Ingrid: This is one of the GREATEST CALYPSOS of ALL TIME in my books. The story line is SO WELL DEVELOPED you have to listen to 1000 CALYPSOS to find one as good. And of course the REVERSAL TECHNIQUE was nothing short of brilliant to devolve into the SMUT. Now when you put the LYRICAL CONCEPT on top of some of the most exciting SOCA JUMP/DANCE MUSIC EVER -- it does not get any better than that. And as I said before: I like my hooks driven my aggressive active verbs. Need I say more!!!
Hi Claude. STRANGER was better than BASSMAN. BASSMAN made more of an impact because it was the first time anyone other than Kitchener or Sparrow won the Road March. But structurally, conceptually and musically STRANGER to me was the best. Nevertheless your 3 are among the greatest ever.
ALL THE WAY TO ITALY has to b one of d if not d most sarcastic of Birdie's calypsoes and Claude you might b d only man who have it in your archives. U know Trini doh like criticism and dis is criticism BIG TIME.
One of my favourite songs. Now don't forget, you probably know this song from growing up in Trinidad but for me, "Tourist Ingrid", I only discovered it last week ....
