Cecil, Boy: Ah under heavy manners on this forum. Brenda Hosang tell me to stop posting using CAPS. And ah next fellah tell me and bugs not to talk about basketball if we really love pan. And ah buy two CDs from ah english girl and she demanding that I like and approve of the music unequivocally. And Oswald Alexander come back on the forum and telling me to stay in America and help and doh come back home.
And now you telling me that the instrumental music market is almost dead so is ah waste ah time dreaming about a pan CD that could take the world by storm ... so my dreams are turning to ashes and all my hopes into bits of clay (I am sure that you recognize those lyrics).
Ah forget to mention Caspar Durant. Is plenty pressure to stay on this forum boy being a political animal above all else. Anyway, if somebody put down a good pan cd (instrumental with zero vocals) the world go bawl for murder. Ah going to meh grave believing that!!!

I sometimes think that we have lost the ability to appreciate the beauty of a skilled musician mastering his or her musical instrument, be it pan , saxophone , trumpet or guitar.
We have been seduced by technology , even in the steel pan world , and the economics of the music industry has made music more the province of skilled computer programmers , than talented musicians.
Jazz , and guitar oriented rock are the only popular genres that showcase musical skills, and the jazz genre has lost some of its luster with the young..
As far as the steelband is concerned , I think it needs its own musical genre.that is pleasing to the senses , easy to understand and appreciate , and capable of creating a festive , partying image in one's mind.
Learning and playing music that is more party oriented and less about competition may be a good start.
How everybody so thin-skinned these days here boy?…laaaarrrdeee...
Merrytones: Thin-skinned and I eh even get in to my long spiel about the vast differences between "music students" and "musicians".
Instrumental and live music are coming in from the cold. "For everything there is a season'.
I like that Lilian. This will surely make Claude feel better. He has been under the weather with a concussion and something about bad "Curry" since Lebron paid him a visit. lol...
I too think the instrumental will make a serous comeback.
