BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE keeps trying to convince everybody that STEELBANDS are the solution to CRIME; but we have over 200 STEELBANDS today and crime is worse than ever ...

Even the HIGH BRASS in the POLICE and the MINISTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY throwing up dey hand in the air -- but BEVERLEY trying to convince we that she could solve the problems with MORE STEELBANDS (meaning more subjects and more STEELBAND MONEY for h

There are TWO ASPECTS of GLOBAL PAN that really intrigue me right now: The PROGRESS OF THE PAN SYNTHESIZER and the POTENTIAL OF GUYANA PAN

I spent my whole life (knowingly and unknowingly) waiting to hear that PERFECTLY RECORDED PAN NOTE. And as the PANS got BETTER and BETTER the notes came closer and closer to my dream -- more so L-I-V-E than R-E-C-O-R-D-E-D. But then the DIGITAL ERA c

Cecil: And this is just THE BROTHER, eh. Who very few people know about (JEFF NARREL)!!!

EARLY DAYS

Steel pan was little known outside Trinidad, the island-nation of its invention, in the early 60’s when Rupert Sterling, an exchange student from the Caribbean island of Antigua, arrived in NYC to study engineering. Rupert soon found hims

A TRINIDAD PAN LOVER (A HIGH MAN) who has dedicated his WHOLE LIFE to CULTURE AND PAN is calling for a paradigm shift IN PAN in the week of the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE

With a specific emphasis on a renewed trust in sponsorship!!!

Now if I did shoot up myself with TWO SHOTS OF HEROIN -- I could not get HIGHER than when I read that. Because CECIL HINKSON and all THE BEVERLEY SHEEP have spent the last year PRAISING BE

I want to PAY TRIBUTE to DOCTOR DELIGHT for bringing his HIGH INTELLECT to this HUMBLE FORUM

Now I know that he and I did not see EYE TO EYE on MANY ISSUES -- especially my constant criticism of the LOCAL PAN PRODUCT and ADMINISTRATIVE GOVERNANCE when it came to LOCAL/GLOBAL PAN.

But I admire him for his NATIONALISM!!! And I felt like a SCHO

Aquil Arrindell really give me some FALSE INFORMATION when he came on THIS FORUM and said that KEITH DIAZ was making almost $30,000 a month as PRESIDENT OF PAN TRINBAGO ...

... because I just went back and read the FORENSIC AUDIT REPORT and it says that for a few years KEITH DIAZ was making as much as $60,000 A MONTH. And that does not include ALL THE SIDE RACKETS that HE and FORTEAU  was RUNNING in the RENTAL CAR SCHEM

DENISE HERNANDEZ: It is time for you to take a more PUBLIC ROLE in representing PAN TRINBAGO ...

Denise: I could understand BEVERLEY not being prepared to handle intense questioning from the CITY PRESS CORPS, but the need for some IMAGE MENDING from PAN TRINBAGO is beyond critical at this point.

You have THE TALENT and THE SKILL to REBUILD the I

Ingrid Blackwood-Belle: We need you to come back on THE FORUM and join in the discussions ...

The idea is to have people from ALL CORNERS OF THE GLOBE celebrating and DISCUSSING PAN MUSIC. And we need a LONDON CONNECTION. So please come back!!!

Even if EARL RICHARDS want to MIND YUH BUSINESS - doh bother with HIM.

Come back and let us discuss

"The glory days of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s no longer exists.
We need a paradigm shift, a renewed trust in sponsorship and a collective approach if we are to reap the benefits that have eluded us through the years."

Now usually I try to keep some kind of integrity in my postings -- but I am taking some liberties with THIS STORY about how THE CIP fired GREGORY LINDSAY just because he OPPOSED BEVERLEY RAMSEY ...

Aquil Arrindell, Gerard Mendez, Dane Gulston and all dem CIP MEN want TO KILL Gregory Lindsay just because he wants to RELEASE some stories about THE AUDIT and THE VEE PEE which BEVERLEY was trying SO HARD to DEEP SIX.

So they end up FORCING GREGORY

GREGORY LINDSAY: BEVERLEY sending you as a STOOL PIGEON on THIS FORUM to try to NEUTRALIZE ME -- but ALLYUH EH ABLE!!!

I care about PAN PROGRESS more than ALLYUH and I have the BEST GLOBAL VISION FOR PAN in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

Man vex with me because I say that I am a REAL TRINIDADIAN -- come out of dey DEATH BED to take me on!!!

But I am PERSONALLY INVESTED in thi

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

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
