Hello I recently came acorss this string by chance and am quite disappointed , [Goanet]Goan Musicians Fausto V. D'Costa Sat, 23 Apr 2005 07:29:01 -0700
Sorry, Lawrence de Tiracol is not a musician, not to humilate him but to put facts straight he will not know the ABCD of music, but may be composing tune naturally like our many tiatrists. ****end******* You are refering to Lawrence De Tiracol A man who has made it his dying wish to keep Konkani music and its tradition alive. A man who spends sleepless nights making music and composing lyrics in Konkani which is non lucrative. A man who has almost detached himself from his family to ensure that he has enough time to devote to Konkani music so that Konkani music is up to present times and standards , without loosing its ethnic charms. A man who has composed more than 25 albums and more than 150 songs and has a natural talent which many Goans appreciate. I can go on and on about this as I personally know him best. I't is no surprise and I am well aware and so is everyone that some individuals who claim to be goan , unfortunately instead of being supportive and encouraging , choose to be mudslingers and judgemental. I would sincerely appreciate that if you Mr Fausto V. D'Costa have nothing to do in your spare time and are out there somewhere trying to bring down our Goans and our talented community brotherin without even knowing them or anything about them, to kindly refrain from any such future comments . Trust me pal, Goans are a small community when it comes to relationships. I would appreciate that Goanet website encourages positive dialogue and refrain from defamation of individuals. In short, stick to your small goa net community and dont defame people who have never even heard of your so called website. I do hope you will send a copy of this to Mr Leo Fernandes too.And feel free to post this on your website too. Cheers Louis Fernandes. P.S And Mr.Fausto V. D'Costa can get in touch with me if in doubt.
