The Mission (1968)
by panist and Vietnam veteran Dalton Narine
Global - All night long, her
flaxen hair shimmying like disco lights in the full moon, the
river showered its blessings on our predicament. In the pitch of
the blackout, the candle on the bamboo table flickered wanly;
the wick, ungraceful in the gluey wax, wasting away. I was
grateful that a compassionate moon loitered on the porch while
we, the matter and I, deliberated over an argument for spiritual
mediation. Sleep at a chess marathon. Sleep for both of us, the
matter and me, a Trini in Nam.
....The Saigon sun was already rinsing its face in the river when we tangled out of the sofa, bedraggled like leftover trees in a storm. Like rubber trees in the Michelin Plantation following a napalm run in the Iron Triangle. I nourish no suspicion towards occult lore (though it grew up around me on Laventille hill and Behind the Bridge, a small ways from Royal Theatre), so the bellwether might well have been a nod to the order of the day, but it would take more than an omen, I swear, for me to back out of the task at hand. Any man can be saved; It would be the sermon of the day.

Panorama Skills on the Home Front? NO, MEMORIAL DAY 2020
by panist and Vietnam veteran Dalton Narine
Global - ....Grandfather was
flown back to Venezuela, and later Trinidad, where they named
Gonzales, Belmont, after him. Rudolph Charles [“Charlo”]
insisted that I was born on the Laventille Hill. Little did he
know I was born in Gonzales, a ritual for all our families.
Charlo must have meant conceived, not born.
Anyway, in Vietnam, I was in the trenches, too — defensive
perimeters made up of wire, mines, machine guns, sandbags and
bunkers. I spoke to Grandfather one night when my company was
expecting the Viet Cong (VC) to roll in. These night devils
would disrupt your sleep in a minute. So I meditated with him as
if he were prayers sent by the Almighty. I felt relieved.
On the battlefield, we played a game of survival, young
uninformed Trini-American soldiers.

Vietnam Follies

“Saigon almost kicked me out, just before a CIA officer in civvies arrived at the hotel in the nick of time. He shouted to three Vietnamese soldiers to drop their weapons. As hotel guards, they, along with the hotel, had pulled the old black market trick on me and, had the CIA officer not bellowed at them, my plan was way ahead of his.”

Bobby Mohamed, Trini, par excellence
by Professor Theodore Lewis
Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. -
Bobby Mohamed (Mohammed) is no longer with us. He made an extraordinary
contribution here, that was distinct, and transcending. It was
in the realm of the qualitative. The soul. This man moved you.
You did not have to be a musician. He could twist and turn you
emotionally. Even competitors loved and revered him. Town bowed
to him, a South man. Renegades opened their yard to the band
when they needed a place to store their pans, having played mas
in town in the 60s. This is Renegades when they acted the part,
the home of Dr. Rat, Papito, and other Lawbreakers. Protecting

San Diego, California, USA -
For more than 20 years, music has filled the campuses of both
Southwest Middle and High schools — all started by music teacher
Keith Ballard who says this program is on the Sweetwater Union
High School District’s chopping block.
"They cut it like it was a disposable diaper," Ballard said.
Monday, he gathered students and their parents together for what
could be the final performance for the Island Steel Drum Band,
after Ballard was notified the program would not be returning
next year because of budget cuts and lack of interest.

Southwest’s Island Steel Drum Band to perform final concert after 22 years

San Diego, California, USA - The

Middle School and Southwest High School in South Bay San Diego
will perform together for the last time Monday [May 24]. After 22 years,
the steel drum band program is being cut, according to band
director Keith Ballard.
Ballard said in a press release that neither he nor students or
parents were spoken to about the decision to cut the program for
the upcoming school year.
“Mr. Ballard only found out when a tiny spreadsheet was emailed
to him last week with his classes for the 2021-22 school year,
and the steel drum band class did not appear,” the press release
read in part. “The music class was deemed expendable.”
