  • A lot of music,hat's off to Edwin "Crazy"Ayoung".
  • Hats off to de lovable lunatic. Any discussion on pan songs, though, must make mention of Ray Holman, who stuck to his creed of having his band play original songs composed specifically for pan, and this at a time when hardly anyone else was doing so (Kitchener always had, of course, but that is another story). Matter of fact, people actually blamed Holman's choice of tune for Starlift not placing higher in Panorama, saying that by carnival time the tune was not familiar enough to fans to garner a popular response. Now Ray's tunes, from pan on de road to oh trinidad form the bedrock of a whole adjunct addition to the artform.
  • HE HAS WORK HIS TAIL OFF FOR PAN SONGS YEARS NOW
