Does Pan Trinbago pays a license fee to COTT?

Simeon L. Sandiford  ||  Winsford Devine - I believe that Pan Trinbago pays a license fee to COTT and this revenue is divided proportionately among the songwriters/publishers. David Bereaux can verify.

NOBODY eh ANSWER ME and ALEXICA Lxc ADAMS as yet -- and it is really IRONIC that both she and I bounced from ISLAND to ISLAND in our TEENAGE YEARS ...

ALEXICA asked the question: If you NEVER PLAYED THE ORIGINAL SONG for almost FOUR MINUTES in the ARRANGEMENT -- how could the JUDGES give you POINTS for DEVELOPMENT of the ORIGINAL COMPOSITION.

This is one of my MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS in CALYPSO -- and I do HAVE MANY.

After my POLITICAL DEPRESSION today I decided to go and find ONE CALYPSO that could soothe my nerves ... guess what I came up with?

It was a choice between TWO SONGS because I find them both to be INTROSPECTIVE ....
