...'While I was in Jamaica on vacation recently, in one of the restaurants they had these three musicians who play traditional calypso music. And one of the songs I requested was this song. And the guy looked at me and laugh and said, " It's funny you should ask for that, because the writer of the song is right here.' One of the guitar players was indeed the writer of that song. He was about 154, he was brilliant. I was a huge fan of Belafonte, back in the Bronx. I even stole a riff, a phrase from this for a song I did when I was with Gichy Dan's Beechwood #9 " ( Kid Creole, Wire 2010 )
