THE LENT OF DISCONTENT on the FORUM!!!

The PANORAMA was GREAT!!!

PAN AFICIONADOS agree that it was ONE OF THE BEST!

Yet still, when I read this PAN FORUM is only COMPLAINT after COMPLAINT.

One time ah fellah came on this forum (ah fellah I thought I really understood, psychologically; and a fellah who could have been a great contributor to the forum) and he looked at the forum and after a while he wondered aloud why EVERYBODY ON HERE so loved the PAN but spent so much time COMPLAINING about PAN rather than CELEBRATING THE PAN.

Well dey run that fellah off the forum in a hurry!!!

TIME FOR SOME OPTIMISM and some ACTIVISM!!! TIME TO REST THE COMPLAINISM!!!

And speaking of ACTIVISM: What ever happened to XL4PAN; and that GREAT STEELBAND REVOLUTIONARY Gregory Lindsay?

  • So dat fella had a problem with free speech, opinion and criticism, according to to him and now you, we all should accept things as they are, even if in our eyes they are not. Nothing is perfect, yes, we all love pan, everyone on this forum, and we agree that  Panorama 2017 got a passing grade, but many of us would like to see the music evolving, for right now, no matter how sweet and exiting the sound, we know that the music can go to higher and different levels. Most of  the arranging styles and nuances that were heard this year, even with the emerging selection of soca songs, were nothing to shout about, same old, same old. Nobody, it seems wants to dare climb out of the box. I will say again the music was exiciting, but not delicious! 

  • Man is not perfect neither is the work of his hands, we complain because we want things to become better. What we do here is more like  feedback than complaining. We must remember that this medium is relatively new, never before were we able to see so many different comments from people all over the place, problems are solved by talking.

    People of the world must continue to speak out on issues of concern where ever they may be, one never knows, the person to bring about change could be listening. .

    • What is not fully expressed in the "discussion" is that we generally know what is NOT appealing to the individual's senses, but we cannot, or I should say, we should not, arbitrarily say that what is presented is not up to par. To do that we should offer some solution. The human thing is to learn by experimentation, or, by example....and since PAN is a new frontier some elements of it would have to be by experimentation. Let us then comment, and not condemn; discus and not dispute; applaud efforts and offer appraisal for what is offered.
