THE GOVERNOR’S LOVER – by Des Kelly Image Source : scontent She was indeed the Governor’s lover, and here is the true story of part of the early history of Ceylon.

“GOLD-FEVER” – by Des Kelly My thanks to Chris.Lawton O.A.M., for sending in yet another remarkable video which actually disproves the fact that we come into this World with nothing, and leave with nothing. This rich dude featured, ensured that he did want more personal jewellery on him, when he went, than anyone else in his Country (I would dare to presume EVERYONE else owned). However, the rest of his wealth left behind, is something to behold. I have never seen this fantastic accumulation of GOLD & JEWELS before (in pictures) & decided that very few of us in fact, have had, either, so please enjoy this video folks & remember that, as each of you grows old, protect yourself from so much gold, gold, gold !!. because you still cannot take MOST OF IT WITH YOU, when you go. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! ...

Gene Watson “Old Roman Soldier” by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ One of the latest recordings of a man who, in my opinion, can sing a “Country Song” that will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who loves the “music” that I always “promote” on eLanka. My sincere thanks to Neil Jayasekera, without whom eLanka would not exist, & you good people would not be able to instantly view these songs that we choose for you with NO financial reasons whatsoever. In this beautiful choice, ...
