Iam sure you are fully aware of the system in Barbados, and know what to expect, personally I think , a man of your talented ability, should like (manface) by now be at the pinnacle of your business, and not be looking ,or expecting finance from any other source ,
Barbados is an exceptional unequal society, where only one kind of people excel, even without actually trying,

this is an experience I suppose that would be familiar to also your Brother mike, another talented guy, who not only sung,but made his own guitars, his sister, norma(sarah vaughn)
stoute.a beautiful lump of vocal talent.both of them , i suppose suffered the consequences, of being born in such an unequaled society as Barbados,

dont expect too much from them, and you wont be dissapointed,
