A tribute to Starlift & Ray Holman
Lyrics By Henry O. Miller. https://henryomiller.com
THE PEOPLE SAY THAT WE BEATING SWEET
HAVE PEOPLE WILD IN THE STREETS
NOW PANMEN WANT TO DICTATE
WHAT ALL STEETBANDS SHOULD BEAT
WOMEN SHAKING WAISE
GOING CRAZY IN THE PLACE
STILL, THEY MASH-UP WE TENOR
AND DESTROYED WE BASE
BUT IT’S WE THEY WANT TO SPOIL
AFTER YEARS OF TOIL
BUT THEY CAN’T MAKE THE GRADE
WE WERE NOT AFRAID - AFTER
ALL WAS SAID AND DONE
WE CAME BACK WITH -PAN ON THE RUN
IT WAS ADVANTAGE
THEY WENT ON A RAMPAGE
IT WAS PAN ON THE RUN
FOR EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
THEY SAY PAN ON THE MOVE
STILL, PAN-MEN DISAPPROVE
BIG FIGHT! CARNIVAL SUNDAY NIGHT
IT WAS A BURNING SHAME
BUT PANMEN GOT THEMSELVES TO BLAME
TELL ME WHY WE CAN’T COMPOSE
BUT BETAT PENNEY LANE
WHAT PANMEN DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
STARLIFT WANTED TO ADVANCE PAN
FROM THE BIG YARDS TO
THE CONCERT HALLS OF THE LAND
BUT IT’S WE THEY COULDN’T SPOIL
WE CONTINUED TO TOIL
WE WERE NOT AFRAID
WE STILL MADE THE GRAD
AFTER ALL THEIR FIGHTING AND CONFUSION
WE CAME BACK WITH PAN ON THE RUN
IT WAS ADVANTAGE
THEY WENT ON A RAMPAGE
IT WAS PAN ON THE RUN
FOR EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
THEY SAY PAN ON THE MOVE
STILL, PAN-MEN DISAPPROVE
BIG FIGHT! CARNIVAL SUNDAY NIGHT
NOW PAN HAS COME A LONG WAY
PAN AND PANMENMEN ARE HERE TO STAY
BUT WE MUST NEVER FORGET D HISTORY & YESTERDAY
THANKS - FOR YOUR BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS
AND WHAT WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOLDEN YEARS
THANK YOU - RAY HOLMAN, THANK YOU
FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS.

Click on the following links. In this time of Lent, it may be a good time to clean up your act, and end your disobeying of the "Commandments". I know I have. May you be governed accordingly, and judged according to your own works.

Tomorrow, I suggest what may work. But for now, understand that these are corrupt men of ill will. The former president dared relay a threat to me, and had my mother very concerned in 2014. At Roger Israel's office, while on speakerphone, the rogue ex-leader would engage in an expletive-filled rant, telling the (then) permanent secretary to "DON'T GIVE DEM GODDARD BOYS NOTHING!", in our attempts to get help with the town hall meeting. (Yeah; we got nothing. lol.) And, all this while he paying his former education minister hundreds of thousands (that's the money we know about. Remember, the house in Holder's name, the BMW X5, and the Porsche Cayenne?) The PDF file is the audit report in its entirety. Honestly, I do not recall which "whistleblower" forwarded it to me, but, again, they ALL came to me, to do their dirty works, and to clear their names once the works were done. Quite frankly, my well-being is still threatened by these men, who seem to run the association like a mafia organization, more than a body for ALL panmen and panwomen. Kiss his ring, and Diaz made you filthy rich. Maybe he should run for the POTUS office, for we all see that despots have huge followings and immense power. Oh well, make me a martyr. Take me out, like you warned my brother, Don Diaz. If not, I will continue to expose you and any "culture vulture" roaming with our subculture. (Not into kissing rings.) The steelbands have rewarded you very handsomely; allow someone else to "eat-ah-food-nah". To the Awoke: Watch for the "kickbacks" to the retired King, once the Prince from south assumes the throne that was prepared for him. That's the campaign we are witnessing before our eyes; a handpicked young ruler they can manipulate, because they know he is weak and a "useful idiot"! George D. Goddard.

Today, in this Holy Month of Ramadan. The Most Merciful Allah has called back his servant my mother (Iris Wilson). She was 102 years, having given a long innings. We are grateful. I consider my mother a steelpan activist as she was instrumental in having her yard used as a "panyard" for the original Flamingoes in the village. She was the Matriach of the famiy. (RIP Ummi)

On Saturday, November 6th, 2021, Professor Liam Teague of Trinidad and Tobago displayed a masterful pan performance in a NIU Faculty Steel Pan Recital. He was immaculately dressed. His chrome pan shone as if it was a mirror. The sound of his pan induced the taste of honey . He played the standardized cycle of fifth treble pan. He opened the recital with percussive strokes on the side of the pan. Then the professor dazzled the listening audiences with lightning runs and stalk virtuosic glissandos. Later in the recital, professor Teague was well supported by cello, violins, viola, harp, piano, and percussion. Professor Teague Faculty Steel Pan recital was a precursor to pan playing in the twenty-second century.
