[@debbiemcleod8635]

Classic from a genius a true máster of the art of calypso

[@marlonbernard5409]

This is a modern day classic

[@juniormckie2462]

Poetry in kaiso. Themes and truths well laid out and a master of his art.

[@derickjones8341]

The greatest "double ententre" Calysonian of all time.He was the brother of Michael Anthony (a famous Trinbagonian Historian) .Gypsy and David Rudder were among the "backup singers".

[@sweetieviews]

Chalkie, you are a teacher!! Teach dem!! Oh excuse me, i mean Them, I in town too long (smile).

[@KathyLynnWard]

Brilliant! It would be wonderful if school children across the Caribbean could take this song and remake based on each island's history. Then share the results throughout the region.

[@henrymahoney8493]

The Band is GREAT 10 OUT 10

[@andreabowman7072]

Calypso Monarchs should write their own songs...this really should be a criterion for winning.

[@kitabwalli]

And rightly so from a PhD of history. Love to see my fellow historians really teach.

[@endersonmarfan9202]

WOW i remember all that he is saying< i was in town then too, but i was a kid, I am now 48 years old

[@jnbaraugustin2365]

Master piece from the head master

[@kennethlincoln6777]

Chalkie,I was in Town when tooloom had boom boom and sailor bands did not shelter from the rain ,and bata shoes were kings of the street.Iwas ln town,yes sir.Luv n Blessings.Barefoot son,Kenneth Lincoln 

[@kennethlincoln6777]

Chalkie,when chatyne would mashup a party,and ugly people didn't show their beauty until deep darkness had come upon the land.I was in Town!

[@kennethlincoln6777]

Chalkie,why haven't you let your million of fans know of your growing up on Quevedo cir rd.John John?! When would you tell them that the M tattoo encircled on your arm is for Milwaukee and not Marabunta?Our very colorful history must include its good,the bad and the ugly;we have always been a frank comment people. Please do the right thing!!! 

[@kennethlincoln6777]

Why must I be the one to enjoin your narrative to include what you have left out?I am not the famous public person that you are.Please do the right thing.After all it's you who choose to admonish all those who betray the public trust.Come on now,Mr Frank Comment, you are trusted to honestly reveal.A psycho Dr. usually find a common trait with the patient to identify with;it helps to build integrity.And a very good start is in personal revelations! In the future please do what the courageous ones have always done,an introspective house cleaning.aka crim/bad seed/barefoot son..

[@kennethlincoln6777]

Chalkie,while others challenged your scholarly position/opinions I don't have the skills of such. However,my facts,integrity, and most of all our youthful relationships qualifies me to say the things I have lovingly stated about you. History demands of others more than what it has gotten from its authors .And this is my way of joining the conversation. Kenneth Lincoln aka.Criminal/Crim/Bad seed/seed p.s. Loyal to the "Pound."
