Jump in the Line with Harry
I can picture American singer, actor, and activist Harry Belafonte, who made Calypso music popular, dancing down the Milky Way in Calypso style. He died on April 25, 2023, at the age of 96 in NYC, but he leaves us with his fantastic music to be enjoyed by future generations. He is one of the few performers to have received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. In 2022 Belafonte was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Influence category.

Sugar and Honey Sweet Love
Sugar and honey are two terms used as endearment between partners. They are interchangeable and can be used when referring to either females or males. When in love usually it gives the person being addressed a warm all-over feeling that their partner loves them so very much. I remember back in high school a very silly saying that had me and my girlfriends laughing until tears came to our eyes – “sure as the grass grows round the stump, you are my darling sugar lump”. These terms have inspired many songs. Among these one of my favorites is “Sugar Baby Love”. Which is yours?
