Steve~ ~Junkanoo~ a cultural thing there with unknown origins, but definitely an Afro-Bahamian celebration from the past. huge parades are staged in the early hours of December 26, called Boxing Day in The Bahamas and in England and again in the small hours of January 1, New Year's Day. The whole island is involved in one form or another. very much .like Mardi Gras Day in N'Awlins. it is so beguiling, almost every night there is a junkanoo somewhere on the island with the most extraordinarily colorful costumes, goatskin drums, jangling cowbells, raucous horns, the lot. some of the drums have a flame in them, to keep the skins tight. one of our drums got out of control and had to placed down and put out!! i'm sure it was staged, but the crowd reaction was very spontaneous. you've gotten jaded? i'm sorry to hear that, diamonded would have been much bettah :-) kalinga!!!! foxy, i have forsworn shovels
