keysss.. Dev does a quick juck and he hears creaks..he tries another

one..he hears crack ..his back giving out.he wants to sit down,but de

women got him pin on,so he push forward on the two of them --ripe

plantain.. anyone for breakfast.

the music stopped. good thing too ..Dev and Mad Q couldn't really

take on the four women or could they?

MC:Mario i see you are in the singing business now..basketball and

singing too..boy yuh versatile..so come on..let de man pass nuh..cheese

de women don't like to geh a man room to get out..(laugh)



Mario walks on stage with an Allen Iverson hairstyle..plaits styled

into his initial..M L. he's ready to sing..a deep voice into the

microphone..sounding like Barry White.

Mario;the name of my song is DRIPPIN.i hope you like it.





a guitar and drum mix...a slow sound,then a violin and sax adds to

the mix.. a real nice beat.now he sounds like TEDDY PENDERGRASS.





SONG:

DRIPPIN... cc.1998 -rnmt--written by DENNIS YOUNG



Mario(RIO): ohh ohhh ohh ohhh...

my life's like a day break

with grey clouds in the morning..

and i miss you..baby

all day and all night.. miss you

i don't sleep in my bedroom anymore

the mistakes left on my pillow

when i called out her name

you cried and i lied

you left and i guess

you'll be gone

awhile...

so... now it's my turn

to cry.





people say.. men don't cry

but men shouldn't lie

because when a woman loves

she loves forever and ever

y..o..o...u

and...and i

been together some many times

your laughter stays in my head

with the sweet words you said..

i love you..

but it hurts when i hear them now

cause your love is gone

and i'm here..here crying

dying..for you







CHORUS: your picture i took from my wall

scattered your letters on the floor

read them aloud to myself

then wished. ..wished you well.

i'll took your pictures

and froze the time

we were together

in the water

and you'll be drippin

drippin..over me

drippin over you

is what i wanna

i wanna do.

i just wanna drip..

:::::::"""""'





the second hurt on the phone

you hung up ..after saying

saying ~ leave me alone~

baby .//what happen to forgive

i'm not asking you to forget

give me another chance

to be with you

do with you

all those times again

a g a i n...







you are free now..i see

saw you lauging at me

with your friends

but remember when love hurts

it does not end ...too soon

it makes fun of you

and have your laughing at yourself

cause deep down

deep down

you know where it's coming from.

it's the tears ---it's the lies

it's your love..it's your love

that has me crying..

dying for you..







CHORUS:

your picture i took from my wall

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

aa:::::::;;;









ending.... here tonight i plea

for you to come back

come back to me

stop the waters from flowing

down my face..

but, i wouldn't mind if they

were dripping..dripping

over you..



(repeats and fades...)



MARIO walks off the stage.He's confronted by a swarm of women,

wanting him for a date. he takes out his black book.it's full, until the

year 2001.

(oh boy,the life of a talented basketball player.)



MC;WOW...hey Mario if you decide to give up basketball,you can make it

as a singer and with your looks..who knows.. HOLLYWOOD baby. de man's

got it going on.. ok back to business..next performer. Someone name

Gypsy..now here's a surprise. she's singing a SPOUGE song..our

home-grown beat..come on sister.this music is before my time,but lately

the old school singers have been playing it..and i've heard the

stories..so let's see what you've got.



Gypsy runs to the stage.she's excited about the event.she's a star

today.

Gypsy;Before i begin i want you all to know that this music means so

much to me. i left Barbados at an early age,but my father had this

ritual on Saturday afternoons..SPOUGE TIME AGAIN.so i grew up with the

Draytons Two, De Opels,The B.R.C,The Outfit,Wendy Alleyne and The

Dynamics with Mike Grosevenor.etc...and don't let me forget my father's

favourite the great JACKIE OPEL..he loves CRY ME A RIVER.That song

gives me goose pimples whenever i hear it.

