I am convinced that they DO NOT UNDERSTAND the GLOBAL PAN MUSIC TING -- maybe that is why they don't talk about it.
But on THIS FORUM, before AUGUST 11TH even came -- I suggested that they compose a piece of MUSIC FOR PAN that could be played GLOBALLY on the WORLD STEELPAN DAY. I even went so far as to ask for the contract to produce the piece of music for them. Let me clarify that: I went so far as to tell them that I could FIND AMERICAN PRODUCERS who could produce a nice piece of GLOBAL MUSIC for them.
Next thing I read is that they are going to get some POET to write some ANTHEM and they will put music to that and the WHOLE WORLD will be SINGING THE LYRICS.
WRONG!!! WRONG!!! WRONG!!!
I say: LET THE PAN SPEAK THE MUSIC!!!
That approach that they are taking with that ANTHEM SONG is just too INSULAR!!!
This project is called WORLD STEELPAN DAY!!! So that PIECE OF MUSIC should have GLOBAL APPEAL!!!
Best THEY HUMBLE and call ANDY NARELL and pay him to COMPOSE ah nice piece of GLOBAL PAN MUSIC for this AS-FAR-AS-IT-IS-WIDE MUSICAL CHALLENGE!!!
Cecil Hinkson: Ah hope yuh come and DEFEND MEH again!!! People go want to KILL MEH for my GLOBAL INSIGHTS into how PAN MUSIC should be REPRESENTED outside of the PANORAMA IN TOBAGO!!!
