I think that this is one of the MOST SIGNIFICANT CALYPSOS of the MODERN ERA. I looked for it for years on YOUTUBE and only recently found it. I have posted it before. But now I am adapting it not to CALYPSO but to the NEW PAN TRINBAGO LEADERSHIP.

I doh have to wait UNTIL AH MAN DEAD to appreciate HIS CALYPSO GENIUS!!!
I celebrate LIFE and NOT DEATH!!!
CHALKDUST has a UNIQUE VISION and has been a MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR to the ART FORM. He might just be the GREATEST CALYPSONIAN EVER.
But THIS SONG was could well be his MOST SIGNIFICANT EVER!!! In my books at least!!!
One day I will tell AYESHA MOHAMMED a story about CHALKDUST appearing at a PERFORMANCE in SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA and me requesting him to SING THAT SONG!!!
But right now, based on where PAN PROGRESS has landed, I am as TEN TIMES more POLEMIC as CHALKDUST was in THIS SONG!!!
Ah have to add on thing here: MERCHANT is really HIGH ON MY LIST!!! He had such a PURE VISION of LIFE IN TRINIDAD!!!
WHEW!!! What AH CALYPSO!!!
Too much QUACKS and INVALIDS
