- 0:21Speaker 1: They were waiting to pelt me on that stick.
- 0:24Speaker 4: What was the reason they were waiting to pelt you on that stick?
- 0:25Speaker 2: Because I was white In their eyes.
- 0:27Speaker 1: I'm white, I was the color of my skin, so belong to black people.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Leave it alone.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Where is little skinny white girl?
- 0:32Speaker 1: She come in to sing, interfere with me.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Think the thing, the thing.
- 0:35Speaker 1: And you know, if they didn't do that, if they didn't try to stop me, I probably would have just done that here and say, well, I had a ball.
- 0:46Speaker 5: I experienced it.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I'll make a back to Melale Shakonian and weddings and funerals and whatever else.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I was doing nightclub thing, but because of what they did me I became defiant.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with the fact that I couldn't sing or the song was bad, and it's just because of the color of my skin.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So, boy, I had to take all these missiles and finish two songs and turn it into choreography and inside I was dying.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way I could tell you, didn't bother me it was horrible and I got out there and I saw 15,000 people that are rolling toilet paper up in the air on a breezy day.
- 1:20Speaker 1: So you have the target of your toilet paper waving away and then you have the suck up oranges that they suck up and dig in the gravel and felt it at your son.
- 1:30Speaker 1: You hold it, in seconds I'm going to grab it in my mouth.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And then a beer bottle started coming in and people were posies.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You know the posies.
- 1:36Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, I'm going to get them.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You're posy, they're holding it up in front, and it went next.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And then they had all these placards neatly printed from a print tree, same.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Then he's plumber, go back to South Africa, plumber, stay home and fix toilets.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Listen to me, it was the worst.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And then all these police come forward when the beer bottle started coming towards the end and so I was just so busy picking up missiles and laughing and smiling and turning it into choreography and trying to get to the end of the second song.
- 2:09Speaker 1: You know, looking brave, but it was something you wouldn't wish on a dog.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's a horrible thing.
- 2:16Speaker 1: They had to sweep up that stage for 20 minutes before the next artist was able to come back out.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You know, and but I refuse to give in to them because that's wrong.
- 2:25Speaker 1: That is wrong.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And even everyday life that, what happened to me, helped so many people, not in singing and in competition, but in everyday life, where people just don't want you there, or people want to keep you down, or they want to spit you out, or they want to insult you, or they want to destroy your.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Your climb to the top, in your office, in your neighborhood, at home, in anything that you're doing, there will be people that will try to mash you down, sometimes because of jealousy, sometimes because you're just doing something they can't do.

- 9:24Speaker 6: But I also want to say that in looking at the Interviews with Dini's Plumber, you know you seen interviews as recent as during COVID and you see now full of life, full of energy, very, very bubbly.
- 9:38Speaker 6: I was talking to Daddy about his experience with Dini's Plumber and the way he had put it was I never met her but he had met her a couple times.
- 9:46Speaker 6: He said when he get chance to talk to her she used to walk in rooms and talk to her like she know her long time.
- 9:52Speaker 6: Every interview I've seen with her against Luthor Rockers that was where the clip came from at the beginning of the podcast that was from TTT but every interview that I saw with her, whether it's situations where she was interviewed by Alvin Daniel Make sure and check out Calypso Showcase with Dini's Plumber, part 1 and 2, because she is the young girl coming on the scene and Alvin Daniel is the veteran.
- 10:13Speaker 6: So interviews where she is the veteran and Rockers is a young fellow coming on the scene or she sits with Nessa Preppy, whether she is the one who is the big star in your room or the person.
- 10:25Speaker 6: She had a kind of warmth and a welcoming way about her and that was the same thing that Daddy was saying who she was and how she represented.
- 10:32Speaker 6: I always talk her to go through fast.
- 10:34Speaker 6: So from the Express, dini's Plumber and I just saying that to say that even though she looks so healthy Just a couple years ago so we had a spare talk for her family this would have been a sudden thing for them.
- 10:47Speaker 6: You know how that is go.
- 10:48Speaker 6: We all faced people passing away before and it's hit a little harder when you see somebody.
- 10:53Speaker 6: He gets some news and then it's a decline and I mean within 2-3 years.
- 10:57Speaker 6: You just find out that Dini's Plumber no longer with us.
- 11:00Speaker 6: But I read it from the Express here.
- 11:02Speaker 6: It says life and time of Dini's Plumber.
- 11:06Speaker 6: From the Sunday Express Dini's Bernadette Curley in Plumber Was born into a middle class family in St James.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Wait, let me pause there for a second.
- 11:15Speaker 6: Let me just establish what St James means in this country.
- 11:19Speaker 6: Now let us not play her wrong.
- 11:22Speaker 6: Born into a middle class family in St James to Barbara and Dudley Bunton Plumber the latter a guitarist with the well-known folk choir La Petite Musical she attended Holy Name Prep and Holy Name Conventions in Bordeaux-Pierre, sang in the folk choir at Holy Name Conventions and won several music competitions, several youth music competitions.
- 11:40Speaker 6: She also participated in several television talent competitions.
- 11:44Speaker 6: So Dini's Plumber was no stranger to the stage.
- 11:47Speaker 6: From a young age she was already prepped and ready for the life on stage.
- 11:52Speaker 6: When you hear her talk about her early days as a performer, a big part of what Honda Craft attended the music festival and the schools and so on and she's a winner since then Was really performing in Shaconia Inn and more, according to her, is Ballard Country and Western and them kind of songs she's singing.
