  Today I'm listening again to this masterpiece by Boogsie. To me, this is definitely one of Boogsie's top ten, maybe even one of his top five arrangements.

  This is another example as to why I'm not a fan of panorama judging.

  I particularly  love the syncopated bass runs in this piece, reminiscent of pan music for the road back in the old days before electronic noise, when the sound of a steelband's basses could be heard from a distance, and  signified that a band was approaching.

  Like I always maintain, picking a winner on Panorama Finals night is purely a judgement call.

  IMHO, Jit's arrangement of Kitch's "Guitar Pan" didn't beat Boogsie's arrangement.

  Thr Judges just preferred Renegade's performance over Phase II's performance that night!

  Listening to this tune again ( on my Ipod while working out) I realized how much Boogsie's bass arrangement reminded me of pan from the old days.

  Anyone under forty cannot relate to this , but in the days before the DJ's and all that electronic noise, the real Power of Pan was felt on the road on Carnival day, when the first thing you heard from an approaching steelband was the bass rumbling in the distance.

  Boogsie's bass arrangement in this tune reminded me of those days.

  (I know young people don't like us old timers doing the"back in the day" thing, but that's what we do. After all, we lived it.)

  I am in the process of writing a PANORAMA-related article for publication. Instead of arrogantly publishing my opinion only, I thought it would be best to solicit commentary from my fellow pan-enthusiast on the subject. The subject is the FOUR (4) MOST OUTSTANDING PANORAMA RENDITION OF ALL TIMES. Please note that I did not say PANORAMA WINNING RENDITION. Reason being, we who follow the artform is well aware that there are several well-deserved panorama wining renditions that did not get their just reward. I will give you my choices in no set order. Despo's "MELDA", Renegade's "BEES MELODY", All Stars "CURRY TABANCA". I will hold on to my N0. 4 and see if it come up on anyone elses list. Put on you thinking caps and help me out on this one. Much thanks!
