>From the latest GoanVoiceUK newsletter. http://www.goanvoice.org.uk Thanks Eddie! FN ------ GOANET: SOME HIGHLIGHTS This is a new section. Please send your comments about it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] There have been fascinating discussions recently on GoaNet. Havovy (Desmond) Fernandes quoted extracts from his acquisition, for a few pence, of a treasure-trove of old books on East Africa from a hospice car boot sale in South London. The extracts have been followed up by other readers with a lively discussion on the (lion) Maneaters of Tsavo and the early phase of the construction of the railway from Mombasa to Nairobi. Fred Noronha posted his latest list of Cybermatrimonials on 10 Oct. It clearly has much value across the globe and it is hoped that it will be expanded further. Tony Barros opened the floodgates on the Goans of East Africa with a very riveting account of some of the contributions of the Tanzania Goans. Cornel DaCosta added to it re the East African Goan legacy in dance music and jazz of the 1950s and 1960s. Several new names appeared in the follow-up postings, hopefully, to encourage someone to produce a book, stimulated by Tony, on this fascinating by-gone era. Gabe Menezes elaborated on some of the early East African Goans and provided fascinating snippets of information, which hopefully, will also be followed up by ethnographic researchers interested in the historical record of so many 'lesser mortals' who helped to build East Africa in its early period. Mervyn Lobo was able to provide helpful current locations of some of the people mentioned in Tony's and Cornel's postings on significant East African Goans. Cecil Pinto forwarded an article by Ethel D’Costa in which she lashed out at the Goa Police authorities for seeking to curb the independence of the Press. This prompted good responses from Goans from Goa and the Goan Diaspora. Dominic Fernandes started a discussion on the best place in Goa to buy Goa sausages. Inevitably, this led to counter claims with information about other outlets for quality Goa sausages.