- 12:14Speaker 6: You know she's entertaining people in a hotel lobby.
- 12:17Speaker 6: You had to be very, very versatile to play that role and to hold that down.
- 12:22Speaker 6: But for those of you who might not have known, the first time Dini's Plumber went into Skinner Park and the story behind it is that In Shaconia Inn she used to have Bugsy Sharp on her card.
- 12:34Speaker 6: Bugsy Sharp was going on open and you know what I mean sing for her.
- 12:37Speaker 6: She said sing.
- 12:38Speaker 6: I'm not sure if it's sing or play Because I never really hear Bugsy sing, so I'm not sure if it's sing or play, but she said sing.
- 12:44Speaker 6: So that is something I wanted.
- 12:45Speaker 6: Whoever had the archives with Bugsy singing Open for Dini's Plumber, please send me that.
- 12:49Speaker 6: We had to see that, right.
- 12:51Speaker 6: But she said Bugsy was so open for her there and she said any show.
- 12:57Speaker 6: She had Bugsy, any show.
- 12:59Speaker 6: And one day he had done a song for Phase 2 and when he did this song he said Dini's Royal vocalized the song for her and she was hesitant, she wasn't sure she wasn't begging Calypso and them kind of thing.
- 13:09Speaker 6: But she's a performer, she's a singer and according to her, once Phase 2 Decided taking it and that's what they want and Bugsy make that decision, then why not?
- 13:17Speaker 6: This was 1986, right?
- 13:20Speaker 6: If you go back to Calypso Monarch 1986, you're going to see that some of the greatest songs Came out in 1986.
- 13:32Speaker 6: I have it done as the stiffest competition In a Calypso Monarch ever.
- 13:37Speaker 6: A young upcoming artist by the name of David Michael, one that with two little known songs, the Hammer and Bahia.
- 13:47Speaker 6: Right, this is what Skiddle Park looking like when you have scrunch and them coming down Staling and them fellas black.
- 13:54Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
- 13:55Speaker 6: David Reddler, keep in mind too, that this is two songs, right?
- 13:58Speaker 6: This is not the era of Calypso Monarch.
- 14:01Speaker 6: From 2007, manbiond with man use to sing one song.
- 14:03Speaker 6: You have to sing two songs and you had to sing the two songs In Skiddle Park.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Keep all this in mind, right?
- 14:07Speaker 6: So Dini's Plumber, take this song, or two songs, and go on to perform In Skiddle Park.
- 14:16Speaker 6: And, according to her, everybody know people Was waiting for in Skiddle Park, because Skiddle Park have an atmosphere where they're waiting for you.
- 14:22Speaker 6: They know these songs.
- 14:24Speaker 6: I always hear them talking about like where's CPL going?
- 14:26Speaker 6: And all they're talking about In West Indian cricket, guyana.
- 14:31Speaker 6: When you go to Guyana, you have a crowd of people who are intelligent about cricket and they know the cricket.
- 14:35Speaker 6: They say all the commentators talk about that, right.
- 14:38Speaker 6: But I want to say Skiddle Park is a place Historically has known Calypso.
- 14:41Speaker 6: Them know where you're coming to sing and them don't line you up already.
- 14:45Speaker 6: They have toilet paper.
- 14:47Speaker 6: They stick the whole roll of toilet paper On top of an umbrella and they just let go and it's flowing in.
- 14:53Speaker 6: She say was that Breezy Knight's toilet paper blowing and she is stopping.
- 14:57Speaker 6: I want to say this was inspiring for me to listen to, because imagine that.
- 15:01Speaker 6: Imagine going into arena.
- 15:03Speaker 6: You're not a custom too, you're a performer.
- 15:05Speaker 6: But you're going into one of the most respected, the hallowed groans of performances in Calypso In Trinidad and Tobago and as you walk all day it's toilet paper and she say the pelting behind her and I was glad that she said the ninth of you too Is because she's white as far as she can see.
- 15:20Speaker 6: They just sing the hall, then listen to her song, that there's not a she-carsing.
- 15:24Speaker 6: She's done a performer already.
- 15:26Speaker 6: She's winning since she's small.
- 15:28Speaker 6: She's a custom to the stage.
- 15:29Speaker 6: So then people decide that Calypso is for black people, or they come and interfere in me two things and they decide to give it to her.
- 15:38Speaker 6: What was most impressive about that Is not just the career, that she had To be one of the greatest Calypsoians of all time, but she continued and she's sing them two songs Now.
- 15:49Speaker 6: I want to tell you that that is something that could be inspiring for anybody.
- 15:53Speaker 6: As she said, many, many people took inspiration from it that, if you could, that is a moment where we could have no Denise Plummer.
- 16:01Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
- 16:01Speaker 6: You could take that moment from that first song, take that first piece of our Renskeino beer bottle and police, and you could decide that that is the end of that and you are not going back in that arena.
- 16:12Speaker 6: And she went on an interview to talk about the fact that when she went backstage and you know she's hurting and they're trying to talk to her and cheer her up and she's shell shocked, she said she never cried till she was home Because she didn't want the crowd, she didn't want to walk out there and let them know they get to her.
- 16:27Speaker 6: You know that is a kind of bad mind.
- 16:29Speaker 6: It's something all of us could take a slice of.
- 16:32Speaker 6: But when she was in the dressing room she said her fellow came in and tell her sister when from.
- 16:40Speaker 6: She said where from, or from Trinidad.
- 16:42Speaker 6: She said if you're from Jamaica, what kind of music are you going to sing?
