Amzing Article WST!! Once again, u have captured and shared priceless moments and information about the ongoing Phenomenon known as the Steelpan. We all Love the unmistakably Sweet Music it creates and I'm extremely delighted you've decided to extend ur findings to us on this.invisible but impregnable fortress of info known as the World Wide Web. Thank You!


P.s. Just one correction: Mr. James Clarkeson is still with us here on earth, alive and living. The late arranger u refer to as it relates to the CD "Okunaya" is Carlyle Roberts, who sadly, left us back in January 2011.

Thanks for the kind words and correction Mr. Sky.  WST enjoyed our visit to Grenada.  The players are very talented.  All pan folks should visit Grenada and take in some great pan performances.
