It seems that all the PAN ON THE ROAD FOR CARNIVAL TALK just brought the forum to a SCREECHING HALT.
Great timing for me as the 2016 CAMPAIGN catches fire and I have to go support my candidate!!!
PAN EH COMING BACK ON THE ROAD so allyuh better look at that WINDSHIELD rather than that REAR VIEW MIRROR!!!!

That’s a matter of interpretation; I never underestimate the power of people to decide their fate.
I respect the fact people are highly capable of making choices that benefit their interest, if you are a follower you go with the flow, if you are a leader you take the lead, if you are undecided you ask questions or find a direction that fits your needs, if you are a spectator of life you wait and see what happens. That’s what we call freedom of CHOICE.
Blackie - Tribute To Pan Pushers
Whatever means they use to move a mobile steelband on the road , there has to be compensation.
I'm sure that truckers don't move pans for free.
If we were ever to use "pan pushers" to move a steel-band on the streets in future , there must be compensation for those involved.
I'm sure , given time , bands will continue to figure out the most efficient and reliable ways of moving pans on the street , if we put our minds to it.
Its all our inventions and creativity after all , and I do hope that creativity didn't end in the sixties.
If this takes off, could be a slow process and the advertising industry want to put their brand names on banners, band tee shirts, caps and cups souvenirs in an all-inclusive package, that would create revenue to redistribute to the pan pushers. Why let Pan Trinbago alone capitalize on these third-party arrangements? For the individual bands a closer step towards self-sufficiency.
I'm sure there are Carnival visitors who will want to register in a steelband to be part of that traditional Carnival experience.
It's only so long you could flog a dead horse...... but we're working on bringing it back, trust mih !
You tell them Jerry, there is no where else for the steelband to go but back on the road.
,,,CAN'T U SAY ANYTHING ON A POSITIVE NOTE?
MORNING GLORY: I am NOT A SLAVE to TRADITIONAL and CULTURAL EMOTION!!!
