This is Pelham Goddard on behalf of me and my wife Glenda our condolences to the family of Bertie Marshall.
We are losing all our great ones.
Just think about a person like Bertie Marshall, an innovator, builder all in one, - think about the development gone without the young ones learning any thing about him.
And the young tuners who know not of his technique in tuning harmonics.
All we still blame whatever Government in power - and we have "the world steelband body." Remember the instrument is more important than panorama and competition.
We will do and do until we have no one to build these instruments. The rest of the world is making the instruments.
They on the Internet teaching the art; on YouTube and Facebook.
Come Pan Trinbago - Get up from your sleep!

GYPSY IS THE WORST CULTURE MINISTER EVER, HE WAS THERE IN GOV. WHERE HE PROMISE TO HELP BERTIE , AND DID NOTHING....
hi
The Government dont care about Pan. They even took the Pan Logo off our National Carrier ''Caribbean Airlines. Pantrinbago is a fraud. They use Panorama - Pan and the Panmen as their Cash Cow, only old talk and Lots of Corruption. ''What a Shame.''
When former Culture Minister Winston "Gypsy" Peters alluded to taking good care of Bertie Marshall's needs was it a suggestion or was it a dictum? If indeed, it was the latter then what did he through his ministry put in place to have it crystallized? So where does that leave Pan Trinbago?
