Claude:

Dr. deLight: About 2:30 this morning ah 4.5 earthquake roll under the house and ah say: Oh Gorm ah dead!!! We does have more earthquakes out here than RUSSELL PROVIDENCE have TADPOLES in his PONDS.
After that ah say is time to stop criticizing and start living, yes!!! Who knows when the BIG ONE will drop the west coast into the ocean AS PREDICTED. So I doh care who play what and how it sound, I learning to appreciate and not denigrate. But before ah dead ah want you to give some ENGLISH LESSONS to me and my newfound pardner AQUIL ARRINDELL.

All Stars have a nice choice of tune, I agree Claude very Dangerous.
If NEWTOWN PLAYBOYS playing first tonight and they are playing "THE HAMMER" then the rest of the SINGLE PAN BANDS better just pack up and go home. Because this competition done!!! On the other end of the spectrum, that TUNE that ALL STARS choose to play makes them VERY DANGEROUS to REPEAT!!! It look like the SMALL and the LARGE results done OUT already!!!
Claude:
You’re absolutely correct – once Panorama is on the horizon most of us, if not ‘all ah we’, simply forget our trials and tribulations, abandon our spats and disagreements, ignore our wrangling and differences of opinions, and gear our minds on the focus of pan. Pan duz make we do dat!
I’m sure you have already detected a change in the tone and tenor of the comments on the forum (it happens every year around this time), in large part as a result of your thought-provoking postings. The forum pot is starting to simmer with pan seasonings. And de pot smelling niceeeee.
In fact, your comment about ‘the other end of the spectrum’ has brought a smile to my face and added a little warmth to the heart. You even have Mr. Hinkson agreeing with you….. and he eh even hear a ding-dong note yet! However, I like to believe that it’s the annual arrangement, the anticipated crispness of the performance – audio as well as visual, the overall professionalism of the band that has proselytized Cecil and ironically, he hasn’t recognized that as yet. You know he is usually as Sharpe as a tack, right?
Anyway, this is a new year and I honestly believe 2018 is the year for love. You may say I’m going out on a limb, but if I may, let me remind you – that’s where the sweet fruit is. Love duz make we do dat!