...Anyway i'm going to take you back,,,way way back to the beginning of

the sound and i'm going to bring you forward to the future...yes we're

planning a spouge revival..details to follow..the song i'm going to sing

is called SPOUGE MEMORIES..

*spouge down memory lane

__remembrance*





TALK) we used to do de strong man

and the hop up

to BLACKWATER GOLD

by the BRC

and do you remember

the toe to toe clash

at the globe

between Tony Garzettes

and Clarence Thompson

it was an event..

so now i've jogged

your memory

i just would like to say

PLEASE DON'T GO and

let the music die

because if you do

your life will

become

an UNCHAINED MELODY.

it'll be like

I STARTED A JOKE

and everyone's lauging

and dancing

to KAY LA LAY POM POM



..i gone.





*spouge never stopped

it's just waiting for

another block..









Silence in the room..Gyspy is disappointed,but as she passes

through the aisle.. they are reaching out and saying.. THANK YOU ..THANK

YOU. she's happier now and makes her way to her seat.she's glowing..the

woman has started something.the crowd stands up and sings G_ O GO..girl

i love you so.it's like a tribute to the spouge beat..



MC: WELL WELL. there sure were some good songs in those days. i didn't

recognise most of the names but the way she was moving,with her eyes

closed,there must have been some real groovy music back then.Can anyone

in here do the strong man and what's the other one de hop-up..i heard

the strong man was a cool dance. if a man didn't have any talk(sweet

words) for a woman..he could do this dance and ease in,as she smiles

back at him..and before the dance is over..he would have her address and

a date for 4:30 at the Empire or de Plaza..

i,also, heard back then the boys would take their girls to the cinema

to see the latest kung-fu film.After the show, they would come out

feeling real smart like they were Wang Yu or Tony Falcon.They would be

laughing until they got to the bus stand and then sadness would set

in,because a whole week will go by without faces ..without the smile and

the schupps(suck teeth) tease.the boy would have his bus fare in one

pocket and in the other pocket was left-back money for a pack of nuts

or an ice cream or a snow cone..after sharing the one snow cone,the bus

would come and take love away. there would be no kissing or hugging..the

girl would just hit the boy and say^^^~ see yuh later^^~.the boy would

watch his girl watching him, as the bus drives out of sight. he would go

back and tell the boys about the new kung fu moves and how he loves his

girl badd.. cause nobody does hit like she....

