  • I am Happy to be part of WST, I get to Post Discussions, learn a lot about Pan and the Steelband, Meet new Friends, Found Friends that I haven't seen or spoken too over 40 yrs and I am able to Post my Videos and get different Comments about my Music. Therefore, WST is a God sent, if we lose WST I don't think God will find any other Website to Replace WST. Keep up the Great Work, We all Love you. 

  • Mr  Ford, thank you for saying the very thing I believe. to WST keep up the good work.

  • I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS VERY SIMPLE TO RESPOND TO. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, WITHOUT WST, PAN LOVERS WOULD BE AT A LOST FOR INFORMATION AS FAR AS THE PAN MOVEMENT IS CONCERNED. THOSE OF US NOT KNOWING BETTER, WOULD BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF INFORMATION THAT EMANATES FROM THIS FORUM, ONE WOULD QUITE EASILY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE HEADQUARTERS FOR THE WORLD PAN BODY. I DON'T KNOW THE INDIVIDUALS BEHIND THE ORGANISATION BUT ONE CAN SEE BY THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTION AND INFORMATION WORLDWIDE THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COMMITTED TO THEIR EFFORTS AND ENDEAVOURS. CONTINUE TO DO A WONDERFUL JOB BY KEEPING US INFORMED. BLESS UP.

    • LINCOLN  FORD, good post you've said it all.

  • The problem seems to be the fact that WST provides, among other things, an open forum for discussion on matters pertaining to pan. as a result, at times, much time and space is taken up by persons pushing one agenda or another. Attacks are made on people, sometimes even unfair attacks. But there is nothing one can do about this

    However, gladly, one can skip over the comments of any individual one thinks is being unfair, dishonest or distasteful. So for someone to criticize WST for allowing these persons to air their views is asking for censorship. Which would be tragic. One of the best things about the fora is the fact that an 'outsider' to any issue can listen to contending views on it -- and draw his/her own conclusions. This is how we learn!,

    Then again, the critics of WST clearly are not thinking about the other magnificent work it does, the joy it brings to so many by providing the opportunity to hear classic' pan! (and calypso). The information we receive about the history and development of the instrument. WST is like a small 'university of pan' to some of us!

    And all great institutions have their detractors and critics. Welcome to that esteemed club!

    • Noel, persons pushing an agenda is one thing but when the try to get WST to push their agenda they run in to trouble, these are the ones that speak negatively. WST position of neutrality is best for all.

      • Congratulations! More power to you.

        Keep it up. You are acting in the best traditions of journalism and of scholarship!

        Viva WST

  • WST just keeps on doing its thing and ask nothing from us. There will always be negative people because that is who they are. Beware of people who can only build themselves up by being negative about others. It is only special people who can see the positive in others and build on it. Mr. Cecil, I think WST's work speaks for itself. 

    • I hear yuh Pan Woman.

  • "When Steel Talks" is the Global Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Mouth of Pan. This Site is the Heartbeat of Pan EVERYWHERE!!! You are a VERY TRUE reflection of what it means to be "The Global Governing Body for Pan." Your fingers are on the Buttons Everywhere! Information and Education are everything for the growth and development of a people in any endeavour! You have done an exceptionally good job of these to Pan People Worldwide. Any other are a waste of time and would go nowhere.

    This global Pan Site is a result of a management, who are serious People of Pan, really focusing on "DOING SOMETHING FOR PAN." Pan would be nowhere without the sterling contribution of "When Steel Talks". Thank you.
