Pan Times,
Was going over the comments and realized I did not acknowledge your info on where to find the results.
I was so absorbed that I did not come back to say a great big thank you for your response.

Very fortunate to enhance one of Trinidad and Tobago great panist. The rest is history.
Brenda you can find a summary on 1998 results at this link http://www.panonthenet.com/history/NewYorkResults.htm
Don't worry, Khuent Rose, it's not about being "green", Panorama is always kind of surreal.
And the Panorama night tempo makes it even more so.
I know that speed is a requisite of Panorama performances, but unfortunately you miss a lot of what the arranger is doing.
These cool down versions are very refreshing.
And BTW, while I understand why it is done, I concur with everyone who complain about the voice tags..
The question that I have is if this version took 15 mins to execute how fast was this performed? '98 was one of my "green" years in pan so I don't remember most of what happened at panoramas: like a strange dream.
The Power of Len "Boogsie" Sharpe...
It is normal in New York for front line players to carry their own personal instruments sometimes to a panyard. However, this was the first time I ever saw bass players rolling a six bass into a yard to make sure there is a pan for them to play.
Mr. Sharpe,
That is fantastic. It is nice to hear a slow tune for a change. My breathing is still slow and controlled (smile). I like the arrangement. You get a thumbs up for that one. Keep up the good work.
