Thanks a million for this "stroke".  Excellent!
I am one of the friends of Guyana, and too often I hear "fellow Guyanese" and not a mention of us outsiders.
Looking forward to meeting you and seeing you perform over the weekend.

Hello Slingshot,
Hope all is well.
I was with my 2 daughters (ages 10 and 22) at the Guyana Day show on 5/13 waiting with great anticipation to see you perform.

I remembered my young days when your band, Sons of India, used to play at the fairground and create such happy feelings. Good luck with the taping of your single “Angels Crying”. 

See you in New York on the weekend of June 4.
Take care!
Brudsie.

Hey Sling!
You don't even have to ask the question. You should be on every Guyanese event automatically. I'd love to have you there. In other words I'll just put you on the flyer.
Hey Bro! Keep up the good work. This event will be great. We expect over 20,000 persons! Please forward the invite to all your contacts.
One Love

Hi John
York College event was a hit and it was a much better and larger crowd this year.  You were surely missed from the line-up of performers.  I know the audience would've went home uplifted and splendidly joyful after your performance.  Well, we're definitely looking forward for the next event.

Dear Slingshot,
I hope your trip to Guyana was a successful one, one day if you have time, I would love to hear about it. It is such a dream of mine right now to be able to travel to Trinidad, Guyana and India.  Well, perhaps one day!
How does this woman adequately say thank you?
You are so very kind, to take the time to send your very special wishes.  You have touched this woman's heart!
Thank you so much!

John boy,

As the elephants fight, it’s the grass that is being trampled on.  The grass in this case happens to be us Guyanese.
They were playing your video “Wake Up My Guyana” on Ch 11 the other night. With the killing of the minister, the words of that song seem more true than before.
Say hello to everyone for me.

Saturday I was on Regent Street, and saw (and heard) a guy was selling black pudding and other Guyanese snacks. His call out to passersby were "tek a taste, take a taste, (to your music) get your black pudding and puri hey.... tek a taste, tek a taste!”
A few minutes ago (on NCN Radio) local writer Peetamber Persaud did a view point on reading and education, and alluded to your song "Pirates" and your Mash entrance to highlight PIRACY.
