NOBLE WILLIAMS (LA TRINI) once told me a "CALIFORNIA TING" that if it has ONE PAN IN THE BAND it is a STEELBAND. He did not know that I knew and lived that in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA and was involved/present in THOUSANDS of STEELBAND PERFORMANCES over decades.
Allyuh must understand that THE NORTH and SOUTH THING exist in ALL COUNTRIES!!!
So I am now going to post the BEST 5 "STEELBAND RECORDINGS" in my life on THIS POSTING.
Without a doubt, I am offering NO PARTICULAR ORDER -- but at the same time, people like BUGS and WHEN STEEL TALKS KNOW MY ORDER!!!
And please remember: CALYPSO IS MY TING -- NOT PAN!!! But then again, I feel that i understand GLOBAL PAN MUSIC better than ANYBODY ELSE!!!
FREDDY HARRIS tie up meh head with THIS PRODUCTION!!!
MOLEE CRAVEN send ME (and the rest if the world) MAD WITH THIS!!!
This might be THE BEST OF ALL TIME -- but ah have ah GOOD FRIEND in TRINIDAD who DOH LIKE ME TO BIG UP RAY HOLMAN ... and ah doh want lose MEH GOOD FRIENDSHIPS down in LAX!!!
THIS RAP with THIS PAN and THIS CALYPSO BEAT is nothing short of heaven. LYRICS GALORE
And of course -- THE GREATEST TALENT PAN HAS EVER SEEN ...
