Years ago I put up a TOPIC on THIS FORUM that I subjected (ah know Dr. delight doh like how ah use that word there -- but ah in such ah good mood, I DOH CARE) PAN NEEDS A STAR.
Well people CUSS ME up and DOWN and call all kinda ah pan man name for me and tell me dem is big PAN STARS and I doh know nothing about PAN MUSIC and all kinda ting.
But I have some highly discriminating filters when it comes to calling man GENIUS and PAN STAR. And I see the PAN WORLD from the OUTSIDE IN not from the INSIDE OUT.
Now, I lived to see the day when a REAL PAN STAR emerged in the name of DUVONE STEWART. Yet, it was not all smooth sailing for me. Because when Duvone left FRANCE (EUROPE) and went back to TRINIDAD to chase that "STUPID PANORAMA THING" I was deeply disappointed. I knew what was important to him and I saw what was important to him, yet I figured that his time would have been better spent continuing his "MUSIC EDUCATION" in Europe (that is another story).
But the man is a HARD CORE TRINI PAN MAN and he had to go back to the PANORAMA SCENE to prove that he WAS THE BEST. And that he did, breaking every record. So now he can embark on the BIG MISSION: GLOBAL AMBASSADOR FOR PAN. And when he does his presentations he can say: I hold every record for ARRANGING PAN in THE MECCA OF PAN (TRINIDAD where the PAN was invented). And eyes will POP in the audience. So he was a few steps ahead of me!!! Of course!!!
Only two things left for me to see with this PAN TING. I want to see a few more TRINIDADIANS out in the world being AMBASSADORS for the PAN. And I want to see "ONE REAL TRINIDADIAN" in that group. But that is a different story, again.
And then I want to see THE GLOBAL PAN MUSIC FLOURISH!!! That is a real hard one because the approach to making GLOBAL PAN MUSIC down is Trinidad is ALL WRONG.
Anyway, ah taking meh lil piece of VICTORY and ah celebrating. Could not come at a better time with all the NONSENSE going on in PAN TRINBAGO.
