Earl...You are obviously much more "excited" about the impending Panorama season than I am...As I have said many times in the last few years...Panorama is no longer to be taken seriously...
This one by BROTHER MARVIN is a GOOD ANTICIPATORY SONG,too. PANORAMA CARNIVAL TIME AGAIN!!!

I like the RAIN/VEIN/CHAMPAGNE/COMPLAIN/EXPLAIN/RESTRAIN/ABSTAIN rhymes with "AGAIN" and the TENDERNESS of the MESSAGE.

Iron in the band-------------we want Iron in D band
Earl: I think that you could actually compose THE CALYPSO but you have to keep the ORIGINAL STORY in MIND!!!
The ORIGINAL STORY is the basis for THE SCRIPT. So let us REFRESH.
The idea for THE CALYPSO was based on a TRUE STORY -- but you know what they do in HOLLYWOOD ... they take LIBERTIES (lies and misconprehensions) and insert them for DRAMATIC EFFECT.
So, in the real story, a YOUNG WOMAN was hired to arrange for a STEELBAND in TRINIDAD. When she got to the PAN YARD and brought her sophisticated MUSICAL EDUCATION to the PANORAMA SONG, the OLD TIMERS in the BAND could not quite relate to HER POLISH as she kept focusing on the MUSICALITY of the INSTRUMENTS and not THE TRADITIONAL RHYTHM of the STEELBAND CULTURE.
(Remember you and me are REAL TRINIDADIANS and we UNDERSTAND THE CARNIVAL VIBE which was there LONG BEFORE all the MUSIC EDUCATION entered the picture.)
So, some TENSION arose among the HARD CORE OLDER PAN MEN and this YOUNG FEMALE ARRANGER. Well, it could not be resolved -- so the OLD TIMERS (RHYTHM MEN) left the PAN YARD.
At this point the YOUNG FEMALE ARRANGER was QUITE HAPPY because she was FINALLY in charge WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
But when the PRACTICE SESSIONS continued SANS THE OLE TIME RHYTHM MEN -- the FEEL was lost and the band started to sound life if they were PREPARING for a CONCERT for WHITE PEOPLE rather than a PANORAMA. And the YOUNG PAN PLAYERS could NOT FEEL THE VIBE.
Suddenly, the HIGHLY EDUCATED ARRANGER came back to HER ROOTS and REALIZED that TRINIDAD was not ready for that ACADEMIC PANORAMA ARRANGEMENT -- because, after all, this was CARNIVAL TIME IN TRINIDAD and not some PAN CONCERT in some FAR AWAY LAND.
So in the middle of the next REHEARSAL -- without even realizing it ... her PAN JUMBIE escaped from her MUSICAL SOPHISTICATION and a voice deep in her heart told her: I have to bring back DEM OLD TIMERS because WE WANT (NEED) MORE IRON IN THE BAND if we want to ROUSE THE PANORAMA AUDIENCE.
So after that long story we boil down to COMPRESSION OF STATEMENT and end up with: WE NEED MORE IRON IN THE BAND.
TRANSLATED TO: "SHE WANT MORE IRON IN THE BAND!!!"
Claude; This is a very long 2020 Panorama Season, Panorama is in the air and Count Robbin says Carnival Coming posted above is one way to usher in the season..
