Let's hear it for Pan Times/WST.
I don't know about you guys, but I think that one of the most significant developments in the steelband world in modern times has been the development of the internet, and particularly, of Pan on the net, Pan Times, When Steel Talks or whatever they choose to call themselves.
Their role in promoting steelband culture around the world has been invaluable.
Their impact on this year's panorama is undeniable, from providing up to date information about all things related to the panorama events, to encouraging dialog and information exchange among pan people, to (IMHO) even helping to prod Advance Dynamics to improve their production values.
Their contribution to the steelband movement in general has been immeasurable.
I know I've said some of this before, but I feel so strongly about this that I do not think it can be overstated.
As a die hard pan lover , I cannot thank them enough, and I like to think that I speak for thousands of pan fans out there.
Thank you very, very much, Pan Times/WST.
