New York, USA - Imagine the great Len “Boogsie” Sharpe, champion arranger for the famed Phase Two Pan Groove conducting an intense panorama practice on a hot Summer night with New York’s Moods Pan Groove at their Brooklyn panyard. Mr. Sharpe is giving new music tonight and is viewing and listening to every nuance of the players’ performance. All of a sudden, the master arranger taps the side of the pan, brings the orchestra to a halt, and yells out to a player in the back on a four-pan - by name - and says “your phrasing is wrong - who showed you that?” The slightly embarrassed player is relieved when he looks up and sees that Boogsie is looking at him with a big smile. Everyone laughs and the orchestra begins again. Well, ordinarily, this would be the normal course of the practice. However there is one thing different here - Boogsie is not in New York, he is in Phase Two’s pan yard back in his native Trinidad and Tobago, and conducting Moods Pan Groove’s panorama practice in their Brooklyn, New York panyard, real time - via LifeSize’s technology.
Again When Steel Talks found itself at two technology expos. This time we were in New York in the Jacob Javits Center for the Web 2.0 Expo and the Interop Expo. As we have said before, technology impacts on every aspect of our lives whether you choose to participate or not. Anything you do not know, you will pay for - dearly. So, in this regard, When Steel Talks (WST) simply has no intention of letting the folks on the WST network fall off the wagon, bring up the rear or join the “not ready for prime time players steel orchestra.”
....With lots of products and information - there were a few that stood out for WST, as having potential for the steelpan music industry and franchises. These were products that we believe will increase your productivity - enhance your creativity, and/or are capable of protecting your genius. In addition, and most importantly they can increase your earning power and marketability.
