Dear Editor,

Last week I did myself what turned out to be a huge favour by attending MegaMart’s wonderfully entertaining media bash in the classy setting of the Terra Nova All-Suites Hotel. Gassan Azan and his team absolutely outdid themselves.

But on an evening that was worth every second I spent there, I must single out the incomparable Beenie Man whose performance and effusive personality reminded me how awesomely talented our Jamaican people are.

Our country is richly endowed with such outstanding talent from one end to the next, whether it’s a Usain Bolt or a Tessanne Chin, or, in this case, a Beenie Man or Fab Five.

I hadn’t seen Beenie Man for a long while, and watching him totally dominate the room and the MegaMart stage for 50 minutes, with a smile the size of Jamaica, reminded me of the fact that he is the thoroughbred of nice guys. He walked into the room and immediately it lit up as he embraced everyone and chatted with great ease and comfort.

Everyone at the bash was talking about him and I want to say congratulations to this entertainer par excellence. My job is to say thank you to the people who keep doing great and wonderful things for Jamaica.
