EARL RICHARDS: What do you think about the PAN RAMAJAY AJUDICATORS allocating only 5 (FIVE) POINTS for TONAL QUALITY?

Earl: When I am looking at a PAN SHOW like this (especially with MAKESHIFT HOME STUDIOS) I am placing 40% of my appreciation on TONAL QUALITY. I want to hear THE INSTRUMENT -- LOUD and CLEAR riding above the ACCOMPANIMENT and I want CLEAN, CLEAR, CR

INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY UPDATE: Due to the number of participants, the decision was taken not to broadcast the preliminary stage of the competition as the duration would be very time consuming ...

Well I think that they should RETHINK this broadcast CHANGE -- or at least set up a PLATFORM where EVERY ENTRANT could be showcased -- FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. Personally, I am willing to give a 15-second listen to every CONTESTANT because I am judging

WHEN STEEL TALKS is very DILIGENT in terms of FEATURING YOUNG FEMALE PAN PLAYERS ... I would like to encourage some of these WOMEN IN PAN to integrate the PAN SYNTHESIZER in their PAN JOURNEY ...

... outside of PANORAMA in TRINIDAD, this is the FUTURE of PAN MUSIC. So I would advise some of these YOUNG FEMALE PAN PLAYERS to start incorporating PAN SYNTHESIZERS into their THINKING when it comes to PRODUCING PAN MUSIC. (Well I am talking about

I like the idea that they let the E-PAN in on the PANOGRAMA COMPETITION ... but I don't like the restrictions they put on it ...

Use of the E-Pan 

The use of traditional pans is encouraged however, pannists will be allowed to use the e-pan under the following conditions:

• Only the steelpan tone will be permitted

• Striking chords of more than two (2) notes is prohibited

• The se

DAVID and JOHANN did a great pioneering job with INDIGISOUNDS ... but now they need to GO THE FULL DISTANCE!!!

It is remarkable that these two LOCAL BOYS went this far in joining the world of DIGITAL PAN. But they stopped short in really looking for the GLOBAL PAN TONE that is yet to be "VIRTUALIZED".

But I have to give them a lot of credit for JOINING THE G

Could an EXPAT ("IMMIGRANT" -- Russell Providence giving me a headache with that word) or FOREIGN PAN PLAYER win FIRST PLACE in any of the INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY COMPETITION CATEGORIES?

My answer is: NO!!!

Over SEVEN MILLION VIEWS INTERNATIONALLY!!! MOLLEE could WIN THIS if it is REALLY AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION!!! Now I think that the PANS she is PLAYING is TWO GARBAGE PANS -- so if she gets TWO GOOD PANS ... LORD HAVE MERCY
