“The sound of the Pan comes from the soul of our people. As such, it is a spiritual instrument, and that is why it is able to touch people in the way that it does. Few instruments can do that. It is more than a love affair. Pan is Trinbago, and Trinbago is Pan.” ...Daryl Joseph

Darryl Awesome interview. Thanks for tracing the history and culture of Tdad All Stars. However, more importantly I appreciated that you highlighted the fact the underrated treatment "Smooth Man"has been dealt by the media, the song writers and stake holders of our national instrument . As recent as this year there is a pan tune by Dee Diamond " where he acknowledges a number of past and present arrangers but never mentions Smooth in his song. It must be a focus of the entire All Stars family to come together and ensure Smooth's and Terry's (yes Terry ) musical talents are known by all in the music industry. Smooth has paid his dues over and over and over again Curry,Doh back back, Jump for Joy , Rain Coming Down, Thunder Coming, Heat, Soca Warriors !!! nedd I say more . Thanks Darryl
I have said it maybe once before and woud repeat the same once more,,HE WHO FEELS IT KNOWS IT ALL.,,,
Well said!!!!
