A word or two about the "Villagers" of Calliaqua, St. Vincent.

The Villagers were a spinoff of the Girl Guide and Boy Scout Troops in Calliaqua and Rathomill that started up in the mid-1950s and were just peaking when Eric Von Schmidt and family touristed nearby in 1962. They were mostly high school educated, middle class (petite bourgeoisie.)

If they had one skill it was partying. Picnics, football, cricket matches, anything for an excuse really. However, lest you get the wrong impression, Villagers were also extremely religious and church acolytes were common. They were also the island's future intelligentsia (clergy, doctors, engineers, lawyers, &c.) but politics and economics typically led them to emigrate to the United States or the U.K after not too long.

If Eric Von Schmidt's "Norma Duncan" is the one I'm thinking of she wasn't so much a folk singer as an activist law student/intern who eventually went on to join the Bar in St. Vincent. Not a Joshua supporter one assumes. This version of events is mostly political gossip, rumour and innuendo. Party chatter not suitable for repeating. Shame really.
