@jerome ebenezer clarke i could relate to what u r saying bro cause i'm in another country doing what i love which is playing and arranging steel pan music and makes me fell sad when i can't do the same thing back home and make a life for me and my family so that is very disturbing,anyhow on the bradley situation i can tell you that he was my music teacher and he was the best thing that happened to me in terms of music and i give him nuf respect and he should rest in peace.
What i am about to mention may cause uproar,but facts is facts,,firstly it,s first time i,ve listened to Clive braleys arrangement,,so ,,,no comments,,,everyone should understand why,,,relevant to this work of his,,has these genuises being renumerated,,i,m not speaking only in the terms of cash,,what about a piece of land with a house thereon free of charge, which is payment for dedication to ones country,,not only for Clive Bradley but the other professionals such as Len B Sharpe,etc,the Steelpan Tuners, in doing this there would be less migration of these god given talented individuals,not being treated with honour and value sometimes can cause inner dis//satisfaction,,i,ve been there and have seen and did experience same,i,m now in another land,The truth,,,i,m not here for the purpose of giving orders just, voicing my opinion,,whosoever has ears to hear let them hear,,amen.
