A Tune for Panorama
Last year, one-of-a-kind calypsonian Crazy and I teamed up to produce a song for Panorama in Trinidad. The tune, entitled "Pan Wisdom," was written to honor the retirement of Wichita State University professor J.C. Combs and is an homage to pan players, builders, arrangers and tuners everywhere. To check out the tune as well as the complete line-up of offerings for the 2009 Panorama season please check out: http://www.panonthenet.com/tnt/2009/tunes/pan_wisdom.htm
