'Are there no other Catters with advice about "The Isle of the Devils"?

The closest I have come to Bermuda is St Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Late in the trip, I came across that advice that when dealing with local people, it is very important that each encounter start with a courteous greeting, such as a Hello and a wish for a good day. (Listen and imitate.) People who do not do that are considered yahoos.

Here is an example I heard on a passenger give to a van driver: "Good afternoon, sir, on this beautiful day and a Happy Father's Day to you. Are you driving into _______?"

I strongly suspect the same will be true in Bermuda.

As for local music, in my travels I have generally found that a good place to ask is the desk at a hotel.
