Let me also thank you, too, for supporting TUCO’s Special Achievers’ Fund aimed at assisting veteran/aged calypsonians who are either ill or in need of financial care. All calypsonians are happy to note that, arising from press reports from your ministry, singers Baron, Black Stalin, Valentino, Bill Trotman, and Surpriser (now 90 years old), as well as musician Roy Cape, have been assisted financially by you and yours, even though your ministerial cheques
