Ten years after his sudden passing, it seems that there is much to lament today in the loss of the prodigious talent of Aldwyn Roberts, who wrote, sang and worked in his chosen profession for more than 60 years after getting his first break at a tamboo bamboo calypso tent in 1937.

In an era in which the successful careers of most performers in the soca arena are measured in months and there is little interest in becoming the kind of well-rounded musician, arranger, promoter and extraordinary composer that Kitchener was, it’s worth remembering the sheer scope of the man’s legacy and the enormity of his contribution to the Carnival landscape.

The man was no kaiso elitist. In the England years, between 1948 and 1963, Roberts worked his behind off, building his reputation and a small calypso empire fuelled by frequent performances, a nightclub and investments in properties even as he sent songs back to Trinidad and Tobago to let his fans know that he still had his sting. ‘Nora Nora Nora’ and ‘Trouble in Arima’ were songs from this period, music strong enough to succeed without the man present to sing them.

On his return to this country in 1963, he immediately staked his claim on the Road March, the anthem of each year’s Carnival celebration and the most forthright expression of a People’s Choice award anywhere in the world.
His combination of topicality, wit, and astonishing arranging skills landed him the award ten times between 1963’s ‘The Road’ and ‘Flag woman’ in 1976.

By then, the musical emphasis of Carnival on the road had changed and the impact of the steelbands for whom his music was so emphatically composed diminished in importance on the streets, replaced by brass bands and music trucks as portable generators finally became small enough to be practical on the road.
He remained, however, the pan arranger’s darling, his music gliding off the shimmering surfaces of hammered steel with a sweetness that has rarely been matched then or since.

Between ‘Mama dis is mas’ in 1964 and ‘The Guitar Pan’ in 1997, steelbands were victorious in the Panorama competitions with his music an astonishing 18 times.
While servicing his existing constituencies, Kitchener the composer proved a restless, ready observer of the music around him. He incorporated jazz credibly in ’12 bar Joan’ created one of the great lavway laments in ‘The Carnival is over,’ and cemented the relevance of soca for disdainful calypsonians with ‘Sugar Bum Bum.’

Roberts was a calypsonian’s calypsonian, and his Calypso Revue was nursery, school and finally home to a surprising number of today’s calypsonians who got their start at the tent and remained loyally with Kitch after they became successful.
In 1964, its first year of existence, four calypsonians from the Revue competed in the Calypso Monarch finals; Kitch, Nap Hepburn, Bomber, and Blakie, with Bomber taking the crown.

In 2000, after his passing, the Dimanche Gras stage was also commanded by a startling percentage of cast members of his tent, including Sugar Aloes, Crazy, Pink Panther and De Fosto, each of whom performed in a red suit and hat styled after Kitchener’s trademark stage uniform.
Lord Kitchener may be lost to us, but his influence and legacy remain. His son, Kernel, has grown into a potent musical force and serves as a composer, musical director and as a remarkable arranger for Machel Montano’s HD family.

He is father’s son, but he is also his own man, adapting his rhythmic talents to the fast moving world of modern soca and creating, among other songs, the JW & Blaze hit Palance, which musically riffs off a bridge formulated in the Brassorama competition to move from one song to another during the competition.

The enormity of Lord Kitchener’s influence on the music of Trinidad and Tobago is still to be fully evaluated. In 1996, an attempt was made at Queen’s Hall as an Honour Performance of the man’s work was mounted by a virtual who’s who of contemporary performers, from the boy group Blak Mayl to the Marionettes Chorale.

The lessons of Kitchener’s life offer rich example for today’s calypso and soca performers. This was a man who was, at every stage of his career, a remarkable mix of entrepreneur and artist, a composer, arranger and singer who accepted everything as an influence and created something unique out of all that he saw and heard.

Aldwyn Roberts was adaptable but firm in his style – there was never a Kitch calypso that sounded like anyone else’s – and he remained vital and relevant throughout six decades of the artform’s development.
His was a daunting example, a mountainous legacy worth climbing in deed.]]>Drumquestra review postednospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2010-02-08T23:07:58-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/DrumquestraPosted.html#unique-entry-id-393http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/DrumquestraPosted.html#unique-entry-id-393A review of Larry McDonald's Drumquestra is posted here.

