I can sense the MOMENTUM BUILDING and with all the MEDIA SUPPORT that they are getting -- I can feel a CHANGE COMING. What they need to do now is to put a FACE to the leadership and outline a few simple TALKING POINTS. The Express Editorial offered a

ALL I WANT is for ONE TRINIDAD PAN GENIUS to make some PAN MUSIC that meets my taste!!!

Of course I would expect some POSITIVE REVIEWS in some GLOBAL NEWSPAPERS. I don't quite expect them to end up in the PAS Hall of Fame -- but a little short of that ANDY MARK is good enough for me.

All this CIP POLITICS and this PAN TRINBAGO DRAMA ain

Dr. Nyomba encroached upon a very complex but critical PAN ISSUE on this forum ...

... ironically, PATRICK seized the reins on the topic but he was dismissed. The real issue is THE LACK OF ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS in OUR PAN WORLD.

And I would say that the "RESOURCES" are woefully lacking on THIS FORUM to expand upon and seek to resol

WHAT A COUNTRY!!! The highly intelligent and educated MINISTER OF CULTURE pouring money (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) into a corrupt PAN TRINBAGO ADMINISTRATION to produce a corrupt STEELBAND COMPETITION

It's not to say that she does not know that PAN TRINBAGO is a beehive of CORRUPTION because executive members have resigned and spilled their guts in the MEDIA. And she even promised to AUDIT the corruption -- but excuses abound!!!

Now the part about

Well, my interest on this FORUM has always been about taking the PAN MUSIC GLOBAL. So I always revert to asking: WHERE IS THE MUSIC?
