... and THERE WAS NO COLLUSION!!!
Now bugs has my respect as a PAN and PANORAMA ANALYST (and a KEITH DIAZ HATER -- I could not leave that out, sorry). And Patrick thinks things out before he expresses himself on this forum. Me, I doh know nothing about NO PAN MUSIC -- I just go with what I think I hear. And on that note, when Mercer force me to listen (grudgingly -- because is only SO MUCH PAN I could really listen to) to SKIFFLE -- it was quite a duty.
But ah have to tell the tale that as I listened to the SKIFFLE "HELLO" move from one musical expression to the next, all meh pores raise up and they was making me feel so sweet -- ah had to say: STOP SKIFFLE!!! STOP!!!
Now, I know how GEOGRAPHY fits into EVERYTHING in life. So the idea of a SOUTH BAND winning is like SNOW falling in TRINIDAD. But the ARRANGERS from SKIFFLE (and if they happen to be EXPATS -- better still) really have my respect based on the VERY LITTLE I know about PAN MUSIC ... and I would like to see them WIN. But with judges bearing southern grudges -- ah have to default to PHASE II.
BOOGSIE is in the PRESENT TENSE of PAN MUSIC with this arrangement. And he should be rewarded with a WIN.
Cecil Hinkson real disappoint me jumping off the BOOGSIE SHIP just when the PANORAMA MUSIC REVOLUTION is about to UNFOLD.

Boi Why yuh telling people I jump off the Boogsie Ship, did I tell you so? In any case let me set the record straight, ah want yuh to read my lips, I WILL NEVER JUMP OFF THE BOOGSIE SHIP, the guy born 2 houses from me so we have an early childhood bond. Today he's one of the greatest composer/arranger of steelband music in T&T, as they say he real BIG in the land and I feel blessed to know him. You must be careful of statements you make that could damage other peoples relationship,. after all that's not what we are here for.
Well, yuh so busy BIGGING UP RENEGADES -- and BOOGSIE put down some of the most futuristic and TODAY Calypso/Soca that I heard in decades and yuh eh have ah word to say -- what yuh want me to think?
And all the TIME I on this forum hearing about THE BOOGSIE GENIUS and never joining the RELIGION and when I see the man DELIVER beyond EXPECTATIONS -- everybody except bugs and Patrick gone quiet.
Yuh have to be so careful on this forum. I say CALYPSO and people thinking that I am opposed to SOCA. Or maybe they just splitting hairs out of FRUSTRATION.
Do I have to tell you about the "fat lady" Renegades was excellent, I called a spade a spade. but it ain't over yet.
