comments: Hello Slingshot great site and real massive works. As a
Guyanese we are proud of our artists. I'm also a singer/producer
keeping the fire burning in Brasil, where I have a large
following. I'm wondering how we can get our music distributed so
our folks can buy Guyanese artistes the way Jamaicans do. I've
recently released in the USA my latest CD, but need also to get it
in Guyana etc. Once again we need to WORK together. One love to
all your fans also!

comments: Hi John … Good website..!
I got your address and info from Patrick Ramnarine. And, yes,
you’re right … your days at # 63 Beach were live heaven on earth,
and you had a very formative and blessed time. I would not trade
the Skeldon experience for any other … simply priceless. It’s been
a long time.
I played in the band with Rawle Farley and a few other blokes, at
Wong-Wee in the late 60’s/early 70’s … I don’t believe that you’ll
know me. Cause I was a little punk at the time. I remember you as
that slick “Lonely Bulls” dude”.
You guys did pretty good…! I know Rudy and Stanley. If you wish to
contact Stanley, I’ll drop you his email. He lives in Spain. Guess
he’s looking for “The Lonely Bulls”. Or the “Bulls” are calling.
That is so very generous of you to impart your private time and
experience on your “Tropical Waves” website.
Talk to you soon

Talk about getting around! Dan man doan stann easy! haha
Slingshot's voice is powerful and sexy and his music is wonderful.
One song that I can remember is the song “Berbice Girl”. His music
makes you homesick. You must listen to it. Ow man when he sings
the words "Beautiful Guyana" - it makes me tear up everytime!!
Nice love ballads and ting too. Check it out!
Slingshot is real and his lyrics are pretty clean - even when he
loss he pussy cat! - No falseness in him and quite a sense of
humor. His wife works with him and that I love - the family
togetherness which is portrayed on his website and in his music
makes them winners...like "Beautiful Island Girl...Oh YES!!

me to start such a program. It's now international and very

Slingshot,
What a name! How come you make such a choice? Let me guess.
A slingshot can shoot only a short distance. But think of it, you
always aspire to attain lofty goals in life. Why shoot so low? I
give up.
You have always dedicated yourself to music. As long as I know you
were strumming your guitar until you master the instrument. Today
I am impressed with your music. I am not surprised at all. You
always have it in you.
Keep on strumming. I hope I am using the word ‘strumming’
correctly. The musical world may have a different term. You love
music; it is ingrained in you. It is not only a part of you. It is
the whole of you.
Wish you and your family well.

comments: Hey Slingshot, it was very fortunate for me to lay my
hands on all four of your CDs and was pleasantly surprised after
listening to your advancing musical artistry. Listening to your
CDs leads me back to distant memories many years ago to No 63
Village (The Beach House) and under the bottom house of the
Sukhram family - at No 64 Village where I first heard the famous
song “Oh when the saints go marching in”, a rendition you
performed with such virtuosity on the accordion. Though then, I
doubt whether I was able to recognise your true potential in this
field, and I guess, with hindsight, at that time, this was your
idea and a way of entertaining young and naive children such as
myself and friends. Clearly you have now moved forward in a truly
meaningful way and fully entitled to all the applauds in your
direction. From myself and my family to you we extend richly
deserved compliments for your achievements. Additionally, I can
see your musicals contributions are clearly devoted to Guyana and
its people throughout the globe. All the best and keep up the good
work.

Hi John…
[…] I had a first look at the DVD music, scenery, and was
pleasantly surprised with the presentation etc. You obviously
excel in this musical kind of environment and seem to enjoy what
you are doing. It leads me once again to agree with my view of you
being the only Drepaul hogging the internet globally. And all of
this due to something you are happy and comfortable with. Keep up
the good work and you will achieve all the benefits you deserve.
On a more positive note … does this not give you personal
satisfaction that you got to where you are all on your own?
I have picked out one or two scenes of interest i.e. the No. 63
Beach and a part of No.66. […] Did I notice part of the scenery
was Kilmarnock, and the grandparent's place was partially in view?
[…] I did however recognise Neville Budhan. Still looks the same
facially no doubt older. Was Shamboy in any of the clips? I do not
know if I could recognise him. […]

Hi Everyone,,
John Drepaul, known as Slingshot, brought the audience to life
with one of his electrifying performances with a variation of soca/calypso
improvisation hits during the launching of George Maharaj's book
entitled "The Roots of Calypso" at the L'Amoreaux Community Centre
in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada on July 4th.
It was indeed a smashing performance by Slingshot, and from the
reaction I saw from the crowd everyone was having a swinging time..
It was certainly a pleasure to meet John in person.

Hi Slingshot,
I'm soooooo glad to hear from u, at least I feel good about it.
[…] .... hope to hear from u more often. I'm "too blessed to be
stressed" and I think that it should be likewise with u. Ur songs
r so very touching and from the depths of the heart. I love them.
I live in Campbellville, Georgetown, Guyana and I really really
enjoy ur music videos. It comes directly to my home via
television. I'm promising myself everyday to get the cds with ur
videos sometime when I remember. I love to sing but that is just
not a talent of mine. Some are just fortunate to have that talent,
so count urself fortunate. Just keep up the good works ok and
bring some joy into homes and lives of Guyanese.
All the best.
Christine

comments: Hi,
[…] I do miss the Guyanese people and the songs etc. I am always
trying to relive those memories but it is difficult...when there
is not many Guyanese where I live. […]
I can relate to the name "Slingshot". I am orginally from Berbice
(Seawell). […] I left in the late 1970s and have returned several
times ...the last in 1999. And I did visit the famous # 63 Beach!!
There!! There!!
All the best with the music!

Hey Slingshot,
I really, really do love your music. Presently, I'm looking at
your music videos and enjoying every moment of it. What I admire
most about you and your songs is that you put ALL your heart into
it. Keep up the good works. My regards to you, your wife Ingrid
and your beautiful little daughter!
God bless you as you lift up Guyana.
