Gilbert, perhaps you meant that JAZZ flourished in Bombay more than in Goa because Goan culture has always flourished in Goa! Our mandos and our tiatros will never die. Jazz was popular with the well heeled 'Bombaywallas' probably because they were exposed to music in English whereas in Goa Konkani and Portuguese music was more appreciated. The article by Naresh Ferandes was excellent - he have us a glimpse into a Bombay we had not imagined. I chanced upon another of his articles TOMB RAIDER -Looking for St. Francis Xavier which can be found at http://www.transitionmagazine.com/online/tombraider.htm Its hilarious and I think everyone will enjoy it. There is a verse or a poem by Eunice de Souza which could have been my old aunt speaking! ---Helga
