When the NY Panorama audio engineer turns all the steelbands' music into noise and the host still says she is hearing sweet pan music...
Everyone is in agreement that sound at the 2019 NY Panorama was terrible. That's nothing new. It's always awful. The sound coming through the streaming broadcast was awful too. It doesn't sound like any NY steelband I have ever heard. Yet the broadc

"The powers-that-be are so hell bent on keeping the status quo that they have hoodwinked all the other greedy bands, panists, what have you, to accept the rubbish of a November Single Pan competition, a half-December-half-January Small Band competit

"Dare we hope that pan administration will really move towards some degree of internal reform?" Mr. Martin Daly is looking on the bright side. And I hope that RUSSELL PROVIDENCE is doing likewise!!!
That was an interesting article, you all should go down and read it.
But my problem remains singular: WHERE IS THE MUSIC?
Plenty MUSIC EDUCATION has been acquired by many of our PLAYERS (in and out of TRINIDAD), so there is no SHORTAGE of HIGHLY MUSI

Not much talk FROM BEVERLEY about the PROGRESS of the TOBAGO PANORAMA -- and she is a woman who like to run to NEWSDAY to boast about her TRIUMPHS
So I am suspecting that she might be UNDER PRESSURE in trying to deliver this PROMISE to TOBAGO. But I always give BEVERLEY good advice. So once again I will encourage her to CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE and give a STATE OF THE PAN WORLD report after one

Like RICHARD NIXON used to say: Let me make ONE THING PERFECTLY CLEAR -- I don't want NOBODY attacking MARCUS ASH on THIS FORUM!!!
I campaigned for MARCUS ASH in this last ELECTION and MARCUS ASH is an HONOURABLE MAN. So I don't want NOBODY criticizing that man. Now, I don't know the man PERSONALLY. Ah never see him LIVE IN THE FLESH, ah never meet him, ah never talk to him on t

TRINIS does talk and talk and BOAST about dey music and dey MUSICAL GENIUSES-- but they just CANNOT make MUSIC for GLOBAL AUDIENCES.

Well i could see why BEVERLEY would be TENTATIVE when presenting a DRAFT CALENDAR for the 2020 PANORAMA SCHEDULE -- even though she has only TWO CRITICS
BEVERLEY has been getting PLENTY LICKS of late. And, to be honest, right now she is SPOOKED and PETRIFIED because THE PRESIDENCY has proved TOO CHALLENGING for her. But if you want to get into the psychology of the "DRAFT CALENDAR" -- she knows that

PANORAMA is the OPIATE of PAN PEOPLE and BEVERLEY knows that so she is extending the PANORAMA SEASON to FOUR MONTHS to tie up PAN PEOPLE HEAD ...
... now last I heard, she had not paid MANY STEELBANDS their APPEARANCE FEES FOR 2019 as yet. But these players are already lined up to play for PANORAMA 2020 for FREE while $60,000,000 just disappeared from PAN TRINBAGO over the last 10 years.
