That was nine days ago.

Tonight I am here browsing this site which I discovered twenty four hours ago, and feel utter respect, admiration, and thankfulness for this community effort initiated by Kurt Allen and Chalkie (Dr. Hollis Liverpool) and so valiantly supported by every calypsonian who turned up to demonstrate camaraderie with, and honor for, Striker.

Truly you made him feel like a rich man giving him the priceless gift of your caring demonstrated by the time you took to be in his company.

When minds come together for relief of another, all are better off. No wonder there was no long face among you at the funeral. You had been giving him bouquets long before his final curtain call.

I privately marvelled at the sense of community I felt in the Belgroves’ chapel as we said farewell to Striker (Percival Oblington), a friend, and family member. Now I understand.
