Ah know this is NOT A CALYPSO FORUM -- but it is interesting to note that NO CALYPSO sung by a FOREIGNER has ever won PANORAMA ... and not even THE MIGHTY DUVONE could break that LOCAL GLASS CEILING

[Claude Gonzales]

Ah wonder if the JUDGES were aware of that fact and if it played into their JUDGING.

Ah wonder if DUVONE was aware of that and felt BIG ENOUGH to RISE ABOVE IT. He ended up book-ending his TWO WINS with two OUTER ISLAND CALYPSOS. Next year he better STAY WITHIN THE BORDERS for STARTERS.

I walk away from the PANORAMA thinking that if BOOGSIE could get a GOOD SONG and he is willing to BRING THE CALYPSO JAM in his arrangement if he cannot come back and BLOW THEM AWAY.