- 16:45Speaker 6: She said well, reggae.
- 16:46Speaker 6: She said you're from here, so it's calypso.
- 16:48Speaker 6: You have to sing.
- 16:49Speaker 6: Don't let nobody stop you, don't let nobody keep going, don't let nobody make a leave.
- 16:54Speaker 6: Stay, stay, don't ever leave.
- 16:56Speaker 6: Come back and do the thing.
- 16:56Speaker 6: They're your culture, they're your state.
- 16:59Speaker 6: It's going to park as you're and she said.
- 17:00Speaker 6: When the person walk off, she said she feels so good in the moment.
- 17:03Speaker 6: When the person walk off, the heart crass turn man, she said.
- 17:06Speaker 6: And when she asked, well, who is he?
- 17:10Speaker 6: He's a great black, stalin.
- 17:12Speaker 6: And you know, life is a life of a poetic way.
- 17:15Speaker 6: A life of a poetic way, stalin with her through her entire career, very, very good friends, confidence, supporting one another and through all the upcoming.
- 17:25Speaker 6: I mean Stalin would be well established by 86 and they stay friends and everything over the years.
- 17:32Speaker 6: And now I mean they find their way to meet up together.
- 17:35Speaker 6: They find their way to meet up together again.
- 17:37Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
- 17:38Speaker 6: So when you look at that opening and then by the following year she have a song I think it's two years after 88 she have a song like woman is boss that completely dominate the space.
- 17:49Speaker 6: But I want to, I want to before again All the history and everything behind her Right.
- 17:53Speaker 6: As I tell you, there is a lot of music to play and one of the reasons why the music list is so long Right Is because I think Denise Plummer shaped Anybody who is between the age.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Let me start to date people now, right, if anytime you're between 50 Are going down, right.
- 18:12Speaker 6: So if you're above 50, you well know Denise, but you're fattening.
- 18:14Speaker 6: To Denise Plummer, let me go as far as 50, let me say 40, 40, little bit like myself.
- 18:19Speaker 6: Right, anytime you're between 35 and 45 kind of age, denise Plummer shaped a lot of all youth and upbringing through her music.
- 18:28Speaker 6: Right, because there was a.
- 18:34Speaker 6: We grew up in eras, particularly the ones who are closer to 45.
- 18:40Speaker 6: Right, we grew up in a time where it had one TV station and it barely had more than one radio station and Dennis Plummer had some songs and things in some heavy rotation in them times that, apart from a feeling like people might remember, is how who's singing it.
- 18:54Speaker 6: But I guarantee you, right, I'm gonna play a few songs here.
- 18:59Speaker 6: Fail that Make me realize how much he needs to play.
- 19:02Speaker 6: My shape, my youth, that I feel go bring back some memories.

- 54:25Speaker 4: This man, martin Luther King senior son, a gentleman of great capability who never knew the meaning of the word enemy, but a man who devoted his life to fight that all American people could get civil rights, his words must be continued, although he is dead.
- 55:04Speaker 4: So he will over get the great things that Martin said Leave your guns at home, don't walk with weapons.
- 55:22Speaker 4: Violence cannot solve the situation, don't the whites do know, believe or hardly believe, want them as all friends and not as enemies.
- 55:40Speaker 4: That day evenly went out on a limb when a reporter put this question to him.
- 55:54Speaker 4: One of black Americans gave civil rights.
- 56:01Speaker 4: This was his answer, to my delight.
- 56:29Speaker 6: So you know somebody who could say their words to you anytime at this time and it will feel so good at any point in your career to do anything that could help them in any way.
- 56:38Speaker 6: The importance of that song is not just that relationship between her and Stalin.
- 56:43Speaker 6: It's the fact that your career started off by going to Nong's Kina Park, where people pelt you, and you had a performance, graveling your mouth from orange skin, where people rub on it wrong, and you never leave this stage.
- 56:54Speaker 6: You get pelted because you were white.
- 57:01Speaker 6: You end up singing a song, or remaking a song, in dedication to Martin Luther King, who was there standing up for the rights of black people.
- 57:13Speaker 6: Life is a hell of a story.
- 57:16Speaker 6: Life is a full circle experience.
- 57:19Speaker 6: You don't watch nobody.
- 57:20Speaker 6: You don't watch your color, nobody's skin you don't watch nobody.
- 57:23Speaker 6: Listen to more contentious things these days because the color of the skin starts to change.
- 57:28Speaker 6: Everybody getting wrong, right, everybody getting a little wrong, but we start to find new ways to divide who is a woman and who is a woman.
- 57:36Speaker 6: Listen, this problem leave us with something here that tells us that we all just have a human experience.
- 57:43Speaker 6: We just all are new to trying to figure it out to trying to love and take care of our families and find things that we enjoy, and we all try to leave a mark on these streets when we leave, which denies death.
- 57:56Speaker 6: Important to know.
- 57:58Speaker 6: But I know Alevex because his songs slow and it has some people when they're shooting here they don't feel as if it's a fet.
- 58:03Speaker 6: Let me tell you something too it has some other people feel as a DJ.
- 58:07Speaker 6: I mean, he's not no DJ, I just like Calypso and Calypso, but I like to talk more than I like to sing and play music.
- 58:13Speaker 6: But seeing that the thing is about the culture and important milestones like these force us to reminisce, look back, pay respect, whatever it is you want to call it.
- 58:25Speaker 6: We must do that right.
- 58:27Speaker 6: So it's not much to talk about.
