This tune brings back some sweet memories. Those were the days when pan was everywhere. We did not receive a lot of money, but our hearts was into it. And to think people still wonder why it is called a steel orchestra. Excellent piece.. Thank you very much WST I deffinitely listen.

This is so nostalgic. What a pity only audio recordings were done then.

Well, this is certainly nostalgia at its best. Takes me back to my childhood. Ai-ah-yiiiiii!
