      Yeah BEDE, Season Greetings and YOUR FAMILY as well, yeah as CEO of SNSE, I was pre occupied hireing a foreign syndicate to secure OUR CLAIM PAYMENT in T&T and the U.S. where THEY disclose the admission of GUILT, when they filed a blank FORM 3A APPLICATION TO PAY BY INSTALMENT (RULE 8. 15 (1) (c) on April 4th 2014, The Applicant Owes the Claimant the amount xxxxxxxxxxx on the clain form and cannot pay the amount in one lumpsum,  BEDE we actually caught these PPL fleecing the T&T treasury of over $81.5 million U.S. dollars, that's $515, 000,000,000.oo million TT dollars, using the PAN as a Camouflage to get to the MONEY, it's time for them to pay the PIPER, and by the way "Lakie" had a stroke, he's in S. Ozone Park Queens NY...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho October 28, 2015 at 2:59am

      BEDE; the New Visionaries are blind as a bat in the daytime, and U of all person should have known long before NOW, that something 's WRONG HERE...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho October 6, 2015 at 11:15pm

      Hey BEDE, what's up man?  I'll be in DC sometime soon, visiting my girls/daughters and grand kids all 12 of them, and I'll pay Von Martin a visit maybe on the show, I'll also give U a call when I do get there...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 30, 2015 at 1:50am

      Hey BEDE, all the members of Pan Am North Stars meet and shook Dr Eric Williams hands the night of the Independance Ball at the Governor House, he said to me in his "Gritty Voice tone, so you are the little fellow" ???

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 30, 2015 at 1:36am

      BEDE,  I've posted this before/already as well, the 4ths & 5ths tenor pan and the whole tone double seconds, double cellos and 3 set basses in 1949, pan on stands blocks and leg's, the triple cellos and the 4 set bass in 1952, pan on wheels 1956, the 5 and 6 bass by 1965, the big over size home made tenor pan, the quadrophonic and quad cellos in the summer of 1968, U can hear these instruments on the "Ivory and Steel" album, all these are Anthony Williams baby's, the Invaders tenor pan Herman Gomez, the Cuatro or Guitar pan Neville Jules, double tenor Percy "lizard" Thomas, the "Echo Phone or triple tenor" 7 basses "Herman( rock) Johnston", the 1st ping pong and the single strummer or strumming pan, rubber on the sticks and tune "Boom" Carlton (sonny) Roach 1946, the Bertphone Bertie Marshall, the 9 and 12 basses Rudolph Charles, and the first man to balance a pan on his knees and play with two sticks, was Aldwin (chick magoo) Springer of "Hell's a Poppin", I hope this info help's, save it U may need it again...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 29, 2015 at 10:14pm

      Yeah BEDE, I know, I just didn't add it in, but my favorite's were Run, Night & Day, because we/Panam played them as well, I liked those tunes because they were simple and "Sweet" when City Symphony played them, I also liked their rendition of The Barber of Seville so much, that I arranged it in BWI A Sunjets West Side Symphony in 1968, and I still have the sheet manuscript...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 29, 2015 at 6:46pm

      Yeah BEDE, the guy/gentleman's  to whom I was refering to is the late "Walker" who use to tune the front line pans for "City Symphony" and Michigan the arranger of "Run, Night and Day and The Barber of Seville", they played these tunes with us Pan Am North Stars and Clarence Curvan one nite at Port Services on Wrightson Road in 1962 and the Center in St Paul Street 1963, this was before Wallace and Bertie... 

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 29, 2015 at 6:17pm

      BEDE; in 1961after his return from hospital, Herman "rock" Johnston while working with Williams, decided to drop out 4 lower notes from the double seconds which started at low Eb, Eb E F F#, that took Johnston to G, a middle G in the cello range, so now North Stars had two type of double seconds, one high from G and one low from Eb, "rock" did that middle range tonal evolvement, "Bertie Marshall" in 1964 had to amplify his pans to get it to sound the  way Tony and Rock had our pans sounding naturally, and as for Wallace Austin, I know him when he visited my nextdoor neighbour in 1962, and I had passed on some of Rock and Tony's octave tuning information to him before he started tuning for "Gay Flamingo's", so just go back and listen to "Roses from the South", and as U played the "Echophone" with West Side on "Smoke get's in your Eyes", tell me who tune dem pans...

    • Juanitto Jordano Jorda'ninho August 29, 2015 at 3:34pm
      BEDE; I've already passed on this/that information to you, so I'll reiterate, Anthony Williams derive the 4ths & 5ths in 1949, where he studied the movement of the "Planets" that "PYTHAGORAS" himself had discovered 500 B.C.during his/Williams study of numerology at the St James Library, on the corner of the Western Main and Bournes Road, he also designed and tuned the first double second from the 4ths & 5ths along with the first double cellos you can see him playing along with Belgrave Bonapart in the 1951 TASPO photo's, and the first 3 set basses that Philmore "boots" Davidson is playing, after getting wind of what Williams did, one Mr Everest Barquin, decided to create a double tenor to give the melody a much louder and lower range, he then assign/apoint Percy "lizard" Thomas to tune the instrument which he totally utilized in the 1956 Music Festival where " Katsinjammers" rendition of the "Breeze and I", other tuner's to tune the double tenor before "Bertie Marshall", the first Rupert "shadow" Nathanial of Symphonettes, Kim Loy Wong and Yuclin Gerard of High Landers, and I know for a fact that "City Synphony" also used the double tenor from 1962/63, but I can't remember whom, but "Bertie Marshall" did not arrived on the scene untill 1964, Williams also derived the home made "Big Tenor Pan" that Brian Copeland called his Genesis G-pan in 1968 as well as the "Quadrophonics and Quad Cellos, I hope this information/insight help FELLARS... BEDE U can share this on the forum, I'm still having a problem with the forum feed.

    I started playing pan with city syncopators in the days of kenny and kelvin hart. played with west side symphony (st james) then with city symphony from St paul st. came to the USA in 1969, played with trinidad & tobago steel band (washington dc), stop playing for a number of years then played and arrange for State side steel orchestra (that time they had the sweetest pan in dc) I do not play any more. I am usually asked to Judge Pan solo competition, Pan competition and calypso competition..
