Brooklyn Steel Orchestra comes together for AGT auditions
New York, USA - In an 'on the spur of the moment' collaborative effort, some of Brooklyn's finest steelpan musicians came to together for a special project. That project being vying for a spot on America's Got Talent. Early in the week When Steel Talks (WST) almost simultaneously got a heads-up from both Travis Roberts and Kern Simon (who took the idea to reality literally overnight) about the venture. WST was invited to check out their practice sessions. Travis and Kern moved the project deliberately and immediately into reality while avoiding the pitfalls that have scuttled many other steelpan music efforts in the New York.

Very well said Wayne. I haven't seem them or heard them, but I support these young people unconditionally without any reservations. It is their time, their show, their way.
I guess it is a human thing that the generation before is afraid of the possible success of the current generation without their input. Elvis Presley hated the Beatles. Louis Armstrong didn't like the Bebop kids, Miles, Dizzy, Max and Bird. And later on these same Jazz greats did not exactly give rousing support to the new jazz fusion generation.
Two years ago Desperadoes seniors mutinied, rather than deal with the potential of success of young Andre White. Ironically only the man Robert Greenidge took the stage in support of Andre with his unconditional support. Likewise I am hearing a lot of people seem afraid of the success of these kids doing things their own way.
