  • I want to direct a word of PRAISE to the 5 SPONSORS (there may be more) who have stepped up to support the BIG 5 CONCERT.

    Now I know that this is a forum where SPONSORS are considered POISON TO PAN. But that is not the lens through which I l look at the PAN WORLD!!!

    So I am very appreciative of the SUPPORT!!!

  • Looks like they will have a problem with the venue, was told the Savannah is flooded.

    • Ah hope the RAIN doh WASHOUT this party!!!

  • Claude, I wish the Big5 well but if they fail to address the carnival issue early they will void their existence, pretty soon the guys with the electronic stuff will come on the scene and this will be a game changer, anyone that says they will not affect the steelbands ought to think again. It is possible that they could dominate pan recording and videos.

    • Cecil: You have ah LOVE FOR PAN like few other people I have ever seen. But I have ah burning passion mehself to see some GOOD PAN MUSIC get some GLOBAL ACCEPTANCE.

      • Claude if you were given a few day off with airline ticket to go to T&T to attend the BIG 5 (ISF)  event, would you accept the offer ?

        • Five Star Hotel!!! The BMW SUV that KEITH DIAZ imported!!! Three young and beautiful full service TOUR GUIDES!!! Free meals and drinks at the 10 best restaurants.  Front Row seats to the show!!! And 10 KILOS of Cocaine to bring back and sell!!!

          My Answer: NO!!!

          • I was thinking that experiencing the event live and direct, you would comment first hand on the marketability of the Music. 

            • Earl: I really appreciate your contributions to the FORUM!!! The kind of PAN MUSIC that is MARKETABLE is beyond THE THINKING of the LOCALS. But they are unwilling to put any EXPATS on their BOARD OF CONSULTANTS so they will end up spinning top in mud -- in the long run.

              Yuh drawing me out tonight, Earl. Yuh want to get me in trouble or what?

              • Claude I will have to agree with you said about the marketable music, a perfect example is Marchel and Bunji, they had an opportunity to produce a song with a Global appeal and clean up the place and they made a song about "buss Head"
