Through the years of turmoil on this earth,

I have sought to find my place, my berth. 

Struggled to plant my seeds to gain growth,

Through the hardships I have tenaciously fought. 

The best laid plans have often been to no avail,

Fate often interferes to test my resolve on the trail.

Hurdles I have had to leap over on my quest,

Many a path taken in my drive to be the very best. 

Lessons learnt along the way and noted well,

Experiences that taught me to navigate

through hell.

But despite the arduous times I still can beam a smile,

At the humor that lies alongside the stress in each mile. 

No obstacle shall be allowed to steal my joy,

Not even when someone treats my heart as a toy.

Challenges, it is said, builds great character,

What I do know is that I have a heavenly benefactor.

No matter the road still to travel in this life,

I am sure that I shall overcome all earthly strife.

With faith and love as my trusty guide and tools,

I am equipped to overcome all trials and fools.

Host Freddie Campbell will dedicate a section of tonight's broadcast to New Music, not by Jamaicans, but by any other band who is giving us their interpritation of Ska. He will talk with some of these musicians and try to get a feel for what they want from their version of the music.

An example of the out-of-body component of the near-death experience is the case of Jazmyne Cidavia-DeRepentigny of Hull Georgia.  She died on the operating table during surgery in late 1979 (pages 10-11, paperback version, "BEYOND THE LIGHT"):

"I must say that this experience was quite unsettling to say the least.  I was floating over my body.  I could see and hear everything that was being said and done.  I left the room for a short while and then returned to where my body lay.  I knew why I died.  It was because I couldn't breathe.  There was a tube down my throat and the medical staff did not have an oxygen mask on my nose.  I had also been given too much anesthetic.

Slinger Francisco, better known as The Mighty Sparrow, affectionately dubbed, The Birdie is the unrivaled Calypso King of the World, with a career that spans over 40 years and counting. This artist par excellence has earned his rightful place as "King of the Calypso World" by defeating every other competitor/pretender to his throne. He has entertained audiences across the globe, including, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, to name but a few.

Sparrow's roots are in Gran Roi, a rural fishing village in Grenada. He was born to a poor working class family. They migrated to his adopted homeland, Trinidad, when he was just one year old. He attended the New Town Boys School where he was selected to sing in the boys. choir of St. Patrick's Catholic Church. This was his initial involvement in music. The harmonics of the Gregorian Chants and the Plainsongs of the church that were embedded in him would later affect the depth and intensity of his compositions. His vocal abilities also reflect his childhood role as the head choirboy who sang baritone and tenor in Latin in the church.

Other influences included listening to American street quartets, pop tunes by Nat King Cole and Frankie Laine, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Eckstein, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald with their jazz contributions, and the early calypsoes of Lord Melody, Lord Kitchener, Lord Christo, Lord Invader (of Rum and Coca Cola fame) and the Mighty Spoiler, to name a few.

At the tender age of 20, Sparrow emerged, as the leading Calypsonian with his record-breaking hit, Jean and Dinah. (Yankees Gone, 1956 covered by Harry Belafonte).
