This tune brings back some sweet memories. Those were the days when pan was everywhere. We did not receive a lot of money, but our hearts was into it. And to think people still wonder why it is called a steel orchestra. Excellent piece.. Thank you very much WST I deffinitely listen.

Martin, Thank you for acknowledging the names of these players. Everyone who played then was proud of their accomplishment. Now my heart is bursting with pride for the efforts of those early players.

Again, Thanks to WST for continuing to find these treasures and sharing them with us. What a pity that the names of those players are never mentioned.

This is so nostalgic. What a pity only audio recordings were done then.
