Beau Brummels guitarist Declan Mulligan was born April 8, 1938, and raised in Clonmel, County Tipperary, a hilly, wooded region of Ireland. Dec played the melancholy harmonica bars at the beginning of the Brummels' 1965 hit "Laugh, Laugh." After completing college in 1960, Dec lived for a couple of years in Toronto to learn the insurance trade in expectation of an eventual return to his native Ireland. In 1962 he transferred to the San Francisco office of Fireman's Fund. One evening in the spring of 1963 Dec went to an Irish dance at Richmond Hall, an auditorium on Clement Street in San Francisco. On stage that night were three performers: guitarist-composer Ron Elliott, singer Sal Valentino and drummer John Petersen. They met, of course, and, with the addition of bass player Ron Meagher, formed the Beau Brummels -- thereby pre-empting Dec's insurance career plans. Although television hadn't been available in the region where Dec had grown up and BBC radio was out of range, he was able to receive Radio Luxembourg, which on Sunday nights relayed the U.S. Armed Forces Network’s broadcast of the top 20 tunes. "It was a thrill to hear American accents. That’s where I heard a lot of the early rock and roll, songs by the Everly Brothers, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley," Dec told us for our first book, "Echoes of the Sixties" (http://www.editpros.com/echoes_ebook.html).

*sighs* sometimes I hate the domino effect, many actions, many events in this life, push everything towards one ultimate goal, one event triggers another triggers another. Now we all sit in dreary darkness, in endless abyss, with nothing but our own company to keep. We have all lost this night

To the very limited extent that any Westerner after Goerge F. Kennan was responsible for the demise of the Soviet Union, Mathias Rust did more than all the politicians put together. They fell because their own elite lost faith that their system was justified and so would not defend it. Just like the Ancien Régime exactly 200 years earlier in France.

BACCHANAL JAMAICA’S LE MASQUERADE SEASON CULMINATES WITH REVELRY, LONGER ROAD MARCH
(Kingston, Jamaica–April 8, 2013) – As the sun began pelting down on a beautiful and bright Sunday morning, thousands of colourfully-clad masqueraders took to the streets of Kingston yesterday for the finale of what is being called the best bacchanal season yet. Bacchanal Jamaica’s 25th anniversary season, themed “Le Masquerade” came to a close with its Road March and costume display that wound its way from the home of bacchanal as far as West Kings House Road and back to the new home it has occupied for two years.
Shortly after 10:00 a.m., revelers outfitted in ‘pretty mas’ costumes with intricate make-up and body painting designs, jewels, studs and glitter, began the road march spectacular that would continue well into the evening. Men and women in costumes sponsored by Digicel, Pure Country, Appleton, Ammar’s, Smirnoff, Jamaica Observer and FAME 95FM, ‘chipped’ on the road to music from the various music trucks featuring some of Jamaica’s and Trinidad’s top disc jocks including The Dynamic Dragons, DJ Richie Ras, DJ Kurt Riley, DJ Smoke, DJ Private Ryan, DJ Duchess Alicia, DJ Arif Cooper and DJ Myles. Adding to the excitement and the energy of the day was the participation of local and Trinidadian performers who ‘jumped’ alongside revelers and gave rousing mini-performances of their hits throughout the day. Destra Garcia, Shurwayne Winchester, Super Jigga TC, Beenie Man, Flippa Mafia and Machel Montano could be seen having a grand time with their fans as many onlookers strained to capture their favourites on camera. Other celebrities spotted including Usain Bolt, Yendi Phillips, Kadine ‘Ms. Kitty’ Hylton and Tifa.
And it was not only revelers who ‘palanced’ and gyrated to the soca beats; many onlookers crowded the route to catch a glimpse of the excitement as truck after truck passed blazing the best of soca, then and now. The longer Road March route travelled past many residential and commercial districts including New Kingston, Trafalgar Road, Hope Road and Constant Spring Road, providing an opportunity for many to participate, if only briefly, in the Le Masquerade action. The young and young at heart caught the fever and provided much eye candy as they seemingly competed for attention with their dancing displays. And as the parade drew closer and closer to Mas Camp, many could be heard reminiscing on past events, wishing for more roads to travel and making plans for the 2014 season. Masquerader Zuri Johnson who wore the Frenchmen t-shirt costume shared, “This was my first time on the road and I have no regrets. I absolutely had the best time, the vibe was right, the music was at its finest. What more could I ask for? I have no complaints except that my feet hurt but well worth it, and I am looking forward to next year.”
The executives of Bacchanal Jamaica extend heartfelt thanks to title sponsor Digicel, who saw the vision and took on the challenge for another successful year. Bacchanal Jamaica also thanks sponsors Smirnoff, Heineken, Red Stripe Light, Appleton, Pure Country, Jamaica Observer, Ammar’s, RJR Communications Group, Fruit Jazz Punches, Nabisco, Lucozade, Dentyne Ice, Kelloggs, Jamaica Tourist Board, KSAC, Knutsford Court Hotel, Ambucare, Carreras, Red Bull, Sparkles Productions, Facey Commodity, Pepsi Music, Aqua Essential, KFC, Kingston Ice, GlaxoSmithKline, Securipro, KingAlarm Systems, GNC Jamaica, Domino’s Pizza, Proven, and The Vault. Special thanks also to all the disc jocks and artistes who thoroughly entertained at each event. To all local and overseas fans, new and loyal, Bacchanal Jamaica extends sincerest gratitude for keeping bacchanal alive in Jamaica.
