Making white people look black. I still say that when people ask what I do. About five years ago Rudolf and I went to meeting in Lichtenburg. He was explaining what we did, and then it was time for me to talk. I said "we give you more black for your buck." Which was spontaneous, as spontaneous as Rudolf spitting out his coffee because he'd never heard it before.

That's what I do, or at least that's what I say when people ask me what I do. And I am not alone in doing this, it's been going on for years. Jeremy Taylor wrote a funny little ditty that he performed in Wait a Minim in the early 60s. He jokes about whites tanning and blacks using skin lightening creams (a practice that has thank goodness disappeared).
I did promise this song a while ago
06 - Jeremy Taylor - Black And White Calypso
And then there is the old Rolling Stones' song Paint it Black. I have posted a rather twisted version by Guy Mann-Dude who recorded a few albums in the nineties. Guy is a mutual Patto admirer and he and I have been chatting up a storm on Facebook. There is a lot more to Guy than this track but you'd have to ask him to send you his really interesting stuff.
