Sit back and dream of warm weather, cool drinks and hot music.
River City Brass has that last one covered, closing its 37th season with a trip to the islands.

Audiences can expect to hear such classic summertime tunes as “Calypso Crazy,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” “St. Thomas,” “Jamaican Rhumba” and “Margaritaville,” concert planners say.

We need a PAN PLAYER from Trinidad who could move the PAN beyond the boundaries of "CULTURAL TIE-INS" and do STAND ALONE concerts in RECOGNIZED MUSIC CENTERS around the world. The LOCALS and the EXPATS just seem to be TOO HAPPY with TOO LITTLE.

E-PAN, G-PAN, PHI-PAN, INDIGISOUNDS -- and NO MUSICAL TALENT to record some decent PAN MUSIC out of ALL these instruments.
