Merrytonestothbone: With the POSTPONEMENT of THE PAN RAMAJAY ... I have PLENTY MORE TIME to practice "WE KINDA MUSIC" -- so I hope that YOUR TIPS AND TRICKS BOOK could take me to THE TOP ...

[Claude Gonzales]

Merrytonestothebone: It have some REAL TALENTED PAN PLAYERS in THIS COMPETITION. But with YOUR BOOK -- and another three months to hone my skills -- I feel that I could WIN THIS COMPETITION.

Nobody in the world understands THIS SONG better than me -- so with a MINIMUM OF PAN TALENT and A MAXIMUM UNDERSTANDING of THE SOUL OF THE SONG ... THE INTERNATIONAL JUDGES HAVE TO GIVE ME THE NOD!!!

And since I live three doors away from one of the most respected JAZZ MUSICIANS in the world -- I could just knock on his door and ask him to GIVE ME A FEW LICKS that could fit into some improvisation on this song ... and nobody could doubt my performance and VICTORY!!!

I could name EVERY OUR BOYS PLAYER IN THIS VIDEO!!!