==The good old days..innocent childhood..loving communities..loving

parents..the fairs.. the excursions..the picnics..the sea baths..flying

kites..riding scooters{{illegal}}..hide and hoop..doctor and

patient..mother and father..cowboys and indians..radio stories_used

imagination. BARNABAS__((girl leh me bite yuh nuh))..cricket..roasting

breadfuits..roasting fish..sucking cane till your mouth hurts..getting

licks for being bad..reading comics..reading and writing between 12

noon and 3pm,to keep the brain active..trying to smoke and choak..your

first kiss ..your first love letter..your first dance with someone you

like..the breakup with the loveone..the cut-eyes and the pelting of

rocks at the new friend..the heartbreak when the loveone has to go

away;to a foreign land,never to see each other again.. if they do return

after two years overseas,they are speaking posh,and they don't love you

anymore.Then serious school work.. O"levels and/or A levels.. then into

the adult world,with a little beard,you go..a job..some money..some

chat..a lot of chosseling.. and dancing..THEN.... suddenly..it

stops..the whole childhood has change..you are a man and a 12 year old

is also a man and he talks back to you..he doesn't speak to his

parents..he's badd..he's lost..he's foolish...Down by the beach for a

sea bath and the crowd is rowdy..calling God's name in vain and you

tried to chartise..no success..they curse you..later on the music

changes and it's DANCEHALL /DUB..and mothers are fearful for their

lives..money gets stolen from the old buscuit tin and they admit the

theft and ask ^~AND WHU YUH WANN DO BOUT IT OLD MAN~

,tears would flood parents' eyes and one would die..then it gets

worse..DRUGS..CRICKET is dying..basketball is leaping and Micheal Jordan

their idol..IDLE on the street corner..crack in the hand,crack in the

mouth,crack in the head and a crick-crak noise..wide eye.. a voice in

the head and no ones talking --mind's unbalancing..life's tumbling into

mire..and then DE GUN..DE GUN..DE GUNS..and dub-talk tek over mannn and

false Rastas push de GUN-JA pon de vilage and rocks pillage..plunder and

police blunder, ignoring the trade in the country and de politicians

__(we wouldn't talk about them).. DE GUN DE GUN... DE GUNS

..dem shoot ..dem kill..dem show no mercy ..down pon yuh knees and yuh

begging.

--DE GUNZ INNA DE MUSIC..DE GUNZ INNA DE WAIST..DE GUNZ EVERYWHERE--



The Attorney General says..AMNESTY..but from the guts of the

villages.. a fear--and the reply___NOT UH GUN FROM UH BWOY__NOT UH GUN

FROM UH BWOY_

(ominous future_bad omen)-*de dev*peace.

The celebrities acknowledges the crowd.__""all these entertainers

MC:now that we have that out of the way,let's get on with show..the

next performer will be VERONICA HAYES from the USA.come on baby.let's

hear yuh..you'll be the first performer outside of the Caribbean.



Duawee looks at her in shock.she looks at him and smiles.Brian thinks

Ingrid and Veronica planned it.Ingrid thinks "yes go on girl..

...GIRL POWER".

Veronica rises from her seat.she questions whether she is doing the

right thing."suppose i forget the words".."suppose Duawee doesn't like

it".

she's reaches the stage.there's no turning back now. the D J winks at

her.the MC looks at her with a CHRIS TUCKER look_ WIDE-EYED.Her body

has the men starry eye.some are whistling and asking for the digits.she

ignores them.she's there to please her man only.

The M C tries to whisper something to her.she moves away and gives him

the move __TALK TO THE HAND__ or as they say in Barbados___ALL CIRCUITS

ARE BUSY__..the crowd likes her already.Poor Duawee sitting there in

suspense.





Veronica; thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with you

all and as my friend Ingrid said earlier...yes ..yes..this is

paradise.nothing comes close..you should all stand up now and give you

and your country a great round of appaulse.. yes get up ..get up and

applaud..

(CLAPSSS.....CLAPSSS....CLAPPSS///NUFF STAMPING ON THE FLOOR)

After they are settled again.she's ready to sing..she signals the d.j.

__A SLOW SONG--A JAM__





The drums beat is slow..parse..and trembling..a guitar picks in..a

squeaky sound..the bass pounds a hypnotic sound..like a waterfall

crashing at the end of its journey..it rises again to meet the drums and

they complement each other.the guitar is joined by the sax.the sax is

clicking like soft ska..then a violin runs across the sound..stopping

only when it reaches the base.its so different..in the crowd..Nicholas

Brancker,Arturo Tappin and Mickey Hulsmier are taking notes on paper and

nodding to each other..this was a groove.





Veronica: this song is special,like the person i'm singing it to..baby i

love you..it's called ..LOVE'S SO GOOD TO ME.





SONG:

LOVE'S SO GOOD TO ME.cc 1998_mym_.written by Dennis Young

(Veronica closes her eyes.her hands are held out with fingers spread

out..she grasps the air from the audience.the fingers now joined

together..her head held back--a sweet high pitched note runs through her

and escapes into the room.)



ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh eh yeh yeyeyeye

no one... no one holds me now

Veronica opens her eyes and she sees Duawee smiling from his seat.the

audience loves her and the words.she places the microphone on the stand

and walks away.she is hugged by Ingrid at the bottom of the

stairs.Duawee is walking slowly towards her..two hearts.she reaches out

for him.they kiss in the middle of the room. it gasps the air and the

audience.the kiss is strong.they walk back to their seats.hugs and

kisses mixed with laughter.she has completed her surprise.what surprise

could Duawee give her?

done in accapella so step up me brethens and voice it to the crowd.





