All I needed was a Neumann mike and an isolation sound proof facility and any studio anywhere is available to me. You can record on a machine thousands of miles away and take instructions from the client just 100 miles away through the headphones all at the same time in real time with astonishing results.\u00a0 This is the technology of now and which gives musicians from small island states a remarkable way out of the corner in which they were once\u00a0 trapped.<\/p>\n<p>In the days of the Gaylords Power Union (GPU) it took me months to raise money for cutting our first album. The idea that a Waitikubuli\u00a0 group could actually come up with an album was greeted with a skepticism\u00a0 and even derision that would shock today as we are now familiar with local albums; a whole lot of them.\u00a0\u00a0 But the government of Edward Leblanc believed that there was a distinctive place for musicians in the scheme of things and responded to our desperate request with actual cash from a special fund set up by him to aid the musicians of this land move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise the GPU might have had to pull up brakes and fold tents and \u201cLovely Dominica\u201d may have never been recorded.\u00a0\u00a0 Other groups like the Sifluer Montagne benefitted from that fund and the vision of Leblanc.<\/p>\n<p>When Tarina wowed the TV audiences around the region with her performances on a Digicel competition she was greeted on her return home with shouts of acclamation and jubilation, our people bawled ecstatically, the radio was alive with her praises, politicians waded in to gain political points and under all this my quiet voice went to high places and suggested, \u201cGive her a scholarship to study music and voice.\u00a0 Talent scouts usually check those places\u201d\u00a0 Nobody even bleeped on me.\u00a0 For her like so many others it is, \u201cQue sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The administration rightly boasts of the number of scholarships that it distributes each year but for the music, \u201cNo scholarship for dat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The private sector is unable or unwilling to invest large sums of money into the promotion of artistes, but if we believe in the future of our youth it is we the people who must step forward through the government we placed in charge of our affairs. At this time when our airways are bombarded with complaints about crime and violence among youth and how sex, drugs, and alcohol have invaded our schools and the behavior of our students who now have developed an arrogant attitude to parents, teachers, elders et on, is it not time to take a keen interest in what motivates them, like music eh?\u00a0 All of this was loaded into the paper presented to the minister who promised immediate action and then was transferred before he could deliver-12 months later.<\/p>\n<p>The new minister after a while was also enthusiastic and so again I presented the document which outlined a way forward for our music and that minister also promised swift action but then she was dropped from the election candidate roll-15 months later.\u00a0 In short nothing happened.\u00a0 I have often asked why\u00a0 is it that music and cultural activity\u00a0 usually is placed in the hands of a government minister that, \u201cthey just have to give something,\u201d and who\u00a0 as such feels little urge to do anything about anything.<\/p>\n<p>So what did I write in that document presented to the minister?\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>The journey continues and ends with Part 3 next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I am grateful for the emails sent to me by those who want to say something about something because they read something\u00a0 about something but do not want to say something openly.\u00a0 I noted one which asks that I write&#8230;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-just-dennis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
