''Kitch The Grand Master Had a Plan in His Mind Before Composing a Pan Song. He Envisioned How it would Song on Pan. He More than Anyone Created the Music that Would Help the Panorama Music Evolve. Someone that was also Prominent in their Compositions for Pan Was the Late Great ''Golden Voice Terror even Though none of His Pieces ever Won any Panorama.
Yes Valentine you are right his father was a black-smith and the sound hitting the horse shoes made an impact on him. Here's how Kitch describe his childhood....
Excellent work ODW. Since there was a tie in 1985 and both orchestras performed " Pan Night and Day" should we give Kitchener an extra win for that year?