- 58:29Speaker 6: As I tell you, it's just songs.
- 58:32Speaker 6: The lesser songs, from now till the end, still have more songs than I ever played in any episode.
- 58:40Speaker 6: You won't come back how much song I played already, right, and from now till the end, I still have more than I ever played.
- 58:47Speaker 6: I want to go into a segmental song because, to be a Calypsoan, there's plenty Calypso about Calypsoan.
- 58:53Speaker 6: Right, you must have political commentary, you must have this, you must have that.
- 58:56Speaker 6: You go into some of the roads, that denies you and there's no pun intended.
- 59:03Speaker 6: One of them roads is a road, a road, a road, a song, road tune for the road.
- 59:08Speaker 6: Right, I want to get a few here and see where it is.
- 59:11Speaker 6: You remember I want to go into a segmental song because to be a Calypsoan, there's plenty Calypsoan right Opportunity.

- 59:26Speaker 6: But she going and listen didn't teach me a lot in any research for this episode.
- 59:30Speaker 6: That was a common theme in a lot of her Interviews that she was frightened or she was getting Descent or getting boo again pelt.
- 59:39Speaker 6: But one thing is she keep going, regardless of what the situation was, all the way down to the End.
- 59:44Speaker 6: You know she keep fighting and she keep going because that announcement that the news possibly was the second Announcement that she possibly remember that there are false alarm somewhere in July, which shows me that she's still down to the last day, she's still a fighter and somebody who gonna keep going regardless.
- 1:00:00Speaker 6: And I I Saw that performance in front of 90,000 people and I could not believe that she was frightened or nervous or anything.
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: Backstage she said, boy, I going out there to play like if I custom performance in front of crowds this size and she went out there and take control of them people.
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: They will find a clip of this in the Alvin Daniel Calypso showcase interview with Denise plumber, part 2, but this is the song that they show Denise plumber singing and had them 90,000 people eating out of her hand, michael.

- 1:27:34Speaker 4: And there I was in my glee, wallowing deep in a pickpocket full of life but so empty, on my way to a fiery end.
- 1:27:49Speaker 4: Someone told me about a savior who said he loves me and he cares In times of stormy, is my shelter, so in his arms you'll find me there, you'll see, I can't live life without him.
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: He is my king of kings, he's the reason I still live in.
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: I can't live him.
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: I'm living on them and forsaken my dread.
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: And I live in for God, man, I live in for God, I go down.
- 1:28:39Speaker 4: There are so few who made it through and come from the darkness of this world.
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: But I saw the light, I found the truth.
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: I have more than silver, more than gold.
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: I moved my life over to Jesus, the greatest decision I made.
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: Boy, I recommend you try him.
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: Jesus is the best upgrade he came from.
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: And I don't know, boss rose up just like a boss.
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: When you see me smiling, he's the boss.
- 1:29:18Speaker 4: I can't live him.
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: I can't live him.
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: Never condemn or forsaken my dread.
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: I can't live him.
- 1:29:29Speaker 4: I can't live him For God, man, I live in for God, I go down.
- 1:29:36Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: The rock is higher than I.
- 1:29:40Speaker 4: Jehovah hides me.
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:29:43Speaker 4: Go tell my enemies I am under the rock.
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: Jehovah hides me.
- 1:29:50Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:29:52Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:29:54Speaker 4: The rock is higher than I.
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: Jehovah hides me.
- 1:29:58Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:30:00Speaker 4: Go tell my enemies I am under the rock.
- 1:30:04Speaker 4: Jehovah hides me.
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: I am under the rock.
- 1:30:21Speaker 6: From land for me to righteousness, from hell bound to holiness, from sin to salvation.
- 1:30:28Speaker 6: Kingdom.
- 1:30:29Speaker 6: Destination Jesus he are well, jesus, jesus, jesus, jehovah hides me.
- 1:30:51Speaker 6: Now I reach any parts of the episode.
- 1:31:17Speaker 6: This is selfish.
- 1:31:18Speaker 6: Part of the episode, right, I play all kinds of songs.
- 1:31:21Speaker 6: I went through the years.
- 1:31:22Speaker 6: I give all kinds of stories.
- 1:31:24Speaker 6: Now it's time for me to play a couple of my favorites.
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: I don't know if it's everybody favorites, but it's certainly a couple of my favorite songs from Dini Esplama.
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: Could I be so selfish as to play this?
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: And this is a song that I remember when this song was released and maybe I didn't appreciate this song at the time enough.
- 1:31:44Speaker 6: I guess youthful exuberance and just living life in studying nothing right.
- 1:31:48Speaker 6: So I never sit down and listen to the lyrics of this song properly until going through songs for this episode, and this brings back some memories and I think a part of me fall in love with this song.
- 1:32:00Speaker 6: Well, you're supposed to remember this, right.
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: There is a nature vibe that can unite the tribe and start the feeling.
- 1:32:37Speaker 4: There is a ritual.
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: We call it cannibal.
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: Come feel the feeling like a first in man, searching through the sun.
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: For is this?
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: We need a sanctuary from this insanity.
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: We need catharsis, your scent, holy water, pure cleansing water.
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: Please, please, clean my soul.
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: Dance my children dance, dance my children dance and let the suns embrace all your favorite.

- 1:34:07Speaker 4: Then kick up your leg and and on your head and and on your waist.
- 1:34:11Speaker 4: What is this?
- 1:34:15Speaker 4: It's all catharsis.