As a courtesy, I am reposting it here for general access.

It was with shock and dismay that the media association learned of the recommendations of the Privileges Committee of the House of Representatives with regard to Mr Andre Bagoo of the Newsday newspaper.

On finding Mr Bagoo guilty of an offence, the committee recommended not only that the newspaper publish an apology, but also that Mr Bagoo be banned from the media gallery of Parliament until the end of the session.

Matt considers this an unjustifiably harsh and highly unusual punishment.

Mr Bagoo had been accused by Information Minister Neil Parsanlal of committing a contempt of Parliament by publishing the proceedings of the Privileges Committee in another matter before those proceedings had been reported to the House.

The association admits that this publication by Newsday was indeed in breach of the Standing Orders of Parliament.

However, in previous cases involving breaches of privilege--including the case prematurely reported by Mr Bagoo, which involved Udecott--once the accused party apologises for the offence, he or she is almost invariably let off and no further action taken. It should be noted that the editor in chief of Newsday, Ms Therese Mills, appeared before the committee and apologised for breaching the Standing Orders.

In addition, in a minority report, three members of the committee disagreed with the recommendations and argued that banning a reporter contravened the constitutionally enshrined freedom of the press. They asked that members of the House reject either the entire report or that recommendation.

Matt endorses this call, and now awaits with apprehension the committee’s findings in the case of two other journalists also sent to the Privileges Committee.

In light of the recommendations in the case of Mr Bagoo, Matt notes with grave concern that a pattern may be emerging of attempted intimidation, by way of the Privileges Committee, of journalists whose reporting may have embarrassed or offended the Government.]]>Windows 7 launchnospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comTechnology2009-11-09T23:57:39-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/Win7launch.html#unique-entry-id-362http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/Win7launch.html#unique-entry-id-362posted here...]]>10 ways to improve your photographynospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2009-11-09T23:21:46-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/10ways.html#unique-entry-id-361http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/10ways.html#unique-entry-id-361this post...]]>Womanwise gone wrongnospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2009-11-09T23:19:31-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/WW11.html#unique-entry-id-360http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/WW11.html#unique-entry-id-360posted here...]]>BitDepth 705 postednospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2009-11-09T23:17:48-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/BitDepth705posted.html#unique-entry-id-359http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/BitDepth705posted.html#unique-entry-id-359...]]>Photographing Carolyn Paseanospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2009-11-02T23:15:31-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/WW10.html#unique-entry-id-358http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/WW10.html#unique-entry-id-358posted here...]]>BitDepth 704 postednospamplease@lyndersaydigital.comWebsite Updates2009-11-02T22:51:37-04:00http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/BitDepth704posted.html#unique-entry-id-357http://www.lyndersaydigital.com/brain/dump_files/BitDepth704posted.html#unique-entry-id-357Oct09MeetingInviteLinkBitDepth 704, about a talk I gave to the Association of Female Executives of Trinidad and Tobago, is posted here...

That's the one that's supposed to crash Photoshop if you try to use it in that program.
Most of Apple's software in Snow Leopard runs in 64 bit mode by default, causing problems for users who add plug-ins (to Safari, for instance) that won't run in that mode. The solution is to select the icon of the application, select Get Info from the File menu and in the resulting info pane, click the "Open in 32 bit mode" checkbox.

Some mission-critical plug-ins are still AWOL for Mac OS 10.6, despite the aggressive updates being pushed out by most programmers. Widemail, which enables Outlook view in Apple's Mail is still out for the count, though Aaron Harnly has stepped back up to the plate with Letterbox, the original pane re-organiser for people who can't stand the way that Mail organises information. The current beta version works with Mail in 64 bit mode.

Software that's endangered for casual users...

Little Snapper, Snapz Pro and anything previously used to capture the screen as stills or as a movie. It was always possible to do a screen snap with Shift-Command 3 and 4, but the Finder now helpfully names these screen captures with a date and time and Quicktime Player can record directly off the screen.

Similarly, the new Services menu (which I can't get to stop "building" and display its contents yet) contains a number of useful tools that make text handling tools like TextSoap and SpellCatcher redundant for all but the most serious users.

Text substitution is basic, but probably offers enough power for casual users. Serious keystroke savers will stick with tools like TextExpander.

