  • To those that mock and laugh at the idea of pan on the road,ask yourself the question what are we going to do with the steelband? when you find the answer please let me know.

    • Well, it might come like America!!! As the PANS IN SCHOOLS PROGRAMS proliferate there will be very little need for STEELBAND YARDS as the STEELBANDS will exist in the schools. (YOUNG PEOPLE TING AND TIME.) The next thing is that I think the Traditional Steelbands have become DINOSAURS. So people have to start thinking about reducing the size of the bands. Put some E-PAN BASS in the back of the bands for one thing and remove all those big OIL DRUMS from the stage.

      But I also say that if you have the RIGHT LEADERSHIP in PAN TRINBAGO we could get PAN back on the road. But it cannot be THE CIP and PAN MEN. You have to get past the RACE THING (ah thought every creed and race find an equal place -- except in running PAN TRINBAGO) and put some connected BUSINESS PEOPLE to run PAN TRINBAGO.

      The economy eh coming back NO TIME SOON so the GIMME GIMME have to take a backseat until then and people have to get creative with the STEELBAND TING.

      Now me and KEITH DIAZ are agreed on how to make PAN PROFITABLE but THE GOVERNMENT cannot move in that direction because they will LOSE VOTES. Even though crime will drop down to almost nothing!!! Well, the last thing this government want is crime dropping down to nothing and tens of thousands of EXPATS starting to come back home and stirring up things with their foreign ideas. So a high crime rate is crucial to political survival.

      It is all very complex and tied together!!!

      • Cecil: Ah tell you this morning that "the Traditional Steelbands have become DINOSAURS."

        Antigua and Trinidad and New York and Grenada all caving in to economic pressures.

        And it is not about "THE POLITICS OF RACE" in Antigua and Grenada and New York as it is in TRINIDAD!!!

  • The CIP reminds me of a prisoner coming up for parole!!! Now, to get parole you have to admit to the crime and show remorse and convince the board that you are reformed and that you will be a GOOD CITIZEN upon your release. But you pleaded "NOT GUILTY" and maintained that stance for years; so to suddenly tell the board that you were lying all the time and now you are ready to admit that you are indeed GUILTY is quite a predicament.

    Well the CIP say that they are NOT INTO POLITICS. But they have a POLITICAL MANIFESTO and they going around collecting signatures to remove a POLITICAL APPOINTEE. And they have a whole team lined up to take over the POLITICAL LEADERSHIP of his organization once they dethrone the CURRENT PRESIDENT.

    It is time for the CIP to come before the 180 STEELBANDS in Trinidad and admit to them that they have been LYING on the WHEN STEEL TALKS FORUM and saying they are NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. Admit to being a POLITICAL ORGANIZATION and start your political campaign to replace KEITH DIAZ in October 2018.

    Simple enough!!! Political Integrity!!!

    But some say that MONEY is the Mother's Milk of politics and I don't know how the CIP is going to finance this campaign buying beers for 180 steelbands and giving them NEW PANS and pocket change and promising more to come.

    Ah have to bet on KEITH DIAZ!!!

    • The CIP reminds me of a prisoner coming up for parole!!! Mr. clawed way the hell you dose get these thing from. lol.

      • Ah have ah good heart!!! So at one time I used to visit prisoners in San Quentin prison as an act corporal mercy .. you and DOCTOR DELIGHT making meh TURN UP all kinda cards tonight!!!

        Now doh do like PINK PANTHER and MISREAD MEH POST, EH and think that I was just released from prison on parole!!!

        I love MISPRINT!!!

          • Ah write the  CIP MEN have NO HOPE

            They PRINT the CIP MEN on DOPE

  • Cecil you know this is a Ole Talk Forum,so don't execp to hear what you want to hear here.
    CIP eh plan to take over nothing from the present Executive.......I repeat ...CIP eh plan to take over PANTRINBAGO!.....so I hope that relievies you from your dilemma.

    CIP is hopeful that Pan people would agree to NEW governance structures,with capable personnel. Some of the ideas Aquil have posted on these pages ,but readers have chosen to ignore,or have forgotten due to their busy shedules,or it didn't have the required amount of Bacchanal for their taste.

    If you guys want us to interact with you all,you all must at least show some respect by reading and comprehending what we have posted.....If anyone had questions,suggestions etc they were invited to submit same,(Let mih hail out BUGS here) otherwise some may think you all just here to mamaguy people,with Trini Ole Talk,the X- Pat Version 3.0.

    Again, CIP advocates doesn't presume to have all the answer,to the myraid problems.
    Our hope is to stop going downhill and drive the Pan forward using the best possible resources available.
    In Pan.
    • oswald, thank GOD, but I 'm somewhat baffled here,you all was calling for the executive to step down the other day if they do so today what will be the position of the pan fraternity in the Mecca?
