That was a heartfelt interview!!! But I don't understand why none of these women produce any CDs
Tamaki is a MUSICIAN and not a PAN PLAYER. She brings a musical background to the PAN so she should be able to conceive a decent PAN CD.
I will always believe that PAN MUSIC today could be described by a line used by Al Pacino in SCARFACE (modified) which is a bit too descriptive to be used on this forum. I don't understand how Ray and Liam and Dane could go to all these foreign countries and meet all these talented MUSICIANS and not be able to produce a decent PAN CD with them.
I don't get it!!!
