The person made me touch the PAIN SPOT -- wondering why with ALL THE TALENT and ALL THE EDUCATION and ALL THE SELF-CONFIDENCE and ALL THE BRAVADO and ALL THE EXPATS DOTTING THE WORLD, we CAN'T get the PAN MUSIC TING going GLOBAL.
I just can't understand if ALLYUH LOVE THE PAN SO MUCH why ALLYUH cannot join forces and put a program together to make PAN MUSIC GLOBAL. It is totally ironic to me that the man with the LEAST PASSION for PAN MUSIC on this forum spends the most time advocating for PAN PROGRESS.
I was explaining the LYRICS to RAGGA RAGGA (Red Plastic Bag) recently to an ENGLISH LADY -- especially how he COULD NOT DECIPHER because all he was hearing is RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA RAGGA ... while HANDS WENT UP IN THE AIR.
In similar fashion, when I listen to all the PANORAMA PERFORMANCES -- all I hear is BRADAM BRAM BRADAM BRAM BRADAM BRAM -- NOISE.
Ah try to decipher ... all the sophisticated explanations of the arrangers and the commentators and the PAN AFICIONADOS -- but I am still stuck in RED PLASTIC BAG MODE!!!
If PANS could create the sound of GUN SHOTS ah going by the DOCTOR tomorrow and get some EAR TRANSPLANTS!!! Because, all ah hear is ....

Claude, Someone once reminded me of the word CLARITY. This jolted my thoughts towards listening to a steelband performance. Each pan player should know the meaning of this word and should try to achieve it at all times. When the instrument is tuned properly it would make it easier for the player to achieve a clear, clean-cut sound.
