IAN FRANKLIN: Since you are the RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY on PAN HISTORY, I am inviting you to come on THIS FORUM and set the record straight!!!

[Claude Gonzales]

Ian: We need to clear up a a very simple issue!!!

In what year was the PAN "invented"?

Or put another way: In what year did a TENOR PAN made from a 55-gallon drum EXPOSE ITSELF to the TRINIDAD PUBLIC?

Even though we are all on DIFFERENT FORUMS -- is ONE PAN COMMUNITY!!!

So please come on and EXPLAIN THIS to the 20,000 members of WHENSTEELTALKS. And if you are TOO BUSY -- send BERTEL GITTENS!!!

PLEASE!!!!
