Of course, being the PAN CYNIC that I am ... I doh buy the OLE TALK. There are two things in Trinidad that I understand more than most people -- The failure of the PAN ADMINISTRATION and the roots and perpetuation of CRIME in Trinidad. I will keep my opinions on THE CRIME THING off this blog ... but this is a PAN SITE so I am GOING FOR IT. Not that I have not done that for years.
Newsday August 11, 2023

"World Steelpan Day was a significant development in the history of the pan movement. The day was declared by the UN on July 24 and will forever be marked on its calendar on August 11.
But there are many more milestones the organisation hopes to meet, Pan Trinbago’s president Beverley Ramsey-Moore said."
So let us get into the NITTY GRITTY since I have been in a WRITING MOOD over the last 10 months having written THREE BOOKS in my own inimitable style.
“Our main focus at this time is the development of the industry. When we talk about the industry, it is not only about the manufacturing of the instrument, but the heavy focus on our export markets, getting into continents.”
We been in continents for decades now MADAME PRESIDENT.
"The organisation wants to further develop markets on the African, European and Asian continents, she said."
Biting the hand that feeds: NORTH AMERICA. Who comes to your PANORAMA, Madame President?
She said one of the first things it must do to grow its export industry is to establish international pan ambassadors.
“We have our people out there, but it is just that we need to re-organise and strategise as to how we can get through.”
Way beyond your reach MADAME PRESIDENT, I have been an AMBASSADOR in my own way for over 45 years -- but Claude Gonzales does not GET MANAGED like all the other PAN PUPPETS looking for a slot to fit into. I cannot be a PAN TASTIC and Michael Smith. I am a known quantity ... a self-appointed ambassador.
WHENSTEELTALKS ... ah hope allyuh doh take down my posting because my pen is suddenly full of extra ink tonight and I have to vent. It is a good thing that I have a TRACK RECORD of standing up for PAN PROGRESS without MAMAGUY... ah might get a pass. Back to THE MAMAGUY from THE PRESIDENT.
If you call up PAN TRINBAGO right now and ask BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE to name 5 people who she will name as AMBASSADORS in foreign -- nobody on that list will even vaguely ve a clue on THE SUBJECT MATTER except to tell their friends that THE PRESIDENT OF PAN TRINBAGO called me. And in case anyone reading this post makes and think that I just wake up today and reacting to today's events or just join the PAN COMMUNITY -- I have spent the last six years stewing on a book that addresses all the issues that this fraudulent woman just went to newsday with. Because I am a REAL EXPAT AMBASSADOR TO PAN.
“This thing is so big, and that is why we are so pleased there is this huge opening, the global acceptance and it is definitely going to open up a lot of doors for us.”
Cliche!!! Fool the UNINFORMED. It is only a BIG in TRINIDAD.
The organisation also planned to work through TT’s various missions to ensure that pan is “flooded throughout the world.”
I heard that talk 4 years ago ... how come the tree never bore fruit?
Ah begging for a JOB, Beverley!!! Nobody in the outside world has MY CREDENTIALS or my freedom to invest in GLOBALIZING STEELDRUM MUSIC LIKE ME.
But I don't fit the bill because I am not a LITTLE SHEEP. And that is the BIG PROBLEM that faces PAN TRINBAGO in its dreams to integrate with the outside world.
I will go to my grave grieving from the INCOMPETENCE of the PAN LEADERSHIP in TRINIDAD. What a shame. Hold yuh PANORAMA and suck on the government funds ... that is all PAN TRINBAGO could really accomplish.
Lord have mercy: Ah cyar make no more enemies in the FLOCK OF SHEEP PAN SUPPORTERS. So ah expressing my grievances.
Dr. deLight: I am so MAD RIGHT NOW ... pour me a drink and drink it for me.
