Beautiful Antigua

God's country in God's region

Because of this piece, I will not apologize for being a proud offspring of a married couple, who are a son and a daughter of Antigua. This is creative! Dr. George Roberts has crafted calypsonian King Onyan’s work into a unique arrangement. He is not just talented, but gifted. Those “patriettes” especially the two sopranos showed how much they love being Antiguans just by singing the song so vehemently. The whole thing was attention-grabbing. Loved it all. Kudos to all of them for a job well done.

This was beautiful! Happy Independence doc!🇦🇬

Lovely arrangement Sir George. Individual mics would have brought out the words even more for those who are non nationals

[@robertsgmo1]

Actually some professional musicians have suggested that recording in a studio would have been desirable to better. Being out the inner workings of the arrangement. The plan had originally been to have a studio recording. Unfortunately we were unable to get it completed before Independence and so the decision to do it live was made at the very last moment, yesterday in fact.

Lovely rendition, wish some of the ladies had some amplification. Continue to enjoy your work Doc. Question: we’re you in 3 A at AGS in 1971? I am thinking you were my classmate

[@robertsgmo1]

u are on point re the recording. we had started recording tracks but ran out of time. so just did it live the day before I deepen and put it out but I still intend to do a more refined recording for posterity. I would have Ben a couple of years ahead of you at AGS. I did o levee in 1971 with Harold Lovell, Don Charles, Colin Murdoch, Lyle Browne etc.
