Anyone who wonders why we hold the calypsonians of yesteryear in such high esteem should check this one out.The late Lord Blakie was well respected both in the streets, where he was a well known tough guy ( the real thing, folks, not a fake"badjohn") and in the calypso tents where he was one of the best to ever perform in the art form.Blakie was a true showman, who had a great imagination and was an outstanding storyteller and lyricist.Here he has some fun with the Arabian language as he tells us what happened when he was invited to an Arabian Festival."De menu kill Abdullah de other day"
