A Look at 2017 Trinidad & Tobago Panorama Through the WST Forum Posts of S.F. Thomas aka “Big Sid”

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - ....Trinidad steelband panorama, from its founding, was set up as a genius-vs-genius, who-better-than-who, kind of contest. Where else in the world has such a format persisted, I wonder? So I doubt very much that Boogsie's

When I look in my CRYSTAL BALL I can only see ONE THING: She will never learn about CALYPSO and you will never learn about POLITICS.
