 TriniView.com - Dimanche Gras
In 1949, although performing as guest artistes, Mighty Skipper, King Pharoah, Lord Invader and Sa Galba were the first calypsonians to sing at the Dimanche Gras show which, curiously enough, held its inaugural steelband competition that year, won by Invaders playing "Its Magic", which earned the Woodbrook band a silver cup and the $50 prize.
The Mighty Spoiler won the brass crown and the Blue Label cup at that first official calypso contest in Dimanche Gras, singing "The Royal Wedding", interestingly, a song that was five years old but timely, as it was also the year of Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
Spoiler took back his crown in 1955 with another old song "Picking Sense Out of Nonsense", this time receiving a silver cup and $50 prize but failed to defend in 1956 as he was on tour.

I do think a box is a good thing, as a spoiler warning is particularly sensitive in its need to stand out.
The generic box template is definitely losing my favor, as I think it's ''too'' generic and trying to solve too many problems at once, but I do think that a simple box around the spoiler warning (and, imho, a subtle, pale background color) is A Good Thing.

When the phenomenal rise and consequent win of the 1956 general election by the People's National Movement (PNM) party dominated calypso lyrics of the following year, Pretender sung an unrelated ditty at the 1957 final.

Indeed, as listeners will discover, the decade offered some of the sweetest and most memorable melodies, predominantly those of Kitchener, Wonder, Panther and the incomparable Spoiler on whom the drama was built.
The show’s title was calypsonian Spoiler’s trademark phrase, of course, and he is one of the play’s main characters, along with Kitchener, Melody, Commander, Pretender, Killer, Panther and Wonder.
This wonderful selection of songs by these calypso greats takes us back to the good old days when serious wit and a massive talent for double entendre and thinly veiled smut were a prerequisite for membership in the calypso fraternity.
