One treating Pan Musicians as professionals, providing timely payments for services rendered another exploiting pan musicians.
“Diaz stated, “A lot of young people don’t realize it. Anytime you want to be a great manager, try
and run a steelband. When you finish, you can run any organization in the world” (Diaz*). Ten
years later in 2009, Keith Diaz was appointed president of Pan Trinbago.
Diaz discussed with me his business skills, which he attributed to the many managerial
roles he has held. He shared an interesting story with me:
Hear how we use to make money at the bar. I use to pay players to come practice, but I
made a rule… every person who comes to practice at night gets paid. So, you can’t come
back and ask for money later in the night because you got money up front for traveling.
During the night they would buy beers. I would even give them a free beer but once you
start, you would want to buy more. The money was recycling (Diaz*).
Diaz’s clever way of giving the players money, and collecting it the same night through the bar,
is an act he is proud of.”
In describing Trump, former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said he knows a con man when he sees one. Rolly Polly sounds like one who took a page out of the gangsta chronicles.
Ah hope GREGORY LINDSAY and POWER STARS coming with their GOOD STUFF. Good song selection; well-tuned pans; controlled drumming; not too much iron in the band; nice arrangements; and fidelity to the original melody.
Ah never hear GREGORY and POWER STARS before but ah lining up tonight to listen to him/them!!!

I simply cannot believe you never heard Power Stars before, maybe you are concentrating on too much Patrinbago politics and little time on Pam Jamming. Well take a little time off from Pan politics and listen to Power Stars posted below.

So Gregory Lindsay gone in front the camera and admit that he DOH HAVE NO BAND -- he does just take players from everybody else band and drill them to play a tune for PANORAMA. And I like how he package the infringement and label it CREATIVITY.
Now I would like to see him come up with some POLITICAL CREATIVITY and move DAIZ and FORTEAU and JOSEPH and SHEPPARD out of office. But that mountain too high for him to climb.
And I thought this BAND SWAPPING THING was just OLE TALK.

They have to try and bring back "Shame" from the dead to add with Character and Values which are on life support in Pan Trinbago.
