Hi John,
CONGRATS>> CONGRATS>> CONGRATS ..... Thanks for sharing your experiences
with the group ... You are certainly a winner in the very true sense of
the word ... you've won the hearts of the people ... Don't try to
recover from the "high feelings" and "success" let it spur you on to
greater goals ... You were up against just about the toughest in your
field and you emerged at the top of the heap ... a tried and true champ
from #63/64 has once again brought success to his family and friends ..
HI Ingrid ... it's all in the Trinidad cooking on de beach ... I'm sure
all at home are very proud of this accomplishment ... You have reached
"ICON" status bro..
Stay connected

Hi John
You've bin giving and giving and giving all your life ... NOW it's time

"PIRATES" and "WHY"... good combination ... Simply an amazing feat ...
You're TOP OF THE CROP bro ... You've just positioned yourself for
another "swing in the ring." ... Special thanks to Ingrid and girls for
their "super support"...

It was great to see you, John, and I wish you and Ingrid continuing

Hi John & Ingrid,
Hope you guys reached home safe and sound. It was a great pleasure
spending last Friday evening with you guys. I had a wonderful time. It's
an honor to have met and enjoyed the evening with John and Ingrid, the
persons, not the artistes.
Here's the write up for Mash Fever that will be featured in the next
issue of The Caribbean Voice newspaper.
“Slingshot's latest CD, Mash Fever, is a must for every music lover.
This CD breaks the boundaries of your typical jump up and wine style
Caribbean music. Full of life, message and character, Mash Fever is a
musical journey of celebration, love, friendship, dedication and of the
socio-political struggles in Guyana. Come take the journey and enjoy the
ride of musical satisfaction.”

Hello Slingshot~

I am extremely proud to read of your accomplishments, your commitment to
the orphanages, and our fellow Guyanese people who are in dire need. My
few words of praise for your efforts can never be tantamount to all of
the hard work you have endured to make each of your projects special and
the most successful. I admire your perseverance in doing the "right
thing" not only as "Slingshot", but as a genuine human being.
Your tenacity to do so much for so many is very impressive to me. Not
many can do what you do, and do it with such courage with never a waiver
to fail. […]
I'm very disappointed that I won't be seeing you in New York, but will
keep hope that it may be one day soon. I so much appreciate your
invitation and your kind words.

Congratulations on your award, good luck and much success to you on Sept
