When Steel Talks (WST) extends Happy Birthday greetings to steelband administrator, historian, composer and veteran panist Michael Marcano

   



President, Renegades Steel Orchestra

Happy Birthday to Michael Marcano 

January 26th

““...For it to be deemed the world’s greatest show, it must be of a certain caliber. Only the best steel orchestras in the land should be on display. A band can’t keep its doors locked for 11 months in the year, invest no time or effort in training young players, then come January, pull out some instruments, hire a bunch of mercenaries – for whom government must pay the bill - and enter Panorama.”” Michael Marcano
