Pantonics just won there first panorama last year. That doesn't make them one of the best as yet. There is no lie that they were the best last year though. No...
I really like to see how people are so amazed by the beautiful sound of OIL DRUMS. The way they look at it and try to understand how and why each note has such...
That's so true. But a lot of people forget to realize Pantonic members was Metro players but just playing with Pantonic's now. Yes last year we won to prove to...
Nah gyul. CASYM (maybe not every year) do come out with some tunes that can if not win panorama, can come 4th and higher. A couple times they definitely had a...
I'm curious: with players moving from band to band, even playing in multiple bands, how can any one band really be considered "better" than another, except in...
Good question wlotus. To add to that, somebody please tell me I am wrong, but hasn't the winning bands for the last 3 years all played the same Bradley ...
If my memory serves me correctly, Despers USA won Brooklyn Panorama through most of the '90s, and I don't recall them playing a Bradley arrangement when they...
I think the majority of players stay with one band. What makes one band better than the other for the most part is the music. The arrangement and even the ...
That is correct. As a matter of fact, we played David Rudder tunes to years straight. I've been there two years now. No one else played Monserat or the one we...
Yeah Al fuh real. I think that's a major focal point. No matter how much variation in a panorama piece you should still hear some idea of the theme. And Lotus...
Ah boy...that reminds me of the Stars at home. Curry Tabanc-who? Suck Meh Soucouyant-what? Me and which Lady? Doh Back Back?? Oh loss, I still jumpin, I still...
On that note, after listening to all 12 panorama finalists this year a million times, I can say that I have that grouse with the band that won, Desperadoes....
I never paid much attention to interpretation, until I saw the posts here about it, and I have to agree. I have even more of a gripe with the sloppiness of...
I used to play with CASYM and like BigALJr said they are good around Panorama time. Arddin really hooked them up with some wicked arrangements. I play with Pan...
To me CASYM is famous for being in Miami for Carnival every year. And they always have the crowd jumpin, playin the latest music. It must be nice to have a...
I haven't heard a steelband "bomb tune" for many years now (the fact that I used the word BOMB will immediately show up my age) but even back in the 60s ...
If you would like to hear a classic bomb tune by the master "Sir" Neville Jules, purchase the brand new CD "The Nostalgic Panyard" by Trinidad All Stars. Track...
I started playing pan in 1989 for Pan Rebels and we used to play a BOMB tune for j'ouvert. So doh feel is just a long time thing. It's fun and I hope Rebels...
Didn't know you were in this club too Hazel_I. I can't remember if I heard Rebels tune so I don't know how good the tune was. I heard people saying that they...
I don't know about you folk but I love to see bass players jumpin up and movin in sync. CASYM bass players have it cork. I love to watch them guys play. ...
When i used to play with Metro we plyed BOMB tunes to and for the past 2 years Pantonic been out we so played. We won Last year for Bomb competition....
Besides the power of the bass, the energy of most bass players is what makes that section of any steel orchestra my favorite. I like T'dad All Stars' bass...
I was there in the early years like 91-93. Then I joines Rebels in 94. The experience in CASYM is good for young kids wanting to learn how to play pan. I...
Yes Al I am in this club. Remember Babes I am a pannist. LOL. Are you playing this year and who will you be playing with. I not to sure if I will be playing ...

Ummm...folks.....don't find me rude, but how about we get back to some pan talk? BigAlb and Hazel, I am very happy for the 2 of you, finding each other's ...
Is this club supposed to be 100% Pan Talk? Are we not allowed to go off the subject a little? Nothing is wrong with now and then off-the-topic conversations....
