WHY do people on the internet think that the way to increase voter turnout is to get into arguments with people who are ideologically opposed to voting. Like over 40% of americans don’t vote in presidential elections! And it’s not because over 40% of americans are radical leftists who think voting won’t change anything or that voting for Biden would compromise their values! Take your online arguing energy and volunteer for an organization that actually boosts voter turnout!!

Right About Now

Kurt Elling

The story of SuperBlue, as best as I've gleened is Kurt Elling had moved back to Chicago after years in New York just before the COVID shutdowns began. He wasn't adjusting to it well. His old friend Charlie Hunter told Elling to keep the music going.

Hunter collaborated with two talented young musicians in a Jazz quintet based in Richmond, VA called Butcher Brown, drummer Corey Fonville and DJ Harrison. Hunter, Fonville and Harrison laid some tracks together working online. Hunter sent tracks to Elling who recognized how wonderful they where, but asked his old friend, "Where are the melodies?" Hunter responded, "That's for you to figure out."

The first album put out in 2021 was Superblue and the new release is Superblue: The Iridescent Spree. Here's Elling's Website. I really have enjoyed listening to songs on the albums. What I discovered today is Elling has been touring with Hunter and some really great musicians sitting in DJ Harrison's and Corey Fonville's seats.

This morning I was ten minutes late for work because I started watching a recent performance at Bimhuis from November the sixth with Julius Rodriguez and Marcus Finnie. I watched the show tonight and it made me feel really good. Very entertaining. Really so much fun!

............................................................................................................................

The National Archives of Trinidad and Tobago extends our condolences to the family and friends of the legendary Calypsonian, Gospel Singer, and former Calypso Monarch, Denyse Plummer.

Denyse Plummer broke barriers when she first emerged on the calypso scene during the 1980s, facing criticism onstage at Skinner Park as a “mixed”, female calypsonian in what has traditionally been seen as a male-dominated field. She never let this deter her however, and adamantly portrayed her love for her craft to the best of her ability, which earned her multiple crowns as Calypso Queen, and the 2001 Calypso Monarch Title with her popular song, “Nah Leaving”.

She began singing from an early age as a student at Holy Name Convent, and with their choir won several youth music competitions. Additionally, she participated in popular local talent competitions: "12 and Under", and "Scouting for Talent." As an adult, she regularly performed at the Chaconia Inn in Maraval during the 1970s-1980s.

Plummer released her first album in 1978. Her popular melodies eventually made their way to the ears of Len “Boogsie” Sharpe, who invited her to perform the Phase II Pan Groove steelband’s Panorama song, “Pan Rising” in 1986, although she had never sung calypso before. Her infamous debut at the Calypso Monarch semi-finals at Skinner Park saw jeering crowds throw projectiles at her on stage which she then incorporated into her performance, winning herself the respect of her audience and revealing why, “Woman is Boss”, as her 1988 song stated.

Following this, she was invited by calypsonian Superblue to perform at his Culture House calypso tent, and then at the late Aldwyn Roberts’, (Lord Kitchener’s) calypso tent The Revue, where she remained for 18 years. She enjoyed a successful calypso career and performed widely abroad as well, even winning Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre in New York in 1989.

From 2015 until her passing Denyse Plummer had become a performer of Gospel music, but still incorporated the rhythm and music of calypso into her songs. In 2011, she was awarded the Trinidad & Tobago Hummingbird Medal Gold for her contributions to culture.
