Needed - 2 shak shak and a dholak

Something not right with Pa-trick.... ah mean, how yuh could justify spending $1 MILLION of taxpayers money to outfit a band?
The band's 28 members - five of them female - included trumpeters, drummers, guitarists, trombonists, saxophonists, percussionists, vocalists and pannists, who will be utilising the new innovation of the tenor G-pan.
I doh kno, I jess duh kno, what de hell kinda dishwater passing for brains in that head. I bet though, if was ah Indian band, this woulda never, ever happen. In fact, I remember Nirmal Gosine BEGGING for funds to take music to the people in his roving chutney tent.

Like the Feroza Ramjohn case, the Maha Sabha radio licence case, the case of a Monteil-ado, CJ/CM face off... there seems to be a different law for the regular folks and another for the cronies of the PNM.
The idea of the band, Manning noted, was to seek to reintroduce dance as an option for young people's recreation.
I doh kno, I jess doh know. After seeing Pa-trick getting his groove on with that teenage gyul, I wonder if this is ah lil con to get a private dance from Danah... dancing for de Lord, or the man who think he is the Lord... ent?

Now before allyuh readers jump dong meh throat, I not against the band itself eh. I support the young people who not into drugs or hanging about in the block with no purpose in life... what I against is the way he gone and do this - with taxpayers money - and then won't do it for anyone else.
...he recalled that his Cabinet colleagues were at first amused by the idea but, after some convincing, they eventually agreed.
That tell me they recognise it for the asinine idea that it is and laugh kiff kiff kiff till he shet dey mouth wid 2 hard bawl...

Ah wonder if we could tro in 2 shak shak, a quatro, a sitar, ah dholak, some tambourine and some monkey.. ah mean some Laventille posse beating dem empty Milo pan to support the percussion side?

Ah kno tonight ah go be dreaming bout dis and wondering how de arse my country fall so bad.
