They opened up discourse. And they also showed the DEEP DIVISION among LOCALS; and LOCALS and EXPATS. I really wish that more ACTIVE PARTICIPATION can continue. And I do wish that the CIP could bring their WST HATERS to come and belch their disgust on THIS FORUM.
After all, we have 50,000 people reading THIS FORUM. And 50,000 WST READERS cannot be wrong!!! Forgive me for always stealing some line from some CALYPSONIAN -- but CALYPSO is my FIRST LOVE. And anytime we could put a TRINIDADIAN to tour the WORLD like Andy and Jonathan then I will go to my grave signing a CALYPSO -- with a LITTLE PAN in the background (and make sure it tune right).
Ah have to shake MERRYTONESTOTHEBONE HAND. Ah feel that he is an EXPAT in LOCAL CLOTHING. Of course my loyalty is always to those who have been posting the most. And of all the LOCALS -- merrytonestothebone has been POSTING THE MOST and describing the local terrain with microscopic accuracy. And believe me, me and merrytonestothebone have our PAN MUSICIAN differences. But that is another story!!!
I wish dem CIP FELLAHS will come and SUPPORT THE FORUM on a regular basis and not just on a political basis. And they should really bring the SMALL TIME posters from that amoebic sub-site to come in the BIG LEAGUES and swing at a few FAST BALLS on the INTERNET MECCA OF STEELBAND!!!
Once again I must warn that if anybody uses the term "INTERNET MECCA OF STEELBAND" -- expect a lawsuit from me and JJJ!!!
The one thing that truly upsets me is that the CIP accepted some recommendations from bugs (a victim of CONCUSSION) above my profound evaluations on the effective strategies to unseat the RIGHT HONOURABE KETIH DIAZ.
No wonder that DONALD TRUMP is PRESIDENT of AMERICA today!!! Somehow bugs managed to fool all of the CIP PEOPLE -- not just some of the time -- but all of the time!!!

Yeah Mi Amigo; I see you're peeping in meh head/brain, when U mess with meh patented and copyrighted steel pan technology, IS BIG WAR, and after yuh fail to file a defense, a rule of law and court warning, where the late Prime Pinister Manning, Copeland, Regrello, and Imbert regime, abused the power of their office, to research and create what's already hear , our "BIG" tenor pan Copeland called his first of a king "Genesis G-pan" to manipulate the law, fleecing $34.5 million US dollars, from the country's treasurery, and after they LOST THE CLAIM, to dissmiss said claim, was too late, which makes their dissmissial NOLLE & VOID, as they OWE S.N.S.E. $7.5 billion tt dollars and is still collecting $$,7 million US every year since 2005, and won't pay a dime, sure, i'm not only gonna sue them, i'm gonna take their HEADS OFFFF, i'm not a lawyer but I studied Coperate law at C.P.C.C, and the CIP isn't gonna do any better than PT, it will be the same old BULL SHIT, when I say bull shit I literally means LIE'S, over and over again...
JJJ: When you collect that money (that is owed to you) I want you to set up a RECORDING STUDIO for PAN down in Trinidad. And I will bring down a couple high-powered African-American MUSIC PRODUCERS and we will come in your studio and PRODUCE SOME PAN MUSIC that would SPIN the EARS and HEADS of MUSIC LOVERS -- the world over.
But when you add the THIRTY FIVE MILLION that MANNING HAND OVER to make the G-PAN to all the hundreds of millions spent on PAN TRINBAGO over the years and we don't even have a decent GREATEST HITS PANORAMA CD to show for it and KEITH DIAZ still begging the PNM for another $30 MILLION to produce PANORAMA next year -- IS AH REAL REAL SHAME!!!
Aquil: Yuh eh even win the PRESIDENCY as yet and all these fellahs coming and proposing IDEA after IDEA as if yuh is TRULY the PAN MESSIAH.. Let me test out your new title: THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND PAN MESSIAH AQUIL ARRINDELL. Sounds good to me.
These FORUMITES planning to make you A PROPHET WITH HONOUR IN HIS OWN LAND.
But you will have to fill us in on exactly how you plan to make PAN TRINBAGO -- SELF-SUFFICIENT!!! That is the promise that every candidate seeking that office makes and I cannot seem to see the road that leads to PAN BRINING IN BILLIONS (MORE THAN OIL) in the country. So POST up your plan on WHENSTEELTALKS for evaluation by the FORUMITES because most of us cannot come to the meetings, in person.
Boy, ah could see CECIL HINKSON starting to get REAL FRUSTRATED with the PAN STAGNANCY down in the MECCA. Somebody got to take the wheels and start driving STEELBANDS and PAN TRINBAGO into the BLACK. And we cannot sit around and wait 18 months for that!!!
AQUIL: You have a really BIG CHALLENGE on your hand, you know!!! There are some people on this forum who really really love PAN. Yuh know how much GLENROY JOSEPH do to promote the pan music (and the calypso) in FOREIGN. Cecil and bugs and Glenroy and Bede and Bob Diaz and Brenda Hosang and WHENSTEELTALKS -- all ah dem REALLY REALLY love the PAN and they are waiting for a LOCAL MESSIAH like you to take the STEELBAND out of BONDAGE IN THE MECCA.
On top of that, CECIL HINKSON want you to bring PAN BACK ON THE ROAD on CARNIVAL MONDAY. And I want you to get me the RIGHTS so that I can produce a GREATEST HITS PANORAMA CD as a starting point to some ideas I have for promoting PAN MUSIC.
Tell meh pardner GREGORY LINDSAY hello!!! He is ah BIG MAN. Ah real TRINI!!! He know how to take bounce and give bounce!!!
Mr. claude you is a chain up man. "waiting for a LOCAL MESSIAH like you to take the STEELBAND out of BONDAGE IN THE MECCA". I ain't no local messiah, i am just a person who thinks that there is a solution for every problem, and nothing ain't hard to accomplish, it just take time and effort. i really hope for all the lovers of pan, that we can get ten good, honest, futuristic leaders to lead our organisation out of this crisis and into sustainable business in the steel pan industry. i together with my team are working hard to see that we get it right this time. however, god is the boss and his time is always the right time.
Aquil: Ah watching the WARRIORS warm up for the FINALS with the UTAH JAZZ.
"SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS" -- a GOOD PAN CD could go a long way to KICKSTARTING steel pan Industry. I have been waiting to hear a decent PAN CD for decades.
Aquil
Work on Claude's idea. It's a good one. A music organization that doesn't make money from music can't be taken seriously. You don't have much time left - after the Warriors lose to Lebron in the finals, Claude will under a full blown concussion protocol.
bugs.
Mr. claude, Mr bugs is our personal advisor because he said you are the advisor to the PT president. that is how he fool us.
Aquil
In full disclosure, Claude is in an unstable state right now. He having bad dreams nightly about LeBron once again sending his beloved Golden State Warriors home without a championship. Brace yourself, the last time this happened Rolly Polly ended up passing out checks that bounced like basketballs.
Can someone ask Rolly Polly and D'Photo to list their accomplishments for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017? The fake news PRO should be helpful in this task.
bugs
Speaking of ROLLY POLLY -- Excuse me, I meant to type THE RIGHT HONOURABLE KEITH DIAZ -- the whole PAN TRINBAGO SCENE has just gone SILENT. No talk about paying the PANORAMA PLAYERS or the FORENSIC AUDIT or SENDING A BAND ON TOUR or PRODUCING A PAN CD FOR GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION or NOTHING LIKE THAT.
Come on Toronto -- you could beat LeBron!!!
