Is this the Courtney Leiba from the Hugh Borde clan? Oh my, if so, this is George "Sony" Goddard's niece. You guys used to come by uncle "Sony" in Diamond Vale, Diego Martin, (Trinidad). Are you the scratcher man who fell into the water during performance and continued....awesome! I was extremely young thus, mesmerized by the skill of scratching from the water. How are you?
Hello Leiba,
My name is Terry Noel,i do not think you will remember me. I am one of 3 who used to come down from Arima in 1966/7 to play with Tripoli. The others Shaky Coryat. Winston Huggins, Carl Wentworth. I was in the Mounted Branch at the time. (6154). I moved to London on carnival tuesday 1973. Hugh Borde still owing me for playing on the road. (laugh) Like you I have been promoting the pan around the world since 1973. So far I have taken the pan to over 45 countries including North Korea. I came to the Australian Youth Festival in Melbourne 1983. You can visit our website on www.btmelodians.co.uk

Hello Courtney,
Happy Birthday and Season Greetings, how are everything with you, are you going to Trinidad for carnival? Well everything on this is OK and at present we are preparing for our annual Christmas concert on December 12th. Talk to you soon.
