You work hard towards challenging obstacles faced by those of us whose "bread & butter" depends upon the evolution of the Music Biz. Good work by yourself, and Darron. Much support, "Indrani" http://www.myspace.com/indra_butterfly Hey Pete,

They do not realise how true that comment by the Chairman is because I know for a fact that a major sponsor is not putting up any money this year after the treatment they received last year I notice the NCF is already talking about reduced sponsorship.

Look like Gaberts will be back in competition soon, singing in Bacchanal Time Tent wid he "son" Kidsite. LOL If he is a "toothless dog" wid nuh office, power, influence etc, he might as well sing in de competion fuh he supper....cause based on what I reading...it can't be nuh conflict of interest!!! On a serious note, I agree with you Peter, it is no way our Cultural Ambassador, with eons of experience, should be shot down at a consulation and relegated to a "boy in the yard." It screams that obviously it is lip service and that this admistration is not serious about culture. You can't appoint a man and then he have no real role to play, a man as cultural as Gabby at that! We all know that Gabby has a really big contribution to make in this area....well well well. Maybe Gabby should have another "Conversation With Mr. Barrow." Ah boy….my sentiments exactly!!!

I did not need to ask them as I recognized the "appointment" for what it was early O'clock. I agree with honoring Gabby and hats off but where is the Authority that comes with being Ambassador? What is his purpose? Does he serve Barbados as an ambassador while our cultural heritage continues to suffer from an onslaught of penetrative forces hither to, alien to our culture? Will the Ambassador be the first to scream (or sing) That AINT we culture when elements damage Barbados' good name? Where can we go sit and discuss things cultural with the ambassador? Does he have an official office or do we butt up on Gabberts at shows? Finally Pete...why you start me up? Very Good Questions Pete.
