All Rounder - Innocent Jimmy - AVM (1989)

ALLROUNDER
Real name, Anthony Hendrickson was born on October 17, 1939. His historical career started at ten to ten on the 6th of January 1967 when he performed one of his many hits entitled “My Littler Brother Charlie” composed by his wife, who I must mention decided that his calypso sobriquet be “ALL ROUNDER” for the mere reason that he could have been seen and heard “ALL AROUND.
He proudly recalls that in 1967 the same afternoon, whilst liming and singing, as usual in one of the more popular Barber Shops in the city at the corner of Queen & George Streets, he extempoed a verse, on the Road March king of the world Mr. Aldwyn Roberts “Kitchener” who in turn asked him if he wanted to sing calypso an offered him a job as a calypsonian in his Calypso Revue Tent.
In 1980, he returned to the Calypso Theatre and remained there for ten seasons heading the cast i.e. up until 1989. During this time he won the Calypso King of the world competition held in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, in 1983/1984 respectively Sing Masterpieces such as “BLACKS ABILITY” “MESSAGE TO PARENTS” “THE TALKING BABY” & “WHO STRONGER”, he continued to climb the ladder of success as he was chosen for he first time in 1984 as a finalist in the National Calypso Competition. Singing “The talking baby" and “KEEP FIT” he placed fourth in this prestigious event!
Through the years he has performed at various tents...

The voices have gone to their rest, but their music never wears out. The beauty of the Calypsonians.

These Two Girls Now Women Have Done Soooooooo Much For Kaiso. For Their Looonnnggg Standing Devotion For What Makes Trinidad And Tobago Different From All Other Countrie And Still Doing It.Not The Politicians Neither The Religionists. These Two Women Deserve My Honor.

The Hendrickson sisters always bring Allrounder's kaisos to life. I always loved to hear them sing Chorus for their dad and this Kaiso will remind you of what made them such professional artistes. The Leggo at the end of this kaiso was my favorite part.
So just imagine my surprise (in 2021 eh!!) to discover, I had the lyrics backward all this time. De Jail Bait really wanted Jimmy to "TOUCH" (not "watch) her Kankana. 😁 😆 😅 😂
