A youthfull looking Calypso Rose, performed last Wednesday on the Brian Lara Promenade, Port of Spain.At 63, McArtha Linda Sandy Lewis better known as Calypso Rose is big and beautiful, bouncy and confident.She was honoured by the Mayors of Arima and Port of Spain who, respectively, gave her a plaque and the keys to the city.She received the keys to the city of Ontario, Canada from the Mayor of St Catherine in 1993.Here at home, two years ago, she received the Hummingbird Gold.She deserves all the honours and tributes that are now being heaped on her in her homeland however, for this woman is truly a trailblazer who paved the way for all the women everywhere who are now calypsonians.She also danced and chipped constantly, and thrilled a group of visiting schoolgirls and their teachers with a verse and chorus from "Fire In Meh Wire".Dressed in fire bright red, she had them singing along and then signed autographs for the excited group."An uncle lived in Barataria, he had no children and offered to have one of the young Lewis' come live with himself and his wife."She took my hand and said, "you want to come to Trinidad with me?"Rose was nine years old at the time but when the excitement of travelling at that age subsided she missed her siblings.In San Juan Government where her aunt enrolled her, with all the natural callousness of small children and inbred Trini arrogance, her schoolmates called her "small island."But as Rose talks, you can see what her aunt saw and why her heart must have gone out to the skinny little girl, picky head (her words), sucking the middle finger and with an endearing nervous stammer.In her early teenage years she also worked in a palette factory in St James and was a children's nanny to a Chinese family in Woodbrook.Lady Iere was her predecessor but by the time she came into it in the 1950s, singing in a tent was still definitely not the thing for a female.He had long fingers and when he sang, he would curl them into his hands.She also remembers him composing his songs in a most unusual manner."He would take a matchbox and empty all the matchsticks.He would break all the sticks and the lyrics would come out of his head."The first song she sang in the tent and she sings and recalls the words as if it were yesterday was "Glass Thief".She comes from the era in which a calypsonian had to come up with 12 original songs every season and being a talented writer Rose has sung and composed over 800 songs, most of which she can remember and sing verses from on demand.She was also happy to set the record straight on something that is commonly regarded as a fact."Rose who now lives in the US is still intensely proud of her Tobago heritage and she still expresses hurt over an incident that happened in the 1980s, that led to her decision to take up residence abroad.She was a passionate supporter of the NAR and ANR Robinson.All the old vehicles were sent to Tobago.Prior to the 1986 election, Rose had come to Port of Spain to buy some foreign exchange."Eventually someone told me I had to declare all my assets and they spoke to me in a very disparaging way.When they did come out to give me the money, they said "here take your money and go."So that's what she did and its taken her all around the world.She explains that she wrote a lot of calypsoes which put the country on the map culturally.She has toured the Caribbean extensively over the years.Thank Thee" and "Her Majesty".She won the Calypso Qeen titles from 1974 to 1978 and she was honoured by the National Women's Action Committee (NWAC) in 1991.Looking at Rose you can't imagine that she's a cancer survivor, because her strong physique shows no trace of having suffered serious illness."People need to understand how you feel when you find out you have an illness like that.It was in 1996 when I got the news.October 1, 1996, to remove particles of the breast.After the radiation I was depressed, so I went to Haiwai to run away from myself."Home includes her stepdaughter and her five grandchildren and the three brothers who live in New York.Her diet is also chosen with a view to fitness.Lloyd Sandy, 1,000 milligrammes of Vitamin C daily.Today she's glad to see how women have prospered in the art form and two of the women calysonians she admires are Denyse Plummer and Singing Sandra.Calypso Rose inteviewed by Maya Trotz for Jouvay.Trinidad working and Geoff they came down
to do the production for Calypso Dreams and we stayed at the same hotel.They get up early in the morning and go all day and come in just to shower
and back out in the street again.CR: It is a fantastic project.Sparrow sang the calypso "Ten to One is

when she gets on stage like Calypso Rose.Singing Sandra, she is going to win the monarech in her own right.Oh she won the monarch with "Heroes", but she never won the road.There were three young guys that
did my tunes.Double D with Fire in your wire.And then Machel Montano with "What you want?They changed it to " I born
