One of my FAVOURITE CALYPSOS of ALL TIME ... lyrically and story telling wise. Musically, Boogsie could have done much better. I am still trying to find out who wrote those lyrics ...
The lyrics to "THIS FEELING NICE" and "SOCOUYANT" are among the best I have ever heard. "TEN TO ONE IS MURDER" also ranks HIGH. But whoever wrote this song is a SOCIOLOGIST GENIUS because the underlying messages are so well embedded in the story ...

I have a new respect for BERTEL GITTENS as he tries to rebrand "STEEL DRUM" to "STEELPAN" ... because he seems to have a COSMIC INFLUNECE as INDIA catches the same backwater fever ... INDIA to“Bharat”

Yes, WE INVENTED THE PAN and NOBODY could play it better than WE!!! But when are we going to learn to PRESENT/PACKAGE THE MUSIC to the world with all our MUSICAL GENIUSES we boast about?
I was making a cursory check on YOUTUBE to see which PAN PERFORMANCES had the most views and the results should serve as a WAKE UP CALL to our (we so talented) SUBJECTIVE PAN COMMUNITY especially since THE GOVERNMENT spends over $100,000,000 a year s

Now, FELICIA JAMES was always a STAUNCH DEFENDER of THE BEVERLEY RAMSE

On its website, PAN TRINBAGO declares itself to be “THE WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF PAN” but there is ZERO CONNECTION between PAN TRINBAGO and the GLOBAL PAN MOVEMENT in ENGLAND and EUROPE and CANADA and AMERICA and JAPAN. In reality, all that PAN TRINBA

I put up this posting on PAN TRIVIA ... a site on which I never post. And I expect it to be deleted by that GESTAPO SITE. So I am putting it up here to make sure that BERTEL GITTENS is shamed for supporting BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE when he knew better.
