TANTIE TALK:                                               Back Chat

Well it have so much to talk 'bout me nah know where to start...so I go jes jump in anyhow. Is what going on wid Robbie and de Missus state of health? If I didn't know it couldn't be so I woulda swear nobody ent taking dem on at all...it ent now dat both of dem 'unwell', so is why it seem to be dat every time dey have a spell it surprising everybody? Dey doh have medical staff watching out for dem 25 hours a day, 8 days a week or what? I mean to say, whedder or not yuh like de man, he is we Head of State...so is why
it is we cyant seem to be appearing to be treating de First Family of T&T wid some measure of dignity? Why dey subjecting Pat to being 'displayed' at functions? We all understand what she going through, and it doh cut a pretty picture to see de shadow of her former vibrant self being positioned and guided like is some kinda surreal puppet show.

As for Robbie himself, I hope he could manage to complete de most important task at hand - swearing in de MPs and getting de Parliment rolling once more. Once dat out of de way, he need to take a well deserved break from all de hustle and bustle and spend more time wid his family...dey need him more than de rest of T&T right now. But then we have de problem of who go be de successor to Robbie? All kinda names being tossed about, but is to hope dat whoever dey choose could live up to de role. It ent have too many 'elder statesmen/women' who we could be proud to stand up and say dat is WE President...if yuh really try hard yuh might jes reach double figures, but I wouldn' hold mih breath while counting if I was you. De nex thing is a straight case of 'deja vue all over again'...Bas & Co went back in times as de people say to pull a page from de ole Eric wid de "I leaving, but if yuh really want mih ah go stay" ploy...oh gorm Bas, doh take on dem people
who pushing yuh forward, it ent dem who have de bad heart yuh know!

But is like dis is a whole health issue or what? ;-) When yuh want to talk about ill health though, yuh do have to look beyond pan in dis town... fus it in serious pain. De World Steelband in town, but yuh would swear it really taking place somewhere in Siberia for all de 'fuss' dat being made about it. Lat week Tantie did get 'pull up' for not having anything in de listings, but as I did have to say I cyant put in what I ent have! It 
would appear dat nobody in Pantrinbago or on de organising committee have email, because Tantie ent hear from dem yet...but hopefully dey will ketch on, most likely at se same time de ketch on to why all de foreigners doing better than de locals - dem be musicians, not pan beaters.

Is when we go learn dat Pan is we gift to de world...we done set it free and everybody in de world know where it come from. But, if it ent have no Trini virtuoso musicians among de best players of de instrument, is how we expect to be remembered whenever anybody talking bout pan in 50 years time?
