I had a great time in Trinidad with my brother Norman and friends. Norman playedDouble Seconds with the Desperadoes Steel Orchestra - a long awaited dream came true. Most of this year I spent with Desperadoes, it seemed that anywhere I went I ended back with Desperadoes. Robert Greenidge's arrangement of 'Pan Redemption' was great, and the band is full of so much love, it was a real pleasure to be with the band for the whole season.To View Pictures Visithttp://www.jammasteelpan.net/trinidad09.htm
