EVERYBODY on THE PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE making BIG MONEY -- COVID or NO COVID!!! Meanwhile, PAN MAN SCRUNTIN' DEY EH GETTING NOTHING!!! So ah lot ah dem WONDERING OUT LOUD what to do to change their situation.
Now, before I continue, I have to add a point made by an INFORMED JOURNALIST in TRINIDAD. Some of you may know (and some may deny -- I understand why) that THE GOVERNMENT really made a mess of the EFFORT to bring COVID VACCINES to TRINIDAD. It had mostly to do WITH RACE as all politics in TRINIDAD has to do with. But, anyway, the reporter weighed the situation and projected that it is very likely that THERE WILL BE NO PANORAMA IN 2022.
Which raises the question: Do you all think that PAN MEN and ARRANGERS could afford to lose ANOTHER PANORAMA -- PANORAMA being the LIFEBLOOD of STEELBANDS IN TRINIDAD while THE EXECUTIVE gets rich off of supposedly seeking THE PAN MAN'S INTEREST?
So in the STEELBANDS the stress and neglect forcing people to look for alternatives as in the form of a better executive.
What I would suggest is that a FEW LEADERS from a FEW BANDS and a FEW PAN LOVERS (outside of the bands) and a FEW PLAYERS from a FEW BANDS -- all of whom are SERIOUSLY CONCERNED about PAN PROGRESS -- should form a team or committee or group (or whatever you want to call it) and come up with a VISION PLAN that could create a MIDDLE GROUND between PRESIDENT BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE and THE WORLD OF PAN PLAYERS.
Then they should call THE PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE to THE TABLE and start discussing ways to MOVE PAN FORWARD and to seek THE BEST INTEREST OF STEELBANDS and PAN PLAYERS. Because everybody (except CECIL HINKSON and MICHAEL SMITH and BERTEL GITTENS) feel that the EXECUTIVE IS LOOKING OUT FOR ITSELF and NOBODY ELSE.
I am glad to see that PAN PEOPLE are waking up to THE REALITY that PAN TRINBAGO is A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION where THE WINNER TAKES ALL and BARELY LEAVES CRUMBS for THE PAN MAN!!!
