According to some recent reports I have gotten from TOBAGO -- there is a renegade faction on the PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE that is trying to destroy THE PRESIDENT and wrestle power away from her.

It does not take a lot for a PSYCHOLOGICALLY EDUCATED MAN like RUSSELL PROVIDENCE to tell you that once BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE has a DIME to BOAST ABOUT -- she would be OUT THERE BEATING HER CHEST ...

To All Panists:
Re: Steel Pan Blueprint For Success (Rough Draft Edit)
Hi to all,
Recently, a pan colleague asked me what were my ideas on what needs to be done to “revive the pan movement...” (as he put it). In relation to that question, I though I wou

It BREAKS MY HEART to see BUGS and MERRYTONESTOTHBONE and RUSSELL PROVIDENCE supporting MEDIOCRITY with this PSEUDO-INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA ...
The event was FULLY FUNDED by THE PNM (money eh NO PROBLEM) so why couldn't they hire some competent administrative assistants to alert the BIG BOSSES that the ENTRIES were NOT COMING IN INTERNATIONAL.

I have some FREE ADVICE for the TRINIDAD PAN PLAYERS -- and it comes from a PUBLIC ANNOUNCER who has spent over 50 years reaching the ears and hearts of LARGE AUDIENCES ...
When asked about his key to SUCCESS in the BUSINESS of REACHING LARGE AUDIENCES, this was HIS RESPONSE:

TONIGHT is an INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITY for a PAN PLAYER to MAKE THE PAN TALK ... borrowing from SIMON COWELL: I would like to see PAN have "A MOMENT" TONIGHT!!!
