Hello Mr. Slingshot!
Greetings to you from Guyana! I heard you performing for the movie
Guiana 1838. My friends and me will be there, so please sing ‘Bourda
Market’ for us. Ok? My mom just love that song cause she sells in Bourda
market.
Good luck to you, Sling!

Dear Slingshot,
Where can I get “Welcome to Guyana” CD to buy? I love “Bourda Market
Tonic” and know it will do very well on Mash Day. When are you coming
back? I would like you to meet my best friend. She is dying to meet you.

Thank you

John,
Last night I went to a cook-out at my son's home and brought along your
CD and would you believe it another young man told me he saw a video
with your music??
Can hardly wait to see my photo on your website ;-)
Here's my sister Sarah's phone number […] Her son's name is Romeo. He is
the kid who introduced me to your music and he wants so much to become a
singer. It would be an honour if you could visit with them.
Enjoy your stay in Guyana, sure wish I could also make that trip ;-)

Hi there Slingshot
Did a bit of reading from your abb.biography and found it quite
interesting........one of your young days photos looked a bit like
Ritchie Valens (Donna, La Bamba etc.) Did you get your inspiration from
Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass song "the lonely bull" (by naming your then
band "the lonely bulls") :-)
Does your house on 63 beach still exist? Sorry, dont mean to pry but I'm
just a curious person in a positive way :-))
And finally, where is Etwaria today?????:-)
You r truly a fine example of what a person can make of their lives...as
I'm sure it was not easy growing up "alone"
You do deserve only the best.....as another mighty Guyanese (BR) said "
The mighty Slingshot wonder product of our soil... he is the man that
brought you the Tropical waves. His songs is sold everywhere Guyanese
settles".
Even more good wishes for you and your family J.D. Slingshot!
Have a great time in Guyana!!!!!! And silly as it sounds have a rum &
coconut water for me :-))
Best regards from Patty

I know this brilliant Guyanese singer. I saw Slingshot at some Mash
competitions in GT. He has class! He is no ordinary musician. Them
Guyanese on Liberty Avenue in New York play his songs. You can hear his
lyrics as you do window shopping along Liberty Avenue.

This guy is fantastic with a lot of talent a good example for the youth
of our country, one thing, he hasn't forgotten his roots, We are a
blessed Nation indeed, I was listening to some of his music and well,
got a bit homesick, remembered my youth days when we all used to jump up
and dance to the soca bands, and the steel pans, behind my school,
Dolphin, had some youths that used to practice every afternoon, it seems
like it was only yesterday, surely these good times didn't just come to
GO away like that, gotta squeeze a Little more outta this.....

Ever think about putting out some music here in Brasil? You know they
like new things especially in the Music dept. It would be sooo nice to
see a Guyanese raking all them Brazillian Real. It`s two for one against
the greenback. So think about it. Could even help get an agency to
promote u here, soca is big here, and you got the real thing!!! Don`t
think too long …ok....?

Hey Slingshot I don't know if you remember me but I would like another
copy of the first two CD's you made.
I think they were in Berbice. Could you please e-mail me back and let me
know if you would be able to mail them to me.
I have been doing good. I am a junior in high school now and I’m getting
ready to go to college to pursue a career in criminal justice or
psychology.
Please get back with me ASAP.

Hi Slingshot,
Hope all is well with you.
No doubt you have lots of not only Guyanese fans but West Indians also.
In your approach to the art form you have developed a style and a form
that is propelling you through the musical arena. Some of your works
could be considered not only present day but more so, timely.
Guyana is going to be there for you.
Go for the Double Crown!
All the best
Cecil.
