OLDEN-DAYS CLOTHING IN GOA KASHTTI Part 2

Really nice posting Dominic. It took me back to my younger days. During my
young days some one or other would organise a tiatr in the village. The
stage was lit with gas lamps or petromax. The professional tiatrs in
villlages would have mike system where as the ones organised by the church
sometimes had no mikes and we had to strain our ears to hear what they were
saying. Of course the mattos were small in length. Dances were held in the
open. The floor had bamboo mating and the place was lit with petromaxes. The
band consists of trumpet, two saxaphones one banju and violin and the singer
used microphones. This was also the procedure for weddings. The weddings
were always in the after noons.The band always played old numbers like
quando quando, counting colours etc but many times only the music was heard
and the words of the chrooner was never heard.In Saligao usually Merry
Makers and Johnson and his jolly boys were in demand. We youngsters did not
dance for the wedding as we did not have partners and enjoyed sitting close
to the band and watching the movements of the fingering of trumpet and
saxaphone and the notes which we could not understand .We enjoyed the
partners dancing how they moved their legs and their lips too.We anxiously
waited when the music would stop and when we would get our next service.
Usually there were three or four services done. The first was the soup which
we really enjoyed the second was the different types of snacks , the third
was the stew fourth was the pulao with caju seeds and black currants and
sometimes the fifth would be the pudding. Then the bride and the groom in
different directions would move and hand over a piece of cake using a fork.
In between we would visit the bar for a glass of cold drink which was
usually rasberry and sometimes the men folk incharge of the bar would scold
us for coming again and again.
