Hi Slingshot,
Great to here from you and to know you are doing so well. I have heard such great things about you, and now I know for sure that they are all true! I have seen your website at the invitation of our mutual friend, Ken Chung, and I was truly impressed!
[…]
And finally, it just leaves me to say ...CONGRATULATIONS on your achievements in the Soca competition. After spending some time at the Trinidad Carnival, I know that you must have beaten off some excellent competitions.
We will speak real soon

Hi Slingshot
Congratulations on winning the competition.

How is your family, particularly Ingrid?
Robert and I can arrange to meet you on Thursday the 3rd of November for lunch, say between 12 and 1 pm. Is that convenient and if so, where would you like to meet? We can always ring you at the Holiday Inn when you've arrived, if you tell us when to ring.

Congratulations John,

Belated thanks for your generous donation to the Hinterland Scholarships and Medical Emergencies Fund by auctioning off your 2006 Mash CDs at the fundraising dinner during Amerindian Heritage month.

I particularly enjoyed your ex-tempo live performance sans accompanying track due to the malfunctioning CD player. The second number impressed me even more when you casually dictated a couple of chords to the home-made box guitar player who hadn't heard your melody before. The harmony and rhythm blended so smoothly. No discord.

The enthralled audience was somewhat nonplussed when you disappeared after your performance. I posited that maybe you are like me, a non-'wild meat' eater... The buffet also included all kinds of cassava dishes, salads and lukanani tuma...

Looking forward to seeing you at Mash '06!
Anna lles

P.S. Did you grant permission to Alliance for Change to use your "Wake Up Guyana" (and frames from the music video) as the soundtrack of their catchy TV Ad?

Hi Mr. Slingshot,

On behalf of the Guyanese Association of Barbados, I want to personally send my “Congrats” to you on your recent success in Miami.

Now in order for me to continue promoting Guyanese music in Barbados and the north and South Caribbean, I am requesting a promotional copy of your current CD "Mash Fever"

I can 't wait to receive the material so I can include the winning song "Pirates" on our station's weekly chart which should start in a few weeks time.

Congrats again.

Sling,

Good to hear that you are safe and doing ok.
Yes, I did receive my package and thanks for the bonus and the special handling attention, it is much appreciated. I didn't get a chance to listen to all the melody as yet except for Mash Fever.

Mash Fever is very original, folksy and reflective Guyanese style. Neil Young eat your heart out. I already got a few favorites like Locket.....I love the hooooooorn, Harry and Millie and Lazy.

I am a little busy but will sure listen to the others.

Do send me ur mailing address.

Hi John,
The name to blame is procrastination and I am certainly guilty of that.
I am elated, as I think most Guyanese are, of your exploits. It has been on the news and there is a marked increase in air play of your music.
What you have done is solidifying on the concept that Guyanese music is creating a place for itself. Of late several locally based performers have been showing us that Guyanese creativity is not only "appreciated" by us at home, but others are paying attention to what they offer.
I guess it would be in order, (though late) to say "Thanks for what you have done for us as a people".
I mean shaking down them Trinis 'at their own thing' could not have been easy, but rewarding. Now you have a goal, that is to demonstrate that it was no fluke and I hope that you'll be inspired by the "Guyanese People" to hold your own from here onwards.
Once again thanks.
Be good to your self and others around you.
Elton

The first time I heard your music was on the “Guyanese Music Showcase” that comes over the internet and I actually hooked up the computer to a tape recorder and recorded a whole cassette with you and D'Ivan.
But not to worry, this coming Friday I am going to purchase one of your CDs that contains my FAVORITE song and if I am correct, that is the song that gave you that award, 'WHY'.
Man, I love that song so much I am actually at school, so I can't quote the words because I don't remember it. But, the message is just right.

Hi Slingshot:
We have been meaning to call you and after returning from Miami, it is from one thing to another. Orlando Carnival Association is hosting a benefit for (Caribbean) victims of Katrina at Upper Level Club on Adanson St, near to Lee Road (the old JJ Whispers site) next Sunday, October 30th from 1-9 p.m. So far, everything is being donated, and we were wondering if you might be willing to make an appearance on the program […]
We also plan to include The Mustard Seed, a local organization that is responsible for placing families here in Orlando.
We felt that the Red Cross is already established and our own Caribbean people are probably being overlooked.
We will have a few people from the Carnival Committee in New Orleans who will be attending the event. They could not have their carnival which was to take place about three weeks after the hurricane struck.
Thanks so much.

Congrats Sling. You have made us all very proud.
My dad says that he does remember the old days when you use to play at Estate Junior Staff Club.
Again, continued success and best wishes.
Ed

Hi John//Group,

Just as John "Slingshot" brought the work of the “Lonely Bulls” and “Sons of India” to our generation, he now completes the circle by introducing his very own, GUYANESE, exciting line up of calypso, reggae and love songs. No, it’s not the end....!

Now, more than over five decades into his career, Slingshot is more vital and relevant than ever. Soon to be a musical force, transcending cultural and language barriers, he forges his way up and through rough and un-chartered terrain, taking his music to higher heights.

Its soul stirring, celebration of life, spirit, brotherhood and diversity is a powerful message to a world gone astray. Slingshot is a jubilant 21st century man, and like the new century, he's just getting started.....

Stay connected....PIRATES ALL OVER TOWN!!!!
Carl

Ps: Got help with putting this together ... John deserves our praise and admiration for his tireless work among the needy orphans in Guyana >>>>

Hi John,

Love to you and your family.
I am so very happy for you, congratulations on your win in Miami. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you.
So what’s new with you over there when will you be coming back to Guyana?
I miss talking to you. You were so busy the last time you were here.
I am happy that you like the gifts I sent. Did you frame the one for Annabelle? If not, please do so and put it in her room. That was made especially for her because she is a Scorpion like me.
Love
Shawndel
