I think Ray Holman holds the title for Arranging the most Panorama tunes for different Large Steel Orchestras. He arranged Panorama Tunes for Starliff, Invaders, Phase 2, Tokyo when they were in the large Category, Exodus, Pandemonium, Hummingbirds Pan grove when they were in the large category, and skiffle.. Do u agree or did I miss any.

Celebration is in order...
odw, I needed that. Ray is ah BOSS.
Include Antillian All Stars (spelling) 'Sando', south
Ray also arranged for Power Stars and Antillean All Stars.
Earl: Yuh leave out ANTILLEAN ALL STARS from south. Bertel and Bede didn't even know that!
I know all the bands Ray and Boogsie arrange for Claude. Dem like meh bros.
Is a funny thing, Chopin,mozart and all them fellas were never referred to as who is greater than who, all the Steelband Arrangers are great unless they are a "Complete Shit-ong"
Bede, the steelband always had rivalry, the music replaced violence, panorama and bomb tune decided who is the greatest for the year,the greatest might not be the best.
Claude I don't know what you mean by behind the times, I've played five years with Ray, there is little one can say about the man the I don't already know.