Hardcore screen recorders will update their software and ignore the built in tools, but users who just want to capture a quick demonstration video will find their needs satisfied by the built in solution.

Terminal users will welcome the ability to split the terminal console window, and serious "presenters" will welcome the OS support for HDTV connections via HDMI. After all, that's just what we need when connecting our Macbooks to a high def television to run "PowerPoint," don't we.

The author is Christopher Cozier, about whom I never tire of noting that I published his first piece of mass reproduced art, a cartoon, etched onto stencil paper, for the Trinity College (Maraval) newsletter, the Buzzer.

I'm equally surprised to have been one of the people chosen in the first pass of his portrait project on Trinidad and Tobago artists.

So with the management at home on vacation, we sped off on Friday morning for a quick dip on the only partly complete, but mercifully open for access beach at Macueripe in Chaguaramas.

Swimming along my ocean "lane" a space roughly ten feet wide and running from the middle of the beach to the northern end, I noticed an empty bottle. Recalling a cut I got on my footpad a few days before on a previous visit, I dove to pick it up.

BeachDebrisLink
This proved to be a bit like buying a stylish car and then seeing it everywhere. Just along that fairly narrow swimming path, I kept seeing more and more of this debris (I swim with goggles).
So I began to pick it up and take it out of the water. This is the result of less than an hour's worth of work at the beach that morning.

Rubbish in the oceans is becoming a critical matter. Glass bottles only break and leave deadly splinters for swimmers until they are eventually worn down into pretty bits of abraded glass. Tin cans don't disintegrate at all and crushed cans offer jagged edges quickly as they get knocked around on rocks.

Let's take this stuff out of the water when we find it and better yet, don't drop it in the water in the first place.

They were gone from Motown, the label that had nurtured them from childhood to stardom. Now they were with Epic Records, the beginning of a long and ultimately unsatisfying period that yielded almost no additions to their significant repertoire.
In just over a year, little brother Michael would begin a trajectory of fame and stardom that would eclipse his most remarkable moments under Berry Gordy. In short order, he would emerge as the saving grace of the film version of The Wiz and record the first solo album on which he would exercise his growing production and songwriting skills.
The Jacksons in 1978 seemed very much in flux, caught between the glories of their past and an uncertain future, the band was confident in performance and capable in public presence.

My brief encounter with them during the few days that they spent in Trinidad and Tobago would forever change the arc of my own career, the photo that I stumbled into of Michael and Penny Commissiong forever lifted my profile from writer with a camera to photographer and changed my own perception of my capabilities and potential.
The Jacksons tour of 1978 didn't change my life, but it accelerated my travels along an inevitable path and gave me both the confidence to pursue a shaky professional venture and the will to stick with it when things didn't work out.

I have no doubt that Michael and his brothers forgot all about me before they even set foot on their flight back home and I will confess to have thought little about the encounter over the past three decades, but in reposting the story I sold to Owen Baptiste's People Magazine (my first major story in a magazine and pictures on a glossy cover) I hope to share something of what happened during those few days and to pay homage to the young star who passed away on June 25.

Soyini Grey was a delight to work with on this clip for CNews' technology segment. Smart, funny and accommodating, she allowed me to ramble on for what seemed like way too long about Twitter, traditional media and the elections in Iran.

Some thoughts that didn't make it into the final edit include...
Twitter succeeded in Iran because it was diffuse and invisible. Traditional media was easy to find, target and neutralise. Licensed, official reporters are known to the authorities, dozens of people with cellphones and laptops are not.

The authorities in Iran tried to stop information from getting out, blocking access to the preferred social media network in Iran, Friendfeed, but young people simply switched to Twitter and went on sharing links and news updates. Multiple sources of information and multiple points of access for publishing make traditional methods of information supression more difficult, if not impossible to implement.

In embracing new media, traditional media sources need to cultivate the savvy to separate misinformation from fact, opinion from reporting. Life magazine, busy reinventing itself as a source for impactful photography on the web did exactly that by making contact with a photographer who posted some of the best imagery coming out of the protests and gathering that person's work into a striking gallery.

The photographer's identity remains unknown and has since been reported missing by their family. See those images on Life's gallery here...
