Well it look as if MEH PARDNER RUSSELL PROVIDENCE lead me down the BRIAR PATCH because ah just read that the MEDIUM BANDS PANORAMA FINALS is scheduled for DWIGHT YORKE STADIUM (TOBAGO) Sat Feb 15 2020

Now I know that RUSSELL PROVIDENCE is a TECHNICAL MAN, so he is sure to point out the use of the word "TENTATIVE" in the announcement. And as a man who understands the ART OF THE POLITICAL BLUFF -- I am still tempted to stay on the  RUSSELL PROVIDENC

Mercer Ramdoo, I want you to help me to analyze this short sentence: “So far, that is on.”

Now Mercer, THE SPEAKER usually expresses herself in a pompous and arrogant style using superlatives to describe her every thought and deed. And the "it" that is being addressed here is a HISTORICAL STEELBAND EVENT which has never been attempted befo

TIME to TURN THE PAGE on FOREIGN PANORAMAS and focus on PANORAMA 2020 in THE MECCA. But first I want to call on BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE to call a PRESSER and APOLOGIZE to DOCTOR DOLLY ...

... and the PNM for her UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR during the CARIFESTA CELEBRATIONS. I have been calling for this APOLOGY since last week and BEVERLEY is yet to READ THE POLITICAL CARDS and do what is BEST FOR PAN -- APOLOGIZE to DOCTOR DOLLY and THE PN

Is SOLO HARMONITES a TOWN BAND? I am looking at the PAUCITY of PANORAMA WINNERS from OUTSIDE OF TOWN!!!

(I stand to be corrected here!!!)

But only 4 STEELBANDS from outside of PORT-OF-SPAIN ever WON PANORAMA (LARGE BAND).

GUINNESS CAVALIERS

HATTERS

EXODUS

NUTONES

So what makes the TOWN BANDS win almost EVERY YEAR?

But the same pattern does not seem to

PANORAMA HISTORY: For the first time in the HISTORY OF PANORAMA a "LOCAL WHITE BOY" has been hired to arrange for a BIG TEN BAND!!!

Before everybody jump on my back and terrorize me, this opinion was sent to me by one of my data suppliers and I have no choice but to voice it or lose a PRIMARY SOURCE -- ON THE GROUND!!!

As you all know, I am not into THE PANORAMA TING -- but at he

Well i could see why BEVERLEY would be TENTATIVE when presenting a DRAFT CALENDAR for the 2020 PANORAMA SCHEDULE -- even though she has only TWO CRITICS

BEVERLEY has been getting PLENTY LICKS of late. And, to be honest, right now she is SPOOKED and PETRIFIED because THE PRESIDENCY has proved TOO CHALLENGING for her. But if you want to get into the psychology of the "DRAFT CALENDAR" -- she knows that

PANORAMA is the OPIATE of PAN PEOPLE and BEVERLEY knows that so she is extending the PANORAMA SEASON to FOUR MONTHS to tie up PAN PEOPLE HEAD ...

... now last I heard, she had not paid MANY STEELBANDS their APPEARANCE FEES FOR 2019 as yet. But these players are already lined up to play for PANORAMA 2020 for FREE while $60,000,000 just disappeared from PAN TRINBAGO over the last 10 years.

PAN MONTH and (CARIFESTA 2019) is OVER and as we head to an EARLY PANORAMA 2020 -- the BATTLE between BEVERLEY and NYAN is ON!!!

I have always used DR. DOLLY'S name in a FORMAL FASHION on THIS FORUM.

(But Russell Providence came on here and said that her GOOD FRIENDS and FAMILY and INNER CIRCLE call her "NYAN".)

So in this UPCOMING WAR OF THE PAY BACK with BEVERLEY and NYAN, I

Well my NEW YORK ARRANGER strayed too far from PANORAMA FIRST BASE and got PICKED OFF by the JUDGES ...

... but in the end I felt sorry for THE PLAYERS. They had HIGH EXPECTATIONS but with that EXPERIMENTAL RHYTHM-ORIENTED ARRANGEMENT ... they were lucky to beat a CONVENTIONAL ARRANGEMENT like THE PHILLY CHEESE STEAK BAND.

Is best MEH ARRANGER stay in
