
the sound..put on GABBY'S EMMERTON AND BRIDGETOWN MARKET..these songs
are examples of your life's connectabilty to your spirit..they speak of
your truths,no matter where in the world you live..these songs are your
heartbeats..these songs are you.
Brian feels her tremble within his arms.He looks around,slightly
embarass.A number of men envies him.he thinks of her infatuation with
him and his accent.now he knows it is deeper..the late night beach walk
had meant more to her than he thought possible. her sobbing sound makes
a sad hush. some women wipe their eyes..Ingrid regains her composure.
she looks around and a few faces are looking at her..her cheeks red and
the blue-sea eyes watering..she blinks away the last drop of water. it
falls between her lips..she tastes it as it rests on the tip of her
tongue. she is alright now.she had done what her heart had told her to
do..in 3 days she would be pressing against the cold of Europe..the
Austrian streets would be no comfort.she would be alone,but Brian and
Barbados would remain within her memory.They would make her warm at
night.
MC; That was a real tear jerker wasn't it.. had me going a bit,
there at de end... now back to de show.. who's next..let's see
someone name Nickki,accomapanied by her friend Scorpio on guitar.
Nickki grabs Scorpio'hands and leads him to the stage..they are both
nervous.they thank the MC.With Nickki giving hand instructions,Scorpio
relaxes and strums his guitar.the sound has a spanish feel to it..the DJ
spins a record with a techno beat..it sounds futuristic.
Nickki; this song is called LOVE BY MOONLIGHT...
SONG:
LOVE BY MOONLIGHT CC..1998..ARR.SR FRMS-Written by Dennis Young.
OHHHHH YEAH OHHHHHH YEAH
friends should not become lovers
no matter how hard love tries
to pull them together.
but are we fooling ourselves
just being friends
your laughter is within me
at the end of the phone
leaves me wanting you more
than just a HELLO.
love would be sweeter
you know..
CHORUS:
Take me away from my miseries
kiss away my troubles
just hold me..hold me
close
don't let me go...i..
.. i want you.. so much
with the stars looking down
on us..
we'll do what our hearts bekons
love in the night
love by moonlight
love by moonlight
people will talk about you and i
but their whispers wouldn't stop
our love,
let them talk if they want to
they'll just gossip until
the words run out..
we'll be too busy
getting it on
all night long
all night long.
love will be sweeter, you know
you know..
chorus:
take me away from my miseries
......>>>.
all
night long
love me tonight
love me
love me by moonlight
shhhshhhs...
slow it down
shhhshhhs
slow it down
love me now
love me tonight
through ribbons
of moonlight
all night....
(fades)
More claps and whistles from the appreciative audience.they love the
couple,who now held hands as they walked off the stage.their love was
declared for all the world too see..no matter the distance between
them,they'll a way to be together..so let them love.
a kiss is passed between them as they sit down.Scorpio brimming with
confidence..Nickki full of affection.
MC: wow, uh lot uh people in love nowadays..is this a great show or
what..mek me wannna holla...so on wid the show..no wait..before we go
the next act.lets give a hand to the men who made this all
possible..give it up to Patrick and Tony Hoyos,Mickey
(Dreadman)Hulsmiere..John Roette..Patrick Bovre..Arturo Tappin..Nicholas
Brancker..
___GIVE IT UP___-
((handclaps and shouting resounds around the room))
MC; settle down...settle down..next we have a change of pace ..we
have our first hip hop artist..his name is HARD TIMZ
A young man wearing the latest import brands from America slides his
way through the other patrons sitting in the same row of seats..he fists
the last person at the end..he's not nervous.he's got a flow going..he
walks a street walk,like a limp has impeded his normal way of
walking..he takes the mike,,acknowledges the crowd..he points to Patrick
Hoyos.he is making sure his talent is seen and heard..he is ready..
Hard Timz: yeah yeah..on de mike..not just light..yuh know what i
mean.this rap song is called...MAD WORLD....
RAP:: MAD WORLD..CC 1998 ..BESU-CASU..Li-written by Dennis Young.
(THE VOICE OF PETER FINCH FROM THE MOVIE **NETWORK** ECHOES ACROSS
THE ROOM)
<< I'M MAD AS HELL
AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
I'M MAD AS HELL
AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE >>
HARD TIMZ:
LISTEN UP..LISTEN UP
LEND ME YOUR EARS
LIKE SHAKESPEAR'S ROMANS.
YO! CEASAR.. BRUTUS IS
BEHIND HIS BACK.
SO LISTEN UP LISTEN UP.
It was a story breathing life into imagination
watching walls with encrytion
notes passed around like fashion
on parade
..sharing lemonade
with good frenz
or good fellas
with Robert De Niro
playing thug hero
another Nero burning Rome
wid mad instincts.
school daze like spike lee
filming
watching your krew playing
dead fuh real..
catching hell on the way down
bullets striking body
gone heavenly
Fat men posing in NAZ gear
on a big broadway
with hapless girls in short skirts.
SING:
THIS is the world we live in
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
can we find a solution
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
to our problems
or do we remain
A MAD WORLD.
