SAINT LUCIA
Mac stepped of the AA Eagle flight and hit a wall of
heat. She turned to Harm "I'd
forgotten how hot the islands could be."
"Sure beats DC" he replied.
As they approached the little terminal she began reading the
line up for the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival it confirmed all that she had read to
date. She pointed to the welcome prominent board. "Harm" she warned "You will get no sleep for the
next ten days."
"Who came to sleep I came to rock and roll."
"Jazz Harm Jazz not rock."
"What ever."

IMMIGRATION, CUSTOMS AND EXCISE
As they stepped into the air-conditioned building; music
flooded the official spaces. Harm poked
Mac and joked "Dorothy we are no longer in Kansas."
They say
Carnival is bad
Carnival
is sinful
Jumping
in a band man on top woman
Is for vulgar
people
She grinned and began to tap her toes to the beat. "Yeah isn't this great!"

TAXI STAND
Harm and Mac moved to the official taxi stand and gave the
driver the name of the hotel. They got
into the taxi and the song hit them.
I said

De
pocket empty empty empty
Cause
all de money money money
In de
hairy bank
All de
money stay in de hairy bank
"Hell of a song." Harm observed.
"Yeah" Charles the driver replied. "This song has been rocking the place. I hear the singer will be coming for the
official opening of the Jazz Festival"
"That's tomorrow night right?" Mac asked.
"Yeah at the Mindoo Phillip Park. It will be righteous!" He enthused "Be
there or be square."
"You heard the man." Mac poked Harm.

BAY GARDENS HOTEL
FRONT DESK
As Harm checked them into the hotel, Mac sipped on the
welcome complimentary drink and absorbed the latest tune. She was ecstatic. She fully expected this to
be a hectic ten days. She focused on
the song.
I going
down by Footsteps there have nuff shoes dere
You

I bonch
up with Funatix playing nuff mass dere
You dere
wining on a booshewah fighting nuff class dere
Eh bien

Dis year
I want my share.
I dere
you dere I see you everywhere shaking up dat bumper
Dis year

She turned to the young man attending to them and
asked. "We want to make
arrangements to attending the launching of the Jazz Festival. Can you assist?"
"Of course ma'am.
I will have the details all ready for you. When you come down for dinner
tonight come here and ask for me ... James and I'll have all the details
including tickets."
"Thank you James." Mac positively glowed.

BAY GARDENS HOTEL
RABB'S ROOM
Mac flopped down on the large bed. "Harm I am here a couple of hours and I am already having
the time of my life!" She leaped up and kissed him "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He said as she moved from him to
the radio on the nightstand. She
switched it on. The DJ's voice filled
the room.
"Well now for a change of pace. As you know the Saint
Lucia the Tourist Board will be launching the Jazz Festival tomorrow night at
the Mindoo Phillip Park. It's promising
to be one hell of a show folks. Get your tickets. Are there tickets left? You may have to sit outside to enjoy. Well all cued up is one of the artists
scheduled to perform. I'm told the ladies adore this one. So for the ladies ...
Oh Kim
Who do
hell is Kim!
What
foolishness you talking!
Better
call out for a ride to pick up your things outside
So long
my friend
It's
adios
And
goodbye
"Ha I love it!" Mac was like a kid in a candy
store. "She repeated the chorus"
"I can see why.
Caribbean music is sure colorful."
Harm said.
"Isn't it just?
I must return with a couple of CDs."

EN ROUTE TO MINDOO PHILLIP PARK
JAZZ FESTIVAL LAUNCHING
As promised James had arranged all for them and they were on
their way to start day one of a marathon ten days. Mac ordered the driver to
find her non-American music.
"Mac the man is not in the Marines." Harm
admonished.
She shrugged at him then focused on the latest song on the
air.
Everywhere
you pass boys calling girls in town - Sweet Eye
An if
you doh answer they give you movee-lang Sweet Eye
Troubling
you while you walk
And
calling you Sweet Sweet Eye
Ayye
ayye ayye

MINDOO PHILLIP PARK
JAZZ FESTIVAL LAUNCHING
The venue was packed with wall-to-wall persons. It seemed that every nationality on the
planet had sent a representative some seemed to have send delegations.
Harm didn't know how she did it but she had managed to grasp
at least the chorus of the majority of the songs belted out. He watched her as she dealt with the latest.
Saint
Lucia
Dominica
Grenada
Trinidad
and Tobago
On stage
we sending a message
On stage
portraying an outrage
On stage

On stage

Jump up

Waive it

Like every other person Mac was waving a "rag"
where she had got it? And more to the point when? Harm had not a clue. The entertainment
had been frenetic and non-stop and Mac had been enthralled from the first beat.
The beat slowed and she leaned against her husband. Harm could feel her sway in tune with the
song and didn't know which was worse to have her jigging up and down in front
of him or to feel her gyrating against him.
Of course she knew this one after the first chorus was sung.
So I didn't
tell to go roam the streets
But that
what happens when the rubber-dubbing
Gets
sweet
You down
der whirling and there rubber-dubbing
You
waist line skunking
And the
daylight jamming
SO!
So do
you feel like you could rock some more?
For a
strictly rubber-dub for sure
And you
dub and you wine JAH Love!
Hear now

She slept the whole way back.
It was going to be an intense time and one hell of a
postponed honeymoon.
