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 1979) it was on a PIANO (I told that story before on THIS FORUM).

But you making that statement is a little more complex than you could imagine -- because for years I have refrained on THIS FORUM from pointing out his BROAD MUSICAL SKILLS beyond THE PAN. So when you hit the NOTE -- it RESONATED.

I looked at the TELEVISION PRESENTATION of the WARRIORS first game in SAN FRANCISCO and it actually triggered some thoughts that are related to the BEVERLEY PANORAMA PAY-PER-VIEW -- with which she is SO OBSESSED. Only a DOUBLE AGENT (like me) could link those TWO EVENTS.

One day, when I get IN THE MOOD, I will EXPAND upon the LINKAGE that I am making between SAN FRANCISCO and the WARRIORS (and JOE MONTANA and the 49ERS) and PAY PER VIEW PANORAMA from TRINIDAD.

But ah fraid yuh with THE MUSIC TING!!!

...being a PIANO PLAYER helped propel some of our great Steelband arrangers/composers in gaining musical acceptance across the globe, their stories should be documented to inspire others in ADVANCING their MUSICAL SKILLS... Can you name other arrangers/composers whose foundation started as PIANO PlAYER? The Albino family comes to mind, share your stories...
