If you notice, Californians only sing at the competition in December.

and then you hear nothing about them again until the next competition you know so we we this is our third tent we're putting on so we're kind of keeping them active throughout the year you know it's just you know to get the support now and and we try to get them to be not just be calypso and singing calypso to be an entertainer so you know when you come to the show it's not just sit down and listen to a song, you know, a California common stage, they're going to try to entertain you, you know, so that it's not, we don't want it to be like boring, you know, like in some competition you come, you sing some kind of political song and, you know, we try to, when you look at the Mighty Sparrow, The mighty Sparrow comes on stage and he entertains.

He talks stuff, he sings, he has songs that everybody would be interested in hearing.

And this is exactly what we're trying to create here.

I was like, wow.

Welcome to Coaching Conversation, man.

First off, we want to start off, rest in peace to the legend, the great, the mighty Sparrow.

He passed at 91.

So 91 years, man.

I'm being disrespectful.

Let's do this right.

Rest in peace to the mighty Sparrow, Grenadian-born, Trini-raised, the legend, Calypso artist.

You know what it is? It's bad.

And that, of course, is the great singer Francisco, the man born in Grenada, raised in Trinidad, who became the undisputed king of Calypso.

Talking, of course, about the mighty Sparrow.
