CROP OVER 2013!!

Did my second report live to Kaiso Rising this morning after only a few hours sleep because the results of the Barbados annual Crop Over Calypso Monarch Semi-Finals Competition at Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex came in about 2:15 a.m. and I like to tune into CHRY from about 6 a.m. although my report is at 9 a.m. Gave listeners the following results of who will be the Finalists for the Pic-o-de Crop Calypso Competition at Kensington Oval on Friday August 2 at 8 p.m.:
Serenader, Mr. Dale, and TC from De Big Show Tent

Aziza, and Sir Ruel from House of Soca Tent

Blood from Headliners Tent

Ian Webster,Chrystal Cummins-Beckles, Adrian Clarke, and Colin Spencer from Cave Shepherd All Stars Tent

The reserve is Smokey Burke from All Stars

I also spoke about the annual READ IN which will take place tomorrow Sunday at Foursquare Distillery and Heritage Park, in St. Philip, the Visual Arts at the Grande Salle, Central Bank, Soca Royale finalists, and the Junior Calypso Monarch Finals at Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium tonight!!