- 1:35:43Speaker 4: Like Moses by Erexy, you're water-parted, you're water-parted, you're water-parted, you're current, going strong, strong.
- 1:35:53Speaker 4: You're water-moving, you're water-moving, you're water-moving.
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: Play along by Erexy.
- 1:36:02Speaker 4: You're water-parted, you're water-parted, you're water-parted.
- 1:36:34Speaker 6: I start off the episode with her talking about Skinner Park and all the doha, right?
- 1:36:39Speaker 6: I want to only listen to one of my favorite ones and I'm taking it live from Skinner Park, right?
- 1:36:44Speaker 6: So excuse the quality of some of these songs.
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: Right, you had to take it all, you get, right.
- 1:36:48Speaker 6: But this again going down as one of my favorites.
- 1:36:50Speaker 6: And what makes this nice for me is to see how you could come back to that staging Skinner Park.
- 1:36:56Speaker 6: Let me be honest, most of you wasn't going back there, right?
- 1:36:59Speaker 6: If you'd be honest, after that kind of baptism, I wasn't even finishing the second song.
- 1:37:04Speaker 6: But to go back there and have a stage command and presence like this, after what them people do at the on there and still show them so much love, you had to like that.
- 1:37:14Speaker 6: The name of this song is Tabanko, directly from Skinner Park.
- 1:37:17Speaker 6: Listen to this.
- 1:37:18Speaker 6: Honesty.
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: Honesty is the best policy.
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: I want to only hear this song.
- 1:38:27Speaker 6: Good, right, sorry.
- 1:38:28Speaker 6: Yeah, you hear the part about Skinner Park there, right?
- 1:38:30Speaker 6: So I find our next version here that a little cleaner, just when you hear the first part about Skinner Park.
- 1:38:35Speaker 6: This version a little cleaner when you hear the lyrics and feel the vibe of the tune.
- 1:38:40Speaker 6: Right, sorry about that, but here it is.
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: In this land, always spreading propaganda.
- 1:39:10Speaker 4: How old am I?
- 1:39:12Speaker 4: Man in this land, always preaching as a slander?

- 1:43:40Speaker 6: That's already.
- 1:43:40Speaker 6: Skinnapur pollution wasn't bad.
- 1:43:43Speaker 4: It was so scratchy, but you could imagine the song down in Skinnapur man in this land Like to play dictator, but underneath it is so Break, break, break man in this land Emerging as woman hater, behaven like they're still in a cage Spot.
- 1:44:06Speaker 4: Man should pull his self On the temporary shell If you want something to lash.

- 1:44:37Speaker 4: They were killed.
- 1:44:38Speaker 4: Ta-bang-tah, they would shoot their own commander In the prime minister house.
- 1:44:45Speaker 4: Ta-bang-tah, using police revolver To settle every grouse.
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: Dola, dola, they are making joke at all.
- 1:44:56Speaker 4: They will take another man, for man could take another man.
- 1:45:00Speaker 4: Ta-bang-tah, ta-bang-tah, ta-bang-tah, ta-bang-tah.
- 1:45:10Speaker 6: You could listen when you get a chance On your own thing Home way to take the annoyance, scratchiness, go and take in that performance.
- 1:45:19Speaker 6: We got that song at Skinner Park rocking.
- 1:45:21Speaker 6: She said man could take another man but they can't take one or two.
- 1:45:25Speaker 6: They can't say that.
- 1:45:27Speaker 6: But destruction in Skinner Park is mayhem To come back full circle from when they get born.
- 1:45:32Speaker 6: Going commander stage in that way.
- 1:45:34Speaker 6: It is amazing to me that was in the year 2000.
- 1:45:39Speaker 6: Funny enough, the men who run 1, 2, 3 in their competition, the men who run 1, 2, 3 in their competition, the men who run 1, 2, 3 in their competition.
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: Let me tell you the three people who beat any competition Shadow, the original DeFusto and singing Sandra Funny how things is going.
- 1:45:56Speaker 6: Then he's go up there and compete with them again.
- 1:45:58Speaker 6: You had them this time.
- 1:46:00Speaker 6: You're going to meet them.
- 1:46:02Speaker 6: A bunch of people here going to meet them.
- 1:46:06Speaker 6: But I want to get to the year 2001.
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: Which is coming off of the Tabanka song.
- 1:46:12Speaker 6: She came back in 2001.
- 1:46:14Speaker 6: And that was the year she won her first Calypso Monor and keep in mind that she will win 6 times Calypso Queen before that.
- 1:46:22Speaker 6: She's been performing several accolades.
- 1:46:24Speaker 6: At this point she's well established in her career and she is who she is.
- 1:46:29Speaker 6: But before I get into the two songs that she sings to win that competition, I wanted to go to a tribute to her that I feel was beautifully written by somebody who in the industry, who we all know and who knew her personally, and it really was a beautiful tribute.
- 1:46:42Speaker 6: So before I jump into them two songs, I want to leave this with you from Carl Beaver Henderson.
- 1:46:47Speaker 6: Or read this from Carl Beaver Henderson.
- 1:46:49Speaker 6: He said with a post of Denise Plummer on November 1954 to August 2023.
- 1:46:55Speaker 6: He said this has been one of the longest career journeys of mine with an artist, denise Plummer.
- 1:47:02Speaker 6: We shared so much history.
- 1:47:03Speaker 6: What a lot of folks don't know is, before starting your stints at Chaconia Inn, you hone your craft across your road from Chaconia in a little known club called the Baron.
