N.B. I do have a few International Hits. eg,-- "Curry Tabanca"

I have been on the circuit for 27 years.
I have been to Calypso Fiesta ( National Semi Finals ) about 15 times and to the Finals "Dimanche Gras" once ( 1994).

I'll pass this along to Ladislao, as between us, we're trying to complete the MSB dataBase of information on all the Old Boys.
Can I access any of your songs on the internet?
Also, I don't know whether you know anything about David de Castro, another MSB REALLY Old Boy (Left in 1953).
Now, Dave is an ol(er) calypsonian, who was a major pioneer for the art form in Toronto.
He now lives in Palm Harbour, Florida and he maintains a close contact with the calypso world.
He goes by the sobriquet "The Calypso Bandit".
I'm going to send this info to him as well
Here's the link to Dave's music: http://www.myspace.com/calypsobandit/music/songs?filter=featured
Best wishes.

Hello Nigel,
Nice hearing from you.
I am a bit busy this morning, however, I will keep in touch and update you on my career at a later date.
As for Neil and Noel Elias, we are not really related but are quite friendly as we all live in port-of-spain and they are all Trini's to d bone.
The e-mail address for Neil is : neil@dritestuff.com
The e-mail address for Noel is : normanindustries4@hotmail.com
As I said I will keep in touch and just for the record,
I started my Calypso career in 1984.
And, I am known as "De Mighty Trini", mostly called "TRINI" on the road, and I boast to be a "TRINI TO D GROIN".
Best Wishes,
Robert Elias,
De Mighty Trini ( to d groin ).

Hi Robert,
Long time no see, no hear, no talk.
How are things with you, and what are you doing with yourself these days.
I've not seen you for 51 years, so it's about time, I guess, that I re-establish contact.
I see that you've been singing some kaisos, under the name of "D Mighty Trini".
I'd heard previously that the name was rather, "Mighty Whitey" but obviously, I was wrong.
I see that Ladislao is trying to connect with Neil and Noel Elias, and I'm wondering whether you can put us in touch with them, please?
I have no idea whether you 3 might be related, but if so, all the better.
It would be nice to get their email addresses, at least, if they don't mind sharing that info with the rest of us.
I've been away from TT since 1986, working in Scotland, Western Europe, West Africa and Canada, and am now "settled" in Ontario.
"Retired", but not really, and still working on a contract with Baker Hughes in the Alberta oil sands.
Life has been good, and I enjoy the occasional chats with some of the MSB Old Boys.
Why not drop me a line sometime, and give me some news about yourself.
Best wishes,
Nigel

Dear Michael, (Welcome Home, its been a long time,)
Thank you for this email, it’s always so good to hear from a brother, you are older than me, I am 55 yrs old. Born in 1956.
I use to hang with Tim Healy, you might remember his older brother, short foot.
They are Americans, who grew up in Suriname.
Yes I was in the Barbados Jamboree and the one in Suriname also, we were the Combo.
I played guitar, my brother Hudson played keyboards, and Wayne Hackett played drums.
We were the band after Raymond MacCathney, Francis on drums and bullet head on bass, Milton played drums sometimes also.
I can not remember the other names,
I was about 12 or 13 yrs, one of the young pups, ha! ha!
I remember you, I think you wore glasses right?
I think it may have been your last year in the jail ha! ha!
Tenya was prefect at the time.
Bobo was headmaster.
I think you and Puggy, Garth Copeland, Ian Gomes are from the same time right.
I played french cornet for a little bit in the scout band, my brother played drums, we played, when the Queen came to Trinidad, do you remember that?
After that we started the band.
Anyhow you must know the Moffie brothers, you must know Attila,
Well don't worry I am sending this email to a few of the guys, don't be surprise after this email, how much you will find out, ha! ha!.
Michael I hope you have photos, if you do please send them all to Ladislao or Nigel.
I remember Joe Azar, he was the great scout, I was just a young buck.
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada since 1976.
My phone number is 902-483-3889 or 902-471-5503.
A Gilwell Scouter, need to hear more about this, it’s above my level ha! ha!.
Cutty will be reading this now.
Thank you so much for making, contact.
Wishing you and yours all the best for the year, your brother from the Castle or Jail ha!ha!
Cheers mi amigo,
Later Glen.

Hi Glen,
Have been receiving emails from you, but never remembered who you are?
I read an email that you were a drummer for the MSB boy-scouts, and that you were in Barbados Jamboree.
Interesting I was very much involved there.
Where are you?
Your tel. # or a skype #.
I reside in the USA.
I guess you knew that I was a Gilwell Scouter.
Hope to hear from you.
