Trinidad Guardian
Two steelpan virtuosos of contrasting styles delivered enriching music with a remarkable sense of harmony and rhythm, that yet again demonstrated the musical possibilities of the instrument, to an almost full house of appreciative patrons at the Central Bank Auditorium, on Saturday night.
Occasion was the QRC Foundation’s Steelpan and Jazz Festival concert featuring the “‘Mozart of pan” Len “Boogsie” Sharpe and the “smoothest pan player” Robert Greenidge. The event, in recognition of the nation’s 50th anniversary of Independence, was supported in part by the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago, Ministry of Planning and Sustainable Development and Pan Trinbago.

Yes Ann,
I second that motion. We must be archive friendly. I am back in Florida and is doing my 5th book entitled, "Panorama Finals 1963 to 2012. Because of our culture, we were not archive fiendly where pan was concerned back then. I am having a hard time getting points, arrangers for the 1960's and 1970's panorama finalists. I am 90% complete. Keep in touch. Ian
Hope some one had the vision to produce a CD of this performance....