- 1:47:14Speaker 6: I produce a first batch of studio recordings, including your very first album and your first number one hit You're what I've waited for, which I wrote for you.
- 1:47:24Speaker 6: That single stayed on the charts at number one for 13 weeks.
- 1:47:27Speaker 6: We won almost every competition that year or every award that year.
- 1:47:32Speaker 6: Fast forward to producing the album Carnival Killer.
- 1:47:35Speaker 6: What is this?
- 1:47:35Speaker 6: On the lockdown of state emergency at Ottingmire's studio and finishing up in New York.
- 1:47:41Speaker 6: I was on stage as a musical director in Skinner Park when you got your baptism of fire and can see it in my mind in slow motion as if it was yesterday.
- 1:47:51Speaker 6: No one fully understood the emotions in that moment, except your husband, patrick, and myself.
- 1:47:55Speaker 6: I still marvel at the level of professionalism that he displayed.
- 1:47:59Speaker 6: Immediately after you were destined for greatness.
- 1:48:02Speaker 6: We had so many live performances over the years, so many fets and concerts, that I couldn't count.
- 1:48:07Speaker 6: I produced your last major, iconic hit, nah Leavin and that was a funny story by itself which took you to winning the Calypso Monarch in 2001.
- 1:48:20Speaker 6: I realized that I am almost the goalpost in the musical career whilst having so many hits unsuccessful otherwise, so much time spent in your home with your parents and your family.
- 1:48:29Speaker 6: So many memories are spoke to you a little over a month ago and we said our farewell without actually saying so.
- 1:48:35Speaker 6: My sister from another mother, fly high and proud.
- 1:48:39Speaker 6: You have served well.
- 1:48:40Speaker 6: Your testament speaks for itself Love always.
- 1:48:43Speaker 6: That's from Carl Beaver Hendessey, one of the greatest producers in Calypso and Soka music.
- 1:48:49Speaker 6: So I just want to read that and it speaks to you when you look at her funeral, which passed last week.
- 1:48:57Speaker 6: Her funeral told her story of celebration of life, somebody who lived a full life, somebody who understood life, because it means somebody born in Soxham, grop on carpet or born in church and lived their whole life right.
- 1:49:12Speaker 6: She lived to give her testimony that anybody could relate to and one of the things that stood out for Denise was not just the respect for the culture, the respect for the country and so on, but she was a real family person.
- 1:49:26Speaker 6: When you hear her son's talk, it was very moving.
- 1:49:29Speaker 6: And what was her?
- 1:49:30Speaker 6: I would say not a sad funeral, it wasn't queens all.
- 1:49:33Speaker 6: It wasn't a very sad, you know them, saddy, kind of.
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: It wasn't like that.
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: But you could still hear the sons as people who know her all their life and she know all theirs.
- 1:49:42Speaker 6: You could hear them cracking up a little bit.
- 1:49:45Speaker 6: You know you hear the voice cracking and stuff and you could see that she was an integral part of her family, a real family person.
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: One of the interviewers was asking her well, how was it for your husband knowing that you are a touring artist and you're all over the world doing these shows in a space that dominated by men?
- 1:50:00Speaker 6: And she was like listen, my husband meet me, so you're very supportive, you know what kind of woman I am.
- 1:50:05Speaker 6: And he put his faith in her and they had a beautiful relationship.
- 1:50:10Speaker 6: They had their children.
- 1:50:10Speaker 6: They had a strong family life and a family bond.
- 1:50:15Speaker 6: In addition to family, one of the things that you would hear throughout Tini's career is the fact that she really, really respected those who came before her.
- 1:50:24Speaker 6: She respected the art form.
- 1:50:26Speaker 6: She respected the starlings.
- 1:50:27Speaker 6: You hear her talk about Tigris and several other women that were the influencer early career Calypso Rose and so on.
- 1:50:34Speaker 6: She talks about them a lot in interviews and you could see that that respect is genuinely there and she talks about it every time she gets a chance to talk to a young artist.
- 1:50:45Speaker 6: She says she don't force herself on people, but any young artist coming to her that wants advice, she always there to give them the advice or to tell them what she's going through.
- 1:50:58Speaker 6: Right, and one of the things that she said was we must archive the journey and the process of our artists and our people so that anybody who come long after we gone can get a blueprint, could get an idea, could see what happened to somebody else, could relate, could prepare themselves better.
- 1:51:18Speaker 6: And there's my little effort to do just that, to make sure that we archive these things properly and the icons and the giants that we have in our culture mustn't just walk away and die.
- 1:51:30Speaker 6: Nobody never hear about them again.
- 1:51:32Speaker 6: So it's my honor and pleasure to do an episode like this where I can get to talk much about it.
- 1:51:38Speaker 6: It's not much to say.
- 1:51:39Speaker 6: It's not much to say.
- 1:51:40Speaker 6: Her music set the tone for who she was going to be all the way down to the end, and I think it also set her tone and a blueprint that all of us could benefit from, learn from and help ourselves advance.
- 1:51:55Speaker 6: That Calypso Monarch in 2001,.
- 1:51:57Speaker 6: Funny enough, this song she sang in Calypso Monarch was a song called Heroes, and the point of that song is that we don't treat our heroes well.
- 1:52:08Speaker 6: I started this episode by saying Deniz Plummer is underrated.
- 1:52:11Speaker 6: It's a rough thing to say, but when people talk about the greats and the icons and the giants, you tend to find that the Deniz Plummer name don't come up.
