Recounts his memories of growing up with Bertie Marshall in close proximity, and also Desperadoes. DN talks about his father going up the hill to take a ‘last jump’ with Desperadoes, and his mother saying “be careful, Tokyo [steel orchestra] might be coming up the streets, and you [DN’s father] in the middle.” Which was why, growing up, his father did not want him to play pan. But this was not at all from a social stigma point of view, but rather out of concern for DN getting caught up in steelband rivalries and potential clashes. So DN’s father allowed him and his brother to play mas, to maintain some connection with their culture, though not pan. click for full story http://www.panonthenet.com/news/2010/may/Dalton-5-17-10.htm
