Sincere condolences to the  Pan Lara, P an Evolution, Pan Masters and   Skiffle family, and the pan fraternity on the whole on the passing of  Devon Cumberbatch . Devon Cumberbatch “I would love for the instrument to be as mainstream as the piano, guitar or violin. It may have a ways to go, being a fairly young creation, but I believe pan can progress, develop and infiltrate music of all cultures. I would love to see it as an instrument for all peoples, and universally accepted. The history of the pan is just as important as the future where it can potentially end up and blossom.” -  Devon Cumberbatch    Related content:  Meet Devon Cumberbatch - Maryland ,   Details for Devon’s funeral:   Funeral Service is on February 8th at 12pm.

When Steel Talks extends condolences to tuner Billy Sheeder on the passing of his mother Hilda Ann Sheeder.  Hilda Ann Sheeder Hello family & friends. This morning we laid to rest my wonderful mother, Hilda Ann Sheeder (maiden name Stake), beside my beloved father in Saltilla, Pennsylvania. She was 89 years young. When mom & dad married they birthed two daughters in the ’50’s. In the late ’60’s, my sisters were in a car accident - my surviving sister was badly injured, and my eldest sister - Linda, tragically did not survive the crash. I was born 9 months later. Mom was a piano teacher, waitress, LPN, WV Mountaineer sports fanatic, election official/volunteer, avid bowler, beach seeker, rummy/bridge card club host-queen, and much more. Because of my mom and dad’s sacrifices, I became the first child of our broader family to attend college (WVU), followed by my dear niece and nephew. Mom was the type to forgive and forget, not judge, always gave other people the benefi