::::;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
politician spit-tance
at election dance
promising housing in your ear
But,but not this year
and curruption and drugs
pile under de rugs
children become men/women
un time
placing guilt on parents
and using books as weapons
on Z R vans with
booming boxes
like live corpses
hanging through windows
like festering sores
sing::
.repeat...this is the world we live in
:::::::::::::::::::::::::;;
meaning nothing by saying
something
grasping at straws houses
with wolves at the door
Red Riding Hoodwink
grandmother wears mink
searching through rubble
like Barney and Fred
Flintstone up side your head
a voice like Edwin's
crossfyah.. no klu klux klan
in the land
but a class system
hell bent on perserving
a myth chevious
dillusion
of grandeur.
sing: this is the world...
.""""""""""""""'.
(CONTINUATION.NO DUPLICATION)
(TALK) my words got you restless
like duppies in cemetries
Egyptian mummies
..then listen up some more
__THIS IS HARDCORE__
Pages torn from history
scattered on the fields
of dreams
broken widows in housing schemes
graffitti abstract paintings
like Van Goth's ear
missing...
and police investigations
held in the Bajan Vietnam
shows. secrets held close to vest
like in a war chest .
(The young crowd goes wild..standing on chairs..making gun noises
--POWW POWW POWW ..hey up)
SING: my solution..
for a world with lesser evil
Bring back the community
stop all the calamity
bring the love
back into the homes
and neighbourhoods.
yes..yes peace in de ghettos
peace in the city and the mansions
..like a dream..Martin Luther King
fade away from life.
his legacy written
in red ink
so too, did the Kennedy brothers
Malcomn X and others.
... corruption/destruction
malutrition
bringing out skeletons
from cupboards and television
with C N N.. no end
to Africa's journey children
dying for the right to a life
taken for granted.
(pick it up selector..pick it up...pick up de beat--we are going home
now.. give me a sound like a train pulling out of a station)--yeah..got
it.
{{{>>\chug...chug...chugg>>.. chuggchuggchugg>>..}}}
The war is not over
don't mind the four leaf clover
hanging peace on a Berlin wall
now gone.. democratic
from Russia's erractic
behaviour..
more war
in Africa
and Bosnia is_real
Israel and Palastine
breaking promises like stale bread
on a table with negotiations
the leaders acting like dealers
playing cards with their citizens lives
and Ireland's fragile
like old cloth handed down by heirloom
peace in and BOOM
another bomb
castrating the young..
and..a gangster fear
on the streets of L.A
glocking bodies without care
and women no longer pride
challenging the bicycle ride
flirting..short skirting
== now tell me it ain't here++
It's like a rollercoaster,going up and down
life's a pun
sentences by a gun
and babies die innocently
so i suppose
i lost de solution
to the world's problems
and de end is near
as prophets say
we're living the last day
in a vacuum
about to be consume
by fire..
--peace out
The boy drops the microphone and walks away.he's got a strong
joint. the words cascades down the minds of the audience,so many
words in one rap song.the appreciation follows him all the way back to
his seat.the girls are clamoring for his autograph.he signs and sighs.he
looks up and see JOHN ROETT and MICKEY HULSMIER calling him over to sit
with them. He knows,now,he has arrive and will soon take off again.
MC: SERIOUUUUUSS ...SERIOUSSSSS...he's got it going on..now Puffy
Combs gotta come and see what's happening in de caribbean.we got some
talent here tonight.just imagine what's happening on the street corners
of dese islands.. i'm being signalled here.. yeah ..ok.. ok folks ..we
are taking a 15 minute break..refreshments are being served in the
back..go get it and be back soon...ok
Veronica is overwhelm.In her American world she only believed what
she saw on television.when they show JAMAICA they show shanty towns and
huricanes.Tonight was an eye opener.They was so much talent on display
here.she,too,wanted to sing. she search through her head for a
song,found it and went to see the D.J.she would be the forth performer
after intermission.The D.J. wanted to keep the love songs apart from
each other.She was happy.She looks at her watch. It reads 5.06pm.she
wanted Duawee to see her on stage.She wasn't hungry,but needed something
to wet her throat.Standing in the queue(line) to get the drink,she
notices Brian and Ingrid holding each other.They make a wonderful
couple.she,also sees some familar faces from the party.she reaches the
bar and ask for water and a lime.The barman only has water;he's out of
lime.
Veronica: well..den gimmuh some mauby.
(Veronica's first bajan words-spoken like a true Bajan-American)
She feels very relieve after the words fell from her lips.she takes the
mauby-drink and walks away.Her strides have a little bounce in them,like
the Caribbean girl she is becoming.She sees Duawee coming through the
side door.he's alone. not a Wendy in sight.He squeezes his way towards
her .hugs and smiles.
Duawee: what's going on here? there are so many cars outside. i had to
park some distance from here.is the video shoot over?
Veronica; yes,its over.it was done really well. a nice concept.we are
now in another room watching a talent show.Ingrid was on earlier. she
surprised everyone,including me.There she is, over there with Brian and
one of the men who put on the show.
Duawee;I see them...so many people in here..what's that you're
drinking.can i have some? i have to tell you something later(sips) oh
this is mauby..Veronica you are becoming a mauby junkie--(laughs)
Veronica: let's go sit near the front.
They walk to the seats where they are joined by Brian and Ingrid..a
few shake hands and the show is getting on the way again.
..SHOWTIME..
MC; we're back baby..nuff songs and poems to come..the next performer
