The people in the village were really friendly to us. I didn't know what to expect. They speak Ewe. I would say yeah, okay, because I didn't understand what they were saying. One lady put her hand on my shoulder and said, 'you are supposed to respond like this'. Afterwards I was all excited because I was able to greet everyone. I felt like I was part of the village.

I really enjoyed the village because I think it was an excellent opportunity to see the culture and everything,

We are trying to get them thinking of having a technical school there, ... We want to help with that as well. I feel that as a human being if you see other people no matter who they are that need help, it would be inhumane not to offer some assistance. It can only work out for the betterment of Africa and Bermuda as a whole. I love the country and the children. I will definitely back.

[Besides the electric light poles, the group saw several ways that they could help the village.] What I learned was a lot of the people die unnecessarily of simple things, especially malaria, ... We have a project in place now where we are trying to help them to develop a malaria clinic to deal with that. Malaria causes a lot of pain and suffering for the people. We are also trying to help them to be more self-sufficient.

It'll be important for us to come back and finish the record after the tour. Playing for so many people, it's an opportunity not a lot of people get. You got to be smart about it.

There was good chemistry between us and I think we formed a good partnership together, with her being the gutsy, working woman and me being the sort of guy who stays at home mending watches and evolving into another level of man, as it were.
