Good morning. It is day #21 of #calypsohistorymonth. Today I feature one of the most loved proponents of the art form, Lord Nelson (Robert Nelson).

My choice from Nelson this morning King Liar is a classic in its own right and the chorus can be heard quoted by Trinis far and wide, at home and abroad.
