There's a poem you wrote a long, long time ago...an the part that sticks in my mind is you coming off the elevator and saying "This is Cuba I presume?"....or something like that.....do you remember the one? I loved that poem when I heard it. [/qb]

I believe it is Country Bwoy. It was written when Enterprise Store opened and it had an elevator that people used to visit to ride.

Miss Lou what do you think of the direction the Jamaican folk culture is heading, and do you think it is being preserved for future generations to enjoy and pass on.?

Yuh always call him 'Pa' - dis evenin
When him comes seh 'Poo’.

Miss Lou, my mom is visiting from Brooklyn, NYC. She says to tell you hello.

She remembers that you use to come to Drum-Blair (the Manley Residence) years back and use to teach her and the other people there folk dance, among other things. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am pleased that they are people not only in Jamaica writing in the language. There is a great deal of Caribbean Literture growing out of our language.

Also, Miss Lou.....

What is your favourite dish?

Is there anyone in your family following in your footsteps?

Of all the countries you've visited and performed, which is your most memorable?
