Come Sing with Ti Netty

Over the years I have grown tired of choirs and cultural groups singing the same folk songs over and over. Being a lover of folk songs and having learnt so many throughout my lifetime, I thought it was time to stop complaining about the overused folk songs and document some of those that I had learnt from older folks. People like James Murray of Pembroke, J.D. Elder of Charlotteville, Lifroy Moses of Canaan, Vernon Dennis of Mason Hall, Adolphus "Boyo" James of Patience Hill, Margaret Bobb of Plymouth, Kelvin "Django" George of Scarborough, Daphne Cuffie and Fitz-James Williams of Trinidad (all deceased) and Rollins Bacchus of Culloden. Tobago. It has been a pleasure for me to embark on this project, as I believe it is long overdue in our cultural environment. I asked myself, does it make sense going back to my Maker with all these songs in my head? The answer is no. So, I present to you this book, Come Sing with Ti Netty.
