Merchant told me that he had christened Maestro "Heels" because one night Maestro was performing at the Revue Tent, Princess building in POS and one of Maestro's heels came off and not for hell Maestro will somehow come off stage and/or take off the other shoe. Maestro was hopping up and down his whole performance the audience went wild seeing this short man hopping. He was encored a millions times and returned each time to give his heelless act, his act that night was better than de song!
foreignmovies, an insight bout me where Maestro is concerned. I was 13 when he died & I attending Diego Martin Jr. Sec. I told my mother she have to take me to his funeral or I was running away to go Princes Town. I did not know how to get there but I was going, my mother did not go to work that day evidently she knew that I was serious & she took me to de funeral. My father was there with other Calypsonians, this 13 yr old kid experienced alot at Maestro's funeral, recorded in my psyche.
As a 'southman' myself I have always loved this song! Sweet soca 'badjohnism' at its best!
