Is there any connection between Calypso music and the Calypso of Greek mythology? I don't know if there is, but you'd have to think there would be. When two things have the same name, it's only natural to wonder if they have some sort of connection. I don't know if they actually have one, but it's just something I'm curious about.

Adieu to truly great trailblazer Harry Belafonte (1 March 1927 – 25 April 2023), who’s died aged 96. He was a singer (who popularized calypso music in the 50s), actor of stage and screen, outspoken civil rights activist (on close terms with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr) and – as this vintage pin-up amply demonstrates – a raving beauty.

♫ The Banana Boat Song ♫ (Redux)

I haven’t played this one since 2020, when I rather wore out its welcome by playing it twice that year.  But, the times are dark enough, my usual posts hover under a cloud of gloom, and I thought it best to bring some FUN into the equation!  So, sit back and let the toes tap while you listen to Harry Belafonte sing … This is a traditional Jamaican song that was sung by dock workers who worked…

Today I had one such memory that I thought I might share it.

"average greek sea voyage takes eight months" factoid actually just statistical error. sea voyages around greece are very short. Bad-luck Odysseus, who tripped over a monster every five feet, had to sail in loop de loops around greece to avoid various annoyed deities, and took eleven years to sail 565 miles, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
