TO JEREMY DE BARRY: Mr. de Barry, this is a second notice, that you remove all content of the book,"Forty Years In The Steelbands, 1939-1979" by George "Sonny" Goddard, (ISBN 9781854650344). You continue to violate my mother's rights as the copyright owner. I verified with her that she never gave anyone, you included, permission to reproduce the book. This is what she wrote and is in the process of notarizing:
Tuesday January 21, 2020
DISCLAIMER NOTICE
This is to state that I, Mona Goddard of [REDACTED], owner of the copyright of my husband’s book entitled “Forty Years In The
Steelbands”, ISBN # 1 85465 034 3 Pb, have never given anyone verbally or in writing, the
permission to reproduce, in its entirety or any part thereof of the said book, albeit in hard
copy, soft copy or via the Internet.
Anyone making such proclamation, specifically those whom may have already infringed on
my copyright, is a total fabricator of the truth, clearly in violation of both local and
international copyright laws, and would have to provide documented and/or recorded
proof/evidence of such a claim.

END OF TEXT
She is currently working on retaining an attorney, and this has bothered her extensively. Your email reply suggested that "On Saturday 3rd January 1998 Mrs Mona Goddard gave this site, www.seetobago.com (now www.seetobago.org), her kind permission to publish on the internet her late husbands book...". Of course, you failed to provide any tangible proof of your claim, I can assure you that my mother is of sound mind, and as her Power of Attorney, I will pursue you to the fullest extent that the law will allow me to. I understand that your email reply aimed at soliciting an emotional response, however, your actions will be remedied by the appropriate, intellectual course of action. You have brought great damage to our family, and we will be seeking retribution. That, you can count on. I hope that you show your respect for our culture and its pioneers and their wives, by ending your stealing of others' works and claiming that they gave you the rights. But, let it be known; you are in violation of my mom's copyright to her deceased husband's work, and your are receiving this second notice to cease and desist this infringement, even if you choose to continue lying on my mother. That is your karma, not hers, nor my dad's, nor mine. Neither of us steal other people's works and then lie about it. Again, be governed accordingly. You may not know us, but we are very resourceful. You will be held to account for your actions.
Below is a copy of the original text I sent you:

EPISODE NOTES:
Pioneering steelpan jazz musician, Rudy "Two Left" Smith chats with Jazz in the Islands editor, Nigel A. Campbell, about his career. His beginnings in Trinidad, his sojourn into Europe to perform and ultimately record are discussed. Landmark albums like his Otinku with the Modern Sound Quintet are put into context as a steelpan jazz first. Now resident in Denmark, Smith's career spans more than 50 years playing and recording music on the steelpan, being among the few still alive who made recordings on the Cook Records label here in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. A bebop musician who uses the steelpan as his instrumental voice in the jazz conversation on the band stand, Smith continues making albums that still garner rave reviews from jazz critics and stand as benchmarks for a new generation to strive towards. A major influence on a number of new steelpan jazz musicians, Smith is modest in his recognition of the deserved accolades. Mon, 19 Feb 2018

CARNIVAL IS A RITUAL
They came from all over just as they did last year and for so many years before to this meeting place, to indulge in this Ritual that is Carnival. Their behavior was trance-like, as though possessed they gathered at Ports of departure, each one determined that nothing could stop them from worshiping their God, King Carnival. Their transit to the venues of worship was tense with anticipation as they were moved by the memory of last year's Ritual. Their arrival was met by fellow worshipers, greetings were exchanged, commitments made. The God must be served with more splendor and glory than was last year.
Food of the God was offered nightly at places called Calypso Tents;
The food:- the Music, the Rhythm, Calypso;
Food of the God:- The songs that bellowed from the hilltops, from ritualistic nooks and crannies called Pan Yards;
Food of the God:- The Fetes, the Panorama, exciting, captivating,
Food of the God:- Stimulating, appetizing, preparing for the Feasts of Feasts, God King Carnival.
Jourvert is the offering a million worshipers make;
Ah! the God is pleased because this offering is bigger and better than last year's.
God King Carnival opens his arms and embraces his subjects, "Let the Ritual Begin!"
Carnival is alive!
Oh! Oh! A! A! Mama Yo! It's Carnival!
Tambu Bamboo, It's Carnival!
Jab Malasie, It's Carnival!
A million hearts in majestic unison, Oh God Carnival!
A million faces in transfigurated countenances of ecstasy, Don't Stop the Carnival!
And so for forty-four hours two sister islands in the sun pulsate, vibrate;
Rhythmic voices chanting; Rhythmic bodies swaying, gyrating;
Shango drums, Steel Drums bellowing;
The children, the fathers and the mothers, jumping, shouting;
Color, every color mixing, blending;
Tempo hot, Laughter loud, so much love, so much loving;
Somebody shout:- PLAY MAS!!!
The eyes of night smile with romance.
The sound of music in the moonlight,
Sometimes soothing, sometimes exciting.
Vows made, some betrayed.
God King Carnival reigns.
The bowels of King Carnival is filled and so sleep calls, but the Ritual must be drained to the very end.
It's Las' Lap!
New acquaintances tightly embrace,
Music is softer, voices whisper,
Tired feet scuffle, over each other they stumble,
A guitar pan strums,
A lone tenor responds,
A base pan dies,
Sleep has taken its life,
A lover whispers "Oh God I'm tired",
Collapses, energy expired.
It's Midnight!.
And there is the sound of silence,
As God King Carnival sleeps.
THE RITUAL IS OVER.
Winston Andrews (a.k.a. Boots)
So have we in 2019 reached that dreaded 'glass ceiling' where bands that are outside that 'big 5' sacred circle are thrown under the bus? The message that this sends to every other band is that no matter how hard you try, no matter how proficiently, well-arranged and executed, no matter how 'top drawer' a performance, the answer will always be a resounding 'No'. Unless judges don't get overly swayed by popularity and/or fan enthusiasm, unless they dare to use objectivity and make independent choices, avoid pre-conceived ideas and focus on each actual performance, there's a good chance of losing some pools of absolute talent. Judges' decisions could have very far-reaching consequences, positive and negative. Judges should remember that they're watching the very best efforts that each band is bringing and their collective decisions can be literally a matter of life or death for some bands.
Judges, ALL the bands deserve your unbiased, independent and objective attention. The finals represent another opportunity to 'do the right thing'. Let's see that right thing done, please!
