I always go checking around the internet to see if any TRINIS are making any WAVES with STEELBAND MUSIC and reaching the mainstream press. The other day I ran in to this article which let a skeleton out of the closet for the whole world to see. Although, being a CENTER-RIGHT American, I doubt that that many people read the HUFFINGTON POST.