EDWIN; hello ladies and gentlemen we are very happy to be here today

soing this tribute to wonderful man and friend. i really didn't know him

that well,but by listening to the song-UNCHAINED MELODY- it felt so

close to what i would call perfection in song.so we hastily got together

within the last few days to do something to remind us of him,so

humble,so warm and a decent human being. the name of the song is called

MISSING A FRIEND. during the song breaks the dj will add his voice from

some of his songs..so sit back and listen ..





TONY: Yes to add to EDWIN'S statement.i too feel a warmth radiating

around this room. i hope you enjoy.we do not have a name for this

group.you could call us..PAST/PRESENT-PERFECT. here goes>>.







SONG;

MISSING A FRIEND-CC.1998 -written by DENNIS YOUNG--





clarence and mike T:

boooo whoooo booo whooo

boo whoo

there once was a man

who had a voice

who sung his heart out

there once was a voice

who broke our hearts

when we fell in love

and with the sweet tones

of his words

we sought shelter

we sought shelter

from our pain

from our pain

... he would sing something like this









DJ MIX: (old song)

how do talk to an angel

what words do you say..yeh







tony and midge:

yeh...yeah...yeahhhhhh

yeah...yeahhhhhh

his voice from a little boy

to a man

strutting on street corners

immitating the master

but remaining true to himself

so gentle,humble

a wonderful person

no anger in his mouth

just sweet notes would come out

he was ..yes he was

an angel... and you have heard him sing this







DJ(MIX)

(old song);i started a joke

which started the whole world laughing

oh i couldn't see the joke was on me









tony,midge,clarence,mike:

\ we miss you friend

miss your laughter

and your face

we turn around one day

and you left us dazed

you'd gone away

and we.. we... miss you

oh it hurts so much

when missing is

missing a friend

missing a friend..







ricky:

father. you knew him better than i

i saw the tears in your eyes

from losing your brother

and your friend

we know the pain

it humbles us everyday

when it hurts so bad

down on our knees in prayer

in prayer.

it's never the same

when days are gone

and darkness remains

now can you hear the sound

the wind is carrying





(DJ MIX)

(old song)I'm hooked on a feeling

it send me reeling

oh oh oh

i'm so in love wid you







EDWIN:

The footprints of a man

shows the journey he took

during his life

then you look and wonder

what kind of man

what kind of man

but the question is

what kind of god

would share

and then take away

a friend

with a voice

which spent

which meant

these words

sing___it





(D J MIX)with lemuel waithe(falsetto)

and glen benjamin.(baritone)



(song) oh my love

my darling

i hunger for your touch

a long lonely time

and time goes by

so slowly

and time can mean so much









(the old boys and the youth voices together)





we miss you

...miss you...miss you

friend.

we hear your laughter

and see you face

we turn around one day

and you'd gone away

but..ut...uh...ut

your voice stayed...ay ay ay

with us

heaven's no longer missing an angel

but we are missing....missing a friend







(fades and ends)







they bow into the silence. this music without beats.just sweet

melodic tones crafting their way through the bodies and assembling at

the tip of tongue.the kaleidoscope of sounds gushing forward meeting the

ear and bending in the wind.the room is fixed unto the last words.is

this the music which is missing from the scene?Is this sound they are

all looking for? tears flow freely when Hubert Grant's family goes on

stage to thank the group.Yet another chapter is written in the history

of Barbados' music.It's there for all of us to read.







MC;(singing) how do you talk to an angel..what words do you say..ey

how do you sing like an angel,just listen to this music here.......

yes ...yes..thank you...PAST,PRESENT-PERFECT.it's nice to see

the coming together of the old school mixed with the new school to

produce a lesson in singing...that was really great...but we are running
