A Lifetime of Pan: Episodes from a lifetime as a Steelband Man

By Joseph E. Roseman

Book Overview

A Lifetime of Pan documents some of the author's considerable knowledge of the steelband movement as he shares his extensive experiences, as he relates to his son Jason. Having been through so much, Roseman seems like a walking encyclopedia of steelband information. In fact, many of his ideas have helped create systems that people now take for granted.

Discover how the single tenor pan got its name. Read the unknown story behind the 1979 steel band panorama boycott. Find out who created the first fifty-five gallon steelpan musical instrument and much more.

Roseman's unique style of storytelling, which is at times somewhat conversational, allows his personality to shine across this collection of memories, organized into Episodes. Roseman, as he is popularly known among pan men, will always be remembered as one of the great pan tuners in Trinidad and Tobago also a champion of the steel band movement.
