    Gillena,

    The midnight robber would be someone to fear but your music drives any fear away. I love the bubbly calypso sound! I feel like I'm on the warm sands of an island paradise. Have a doodletastic day!

    I have a friend who plays steel drums who spent six months in Trinidad one year preparing for Carnival. I'll have to ask him if he's heard of the Midnight Robber. I love your distinctly unique digital images you created and your drawing.
