bugs: The comment you made about ANDY being a better PIANO PLAYER than a PAN PLAYER hit such a PROFOUND CHORD with me -- you can't imagine!!!

All I can say is that YOU should be helping to PRODUCE PAN MUSIC down in TRINIDAD because you really have an EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING of MUSIC and PAN MUSIC!!!

Just for the record, the first time I saw ANDY NARELL perform LIVE in SAN FRANCISCO (circa

CECIL HINKSON: If you want me to jump on this BEVERLEY BANDWAGON you have to get me a PRO and a NEW ERO ...

Cecil:Those are the TWO MOST CRITICAL JOBS in the ORGANIZATION; since they both could bring in considerable revenue with the right appointments. That PAN TRINBAGO PLATFORM has a lot of UNUSED POTENTIAL -- but it just CANNOT BE ABOUT PANORAMA ONLY.

Marcus Ash: As the de facto PRO of PAN TRINBAGO you should come on THIS FORUM and give us a report on your EXECUTIVE'S accomplishments to date (One Year Anniversary)!!!

Some people are saying that you all just have a PANORAMA EXECUTIVE and nothing else is getting done. So please come on and give us the FIRST ANNUAL REPORT of the progress of the BEVEREY RAMSEY-MOORE EXECUTIVE.

And, Marcus, we need to start grooming a

MARCUS ASH: Yuh EXECUTIVE under PRESSURE, boy!!! You need to come and give us some updates!!!

Marcus: How allyuh could make an obvious blunder like that and not have AH PIECE AH PAPER for the MEMBERSHIP TO READ and get a little idea of the FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Look, the "PAN HAVE NO SEASON" PANORAMA start and NOBODY eh even TALKING ABOUT THAT

After ONE YEAR in OFFICE Beverley eh lift a finger to remove this EYESORE ...

Bertel Gittens put up all kinds of POSTINGS trying to address this issue -- to no avail. All BEVERLEY care about is PANORAMA and PANORAMA in TOBAGO and the PAY PER VIEW PROCEEDS that THE EXPATS are going to provide, even though we could expect more G

Is "THE IRON" dead (or dying) in the MODERN STEELBAND?

It is true that EARLY RICHARDS is writing a CALYPSO titled "SHE WANT MORE IRON IN THE BAND" but I have been running into a few comments here and there that lead me to believe that THE IRON (Vehicle brake drums, or “irons,” played “braided” (interlock

CECIL HINKSON: If you had to PICK one PAN PLAYER from the TRINIDAD WORLD OF PAN to represent PAN GLOBALLY in the way that ANDY NARELL does, who would you PICK?

You don't have to restrict your choice to TRINIDAD -- THE PLAYER could be from NEW YORK or LONDON or EUROPE or CANADA. But you have to remember that PLAYING THE PAN is only like 50% of the JOB REQUIREMENT. THE PLAYER has to bring a whole BUNDLE OF CH

Once again I want to say that MARCUS ASH and BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE should HOOK UP with MICHAEL C. SMITH from BOSTON CARNIVAL VILLAGE ...

I think that MICHAEL C. SMITH and ARTHUR TRAVERSO are TRUE EVOLVED GLOBAL LOVERS of STEELBAND MUSIC and THE CULTURE; and they could be of CONSIDERABLE HELP to the GLOBAL PAN CULTURE -- interfacing with PAN TRINBAGO.

Now, I have never met or spoken to

It takes much more than being able to PLAY A PAN to become a GLOBAL AMBASSADOR for PAN -- SO MUCH MORE.

Of the 8000 PAN PLAYERS in TRINIDAD, I don' think any one of them could live up to the rigors and requirements of representing THE PAN GLOBALLY. And though the QUALIFICATIONS are not STATED, they are IMPLIED on a number of LEVELS.

An EXPAT from NEW Y

BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE needs to learn how to TAKE IN FRONT before IN FRONT TAKE BEVERLEY ... Earl Richards and Cecil Hinkson need to give her some LESSONS ...

Yuh see, BEVERLEY grew up in a CULTURE OF SECRECY -- but that is NOT going to work in TRINIDAD. She thought that NOBODY did not have the AUDIT REPORT and she hiding her copy thinking that NOBODY will ever see it. Well, allyuh see WHAT HAPPEN.

And now

Is it TRUE that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE represents THE STEELBAND HIERARCHY and NOT the MEMBERSHIP?

I was reading a posting that said: "There must be an organization that represents the players before [Pan Benefits could accrue to THEM].

Now, from EVERYTHING I have read recently, BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE was representing the BEST INTERESTS of the PAN

BUGS: You talking to THE RIGHT MAN. Aquil Arrindell is finishing up work on his RECORDING STUDIO down in the SOUTH ...

... and once he starts RECORDING some PAN MUSIC in 2020, I will make sure that he RUNS EVERYTHING (PAN MUSIC) by YOU before he releases. We taking things in WE OWN HANDS and we don't have to sit down and wait for PAN TRINBAGO.

At the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of THE BEV and TEAM REBUILD, I think that they should send an EMISSARY on THIS FORUM to do a little QUESTION and ANSWER about their PERFORMANCE after the FIRST YEAR ...

We all know that they have a FEW CRITICS on THIS FORUM.

(Ah still vex with MARCUS ASH, EH!!! Because he named RUSSELL PROVIDENCE the NUMBER ONE CRITIC OF PAN TRINBAGO -- ABOVE ME!!!)

Sometimes in life -- you just CANNOT WIN A HAND ... but I accept th

CECIL HINKSON: Ah doh like how yuh running your STEELBAND MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS. Yuh think PAN is just about MUSIC THEORY?

Cecil Hinkson: Yuh well rile meh up with that ANDY NARELL conversation ...

Allyuh know that they have a PAN MUSEUM in GUYANA (a "one-man" operation)?

Martin Maitland once said on THIS FORUM (echoing my sentiment) that you do not need TEN and TWELVE people on a BOARD or EXECUTIVE to get things accomplished. Small groups of TWO or THREE could get together and ACCOMPLISH A WHOLE LOT. But that is NOT

Well ah hear that AQUIL ARRINDELL and GREGORY LINDSAY about to collect their APPEARANCE FEES -- so dem two fellahs more quiet than ever!!!

Dem two fellahs really lead me down the BRIAR PATCH calling themselves REVOLUTIONARIES and DEFENDERS of PAN PLAYERS. But once BEVERLEY win the ELECTION -- dem two fellahs went SILENT and looking for HANDOUTS FROM THE BEV.
