I first started falling in love with original 1930’s Calypso music in the mid-1980’s, when I found some 78’s and a very full reel of tape containing hours of that era’s version of the genre. It has subsequently become perhaps my very favorite genre of music. And around 2000, I got it in my head to write my own song in that 1930’s style. For whatever reason – probably the realization of just how much time it would take to do it right – I didn’t actually pursue putting together a track and recording it until 2013. The time it took was well worth it, I think; I consider this a lovely tribute and a funny song.
