When I said that I am not "emotionally attached" to PAN MUSIC it is a bit of a lie. Because EXODUS is my FAMILY BAND (but, of course, at my age ALL MEH FAMILY DONE DEAD).
So I doh care who vex with this post -- but EXODUS needs to make some changes. If they have to hire some CRACKSHOTS from town -- ah willing to put out some money. If they need some new arrangers -- ah could send ah email to ANDY NARELL or SALAH WILSON.
If they need to replace the MANAGER -- ah better stop there ....
But EXODUS playing REAL NONSENSE and it is TIME FOR CHANGE!!!

These photos bring back so many memories. Although I was born in Picton Street New Town, I lived in Chenette Alley, off Oxford St and used to climb these steps to visit my great Aunt in the continuation of Oxford street. I remember Blanca starting off from here on Carnival Mondays and Tuesdays. My other great aunt lived on Quarry street backing on to Syncopaters yard.
Back in the 50s these were great times. I spent my pre school days with my father's aunt at 81 Oxford street, opposite St Ann's church of Scotland where I hid when san juan all stars had their big fight with desperadoes.
But most of all those were the days when pan ruled the road.
No canopies! Two arrangers! Too much Renegades. Too much Desperadoes. Too much Phase II. Too much All Stars.

This is what arrangers that can work together towards a goal look like. .

It's looking like the trend is to hire a youth.

Pan has always been about youth. Sometimes forget, how young Mannette and Tony Williams and others were teenagers. Which makes the ignoring of the Junior Panorama so vile.

They are the TREND SETTERS, NEW IDEAS, ADAPTING To CHANGE and MAKING CHANGE with FLAVOR.

JJe vais essayer de répondre aux deux commentaires précédents d'un seul coup. Je vais essayer de tuer deux oiseaux avec une pierre.;
every band I know goes through a lull. And you're right, they need a different approach. Every year the arrangement sounds the same as the year before. With little variation. The lack of melodic tunes does not help.
