Ray Holman - Ken “Professor” Philmore Remembered

 

Ken “Professor” Philmore

....His music was infectious. He had a flair – style and flair when he was performing, man, he was a consummate showman – that endeared him. He endeared himself to people all around the world, and he, I think, was responsible for many people, who had not come in contact with the steelpan – to get to love it. He drew a lot of people to it. So he did a lot of work for his country in promoting an instrument that he loved so much... Ray Holman - Educator, Champion Arranger, Composer
