That MERCER RAMDOO IS A STEELBAND ANALYST: He and I agreed that "GOVERNMENT BOOTS" is NOT A PAN TUNE ...
People DON'T UNDERSTAND the DECAY ISSUE with THE PAN. I BLINDLY understood it from childhood -- although I could not EXPRESS what I was hearing in words.
And, for decades, I kept looking for validation of my view. Then, about two years ago i was rea

Well I have to say that DOCTOR deLIGHT was the MOST EDUCATED poster that I ever saw come on THIS FORUM -- and he comes to mind TODAY!!!
Whenever I talked about being a REAL TRINIDADIAN -- I always got his attention despite his often condescending tones towards me ... which I understand. But I think that he had a clue in terms of the direction I was headed.
But, today (more than ever)

Regarding: The FIVE MILLION DOLLARS that THE GOVERNMENT is putting up with the intent on seeing the country’s national instrument flourish at the global level with input from industry ...
Every so often REASONABLE (and informed) voices add their TWO CENTS to the PAN DEBATE ... and I am always tickled pink.

I have ZERO RESPECT for any PANORAMA ARRANGER who live in AMERICA (and went to MUSIC SCHOOL in AMERICA) and then choose to go down to TRINIDAD and follow the PANORAMA PATTERNS of the LOCAL ARRANGERS
First of all, they could NEVER WIN NO PANORAMA in TRINIDAD -- so why compromise your VAST AMERICAN MUSIC BACKGROUND to try to copy and compete with the INSULAR LOCAL APPROACH to arranging a CALYPSO.
They are better of staying in AMERICA and spending

The level of CORRUPTION that INFILTRATES PAN TRINBAGO and PANORAMA is BEYOND REASON on THE SURFACE ALONE ...
... but it makes me want to DEMAND that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE retract ALL HER PROMISES of TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY and HONESTY that she made during her ELECTION CAMPAIGN. And I know that the PAN COMMUNITY does NOT want to swallow any BITTER PI

A story for CECIL HINKSON and EARL RICHARDS and DENISE HERNANDEZ: During the LAST ELECTION I was accused of being MISOGYNISTIC and TOBAGO HATING ...
... and, to me, those were knee-jerk and shallow interpretations of my arguments. Today, PAN SUPPORTERS are starting to realize that PAN TRINBAGO is NOT READY for no WOMAN PRESIDENT. And that somebody who just came TO TOWN on a BOAT cannot comprehend