- 1:52:19Speaker 6: But I want you to go and listen, watch her discography, listen to her songs, listen to the way she put things together, listen to the range of topics.
- 1:52:28Speaker 6: There's no way that we can't.
- 1:52:31Speaker 6: There's no metric for the greats of our culture that Deniz Plummer doesn't meet and this is one of the best songs I ever hear and if she feeling like this about those who are gone and I feeling like this about her, we have a responsibility to make sure that we do continue this cycle where people gone and they're underappreciated and so on.
- 1:52:53Speaker 6: But the name of this song is Heroes Bad, bad, bad Song.
- 1:52:57Speaker 5: Deniz Plummer stays aside with Heroes.
- 1:53:27Speaker 4: Heroes when they dead and they gone.
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: We just shared the week of the high chairs.
- 1:53:33Speaker 4: It's only then we remember all the things they did through the years.

- 1:55:06Speaker 4: So would we see the beauty suffer the same fate?
- 1:55:11Speaker 4: Some people still call him a Pugetian, saying he's not true Trinity begonian for his truth.
- 1:55:22Speaker 4: Would we wait until it's too late?
- 1:55:25Speaker 4: When we heroes dead and they're gone, we then start on the PR.

- 1:57:06Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, he carries national flag, both my T-Shadow and Black Stalin, for, yes, they seem like they're waving.
- 1:57:19Speaker 4: Yet to come and go, customs does dig up their bags.
- 1:57:25Speaker 4: This is a real nasty habit.
- 1:57:30Speaker 4: You see, we practice in TNT the same thing we did to Butler, clr, james and Superlani we bone to perish when we don't cherish the heroes of Anishin and prove that a king or queen could be recognized in this land.
- 1:57:53Speaker 4: Calypso, rosy, sorry, yes, we say so.
- 1:58:00Speaker 4: Sorry that you're alive and there is no rush to buy out your CD, rosy, we sorry, all you get is trophy and talk.

- 1:58:25Speaker 4: You suffer and fight in a battle with breast cancer.
- 1:58:29Speaker 4: What we were told.
- 1:58:31Speaker 4: Tnt rose dead to put on a son of head.
- 1:58:35Speaker 4: So track all the respected heroes dead to put on a crown.
- 1:59:00Speaker 4: I remember Lord Shorty who had fame, woman and money, changed his life for the glory of the Almighty.
- 1:59:10Speaker 4: This great rastaf of the Shorty was crucified for Stice.
- 1:59:18Speaker 4: Mosie Leslie Left in poverty, yet spirit spiritually.
- 1:59:24Speaker 4: But when he died and he won, the whole country had Shorty Namia.
- 1:59:32Speaker 4: They play his songs like fright and center.
- 1:59:37Speaker 4: Total devotion from the media, united Nations, ministry of Education, no one to immortalize his song in history.
- 1:59:48Speaker 4: The only man with the white powder must be laughing at all of me.
- 1:59:53Speaker 4: Shorty, I we sorry, yes, we so, so sorry, just like the God you love.
- 2:00:04Speaker 4: You were crucified in your country, shorty I we sorry.

- 2:00:21Speaker 4: No one seems to care right now.
- 2:00:25Speaker 4: The suffer how they pay their bills or eat the suffer.
- 2:00:29Speaker 4: We wait till Shorty died to put a crown on his head.
- 2:00:34Speaker 4: That's right, tell them thanks, but your crown can't fit On top this raster man head.
- 2:00:41Speaker 4: So wait till pretend I'm dead to put a crown on his head.
- 2:00:48Speaker 4: When there are unformer dead, you'll go see your niles on their head when I throw your crown, let I be dead.
- 2:00:58Speaker 4: See them waving black, white and red.
- 2:01:02Speaker 4: When Wendy Chisela and Kerry Gawne, only memories will live on I love that song, I love that performance.
- 2:01:31Speaker 6: I'm so relevant to what I've been doing.
- 2:01:32Speaker 6: But again, denise, get her crowns too, because she received her main goal.
- 2:01:36Speaker 6: I went back to her article from the Guardian a long long time ago.
- 2:01:40Speaker 6: After 38 years in the entertainment business, calypso and Denise Plummer added the Hemenburn medal to her list of achievements and contributions to the culture of Trinidad and Tobago.
- 2:01:50Speaker 6: Plummer, who is now in New York, was said to have cried when she received the news that she was an official recipient in that category.
- 2:01:56Speaker 6: The anti-guardian contacted her manager and sister, aline Plummer, who was also elated, and revealed that she was so proud of her sister.
- 2:02:05Speaker 6: Denise began her professional career as a performer at the age of 18 when she did the nightclub circuit at the Chaconia Inn owned by Ken Duval.
- 2:02:12Speaker 6: I know that my sister has been truly Calypso Arena in general as a performer and she has had her down moments, but she has also remained resilient throughout.
- 2:02:20Speaker 6: She said Denise deserves this award, and I'm happy, very happy, because I always hope that someone would recognize her work as an artist.
- 2:02:28Speaker 6: However, I also hope that your recognition would not come after her death, and so my wish came true she's alive and has been recognized for her contribution.
- 2:02:38Speaker 6: Denise, I salute you and celebrate this moment and this achievement with you.
- 2:02:43Speaker 6: So Denise Plummer received her Hemenburn Gold medal.
- 2:02:48Speaker 6: I'm going to say what kind of boss she should get and what she should get.
