... was TALENTED and SELF-CONFIDENT enough to ENTER THE "INTERNATIONAL" PAN RAMAJAY COMPETITION.sponsored by THE EXODUS STEELBAND.
And after the GOVERNMENT OF CANADA spend so much money developing PAN IN SCHOOL PROGRAMS and the PEOPLE OF CANADA provided SO MUCH SUPPORT to TRINIDAD STEELBAND MUSIC ... NOT ONE CANADIAN learn to play the PAN UP TO COMPETITION STANDARD.
Or maybe SALMON and SALAH DID develop some HIGH-LEVEL SKILLED PLAYERS over THE DECADES and the PAN RAMAJAY ADMINISTRATORS just failed to reach out to the CANADIAN PAN PLAYERS.
Ah wish DEM CANADIAN FELLAHS could come and explain this whole failure to present a CANDIDATE in the NOT-VERY-INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY to me!!!
