My Fellow Mausicans,
I attended the Festival in Pan Workshop at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. That's where, the father of the Modern Steel Drum, Dr. Ellie Mannette, has been sharing and teaching the wonders of pan for the last seventeen years.
It was a marvelous, eye-opening experience. About ninety-six students participated in the workshop. They came from as far away as Alaska, New Mexico, Florida and Colorado. About ninety-eight per cent Causican, men and women, young and old. Ray Holman and Andy Narell wee among the instructors.
Picked up a very informative book written by Dr. Myrna Nurse, a Trinidadian.. "Unheard Voices" should be in all the schools in TNT.
I'll share more in my next piece.