- 2:02:52Speaker 6: I salute that she was honored and I think her send off told a story about how revered she was and is in our culture and it's something that we must always remember Now on this night when she did Win the Calypso Cron 2001,.
- 2:03:08Speaker 6: There's plenty years in the business to come and win the Calypso Cron.
- 2:03:12Speaker 6: I salute that.
- 2:03:13Speaker 6: It speaks to her perseverance and everything.
- 2:03:17Speaker 6: As her sister say right and listen.
- 2:03:19Speaker 6: She told a funny story about her sister in that episode with Remy why are you saying Remy Rokas?
- 2:03:28Speaker 6: She told a funny story about her sister being her manager to her sister, box Donga man in Miami too.
- 2:03:35Speaker 6: She says this sister is bad and the sister is playing games and she comes to collect her money from those smart man promoters.
- 2:03:41Speaker 6: But one of the best stories that she told about that night when she won the Monarch again going back to Stalin, was that after she did that I mean when you hear that performance, that's first song and you hear that kind of reaction for a first song and you know the second song is a bigger song, traditionally.
- 2:03:58Speaker 6: You know, you know you win, right?
- 2:04:01Speaker 6: It's another question about that.
- 2:04:04Speaker 6: And she says she was backstage and nervous and she was coming out when they start her nong's results and they conked in nong from 10 on her name and call her she.
- 2:04:12Speaker 6: She don't want to come out, she frightened.
- 2:04:13Speaker 6: And she says same Stalin walking back in the address room and talk to and say we're doing any back here?
- 2:04:19Speaker 6: What happened to you?
- 2:04:20Speaker 6: Are you frightened?
- 2:04:21Speaker 6: So let me know you can stay here.
- 2:04:23Speaker 6: And so funny, right?
- 2:04:25Speaker 6: He himself referenced it.
- 2:04:26Speaker 6: And he say let me tell you something.
- 2:04:27Speaker 6: When I see you in 86 and I come back stage and you get your baptism of fire, what does that tell you?
- 2:04:34Speaker 6: He say she say don't leave.
- 2:04:37Speaker 6: He said why is it you and your women with tonight?
- 2:04:39Speaker 6: She said now leave.
- 2:04:40Speaker 6: And he said come, you can stay in the back here.
- 2:04:42Speaker 6: She said by the time they don't talk to him, they're down to about number 432.
- 2:04:46Speaker 6: And then when she hear number two and is is, is not her, and she walking out with Stalin, she said the crowd just come to her and they pick her up and carry on stage as a champion.
- 2:04:57Speaker 6: She she talk about is also prophetic in a way of poetic, whatever you want to call it, where she said the crowd pick up and separate her from Stalin, and then she see Stalin just disappear in the distance as she went on.
- 2:05:10Speaker 6: And boy, listen, I have so funny.
- 2:05:11Speaker 6: You're gone.
- 2:05:13Speaker 6: Now You're gonna meet up Stalin.
- 2:05:14Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
- 2:05:15Speaker 6: The I don't want to say party, because I got school party right, it's a gospel party at this point, right, but the party stand back and go on and you meet Stalin.
- 2:05:23Speaker 6: You can't fill more.
- 2:05:24Speaker 6: So much of them.
- 2:05:26Speaker 6: Tell me, say hello to get a very good.
- 2:05:28Speaker 6: So many of the woman up there, you know I mean singing Sandra on the bus stick.
- 2:05:32Speaker 6: You know, all these, all these women singing Francine, go and meet a whole bunch of our icons.
- 2:05:38Speaker 6: So tell, tell, tell them we say hello, tell them, we love them.
- 2:05:42Speaker 6: I sure they glad they are the way to the middle and and and whole.
- 2:05:46Speaker 6: Renny Ramner I'm not right, I'm too Whole.
- 2:05:48Speaker 6: Renny Ramner in hand, telling me love him and we miss him.
- 2:05:50Speaker 6: And you're not expecting somebody like Renny Ramner Interpass away so young.
- 2:05:55Speaker 6: Nothing can prepare you for that.
- 2:05:55Speaker 6: You know.
- 2:05:56Speaker 6: I mean telling me family.
- 2:05:57Speaker 6: Love him and tell him we love him down here, you know I mean.
- 2:05:59Speaker 6: So this is my sign.
- 2:06:01Speaker 6: No for the news.
- 2:06:03Speaker 6: Again, when people ask me about what is the greatest calypso ever written.
- 2:06:06Speaker 6: A lot of people have a lot of opinions about what is the greatest calypso ever written, but I am documented as saying that this is certainly the best nation building song ever written and performed.
- 2:06:17Speaker 6: And I remember to know when she did this song the year after I tried my best to find the song by carefully and somebody got to help her.
- 2:06:24Speaker 6: The year after she did this song she came back and sing a song talking about how it was the most expensive calypso she ever buy.
- 2:06:31Speaker 6: Right, and it was because of the controversy between her and Kurt Allen.
- 2:06:35Speaker 6: Was he right?
- 2:06:36Speaker 6: So the song is a mistake and I think it was.
- 2:06:41Speaker 6: The deal was that you're supposed to get 50% or whatever the song bringing performances, everything she had to give him, the car from the calypso monarch and so on, and that calypso that she sang the year after the song, what the most calypso she ever well put together in a great song.
- 2:06:54Speaker 6: That is political commentary for your money, but in my humble opinion I leave in Hollywood is the best nation building song ever.
- 2:07:03Speaker 6: I will talk to you next week.
- 2:07:05Speaker 6: Thanks for tuning in again, please.
