   The notes on these pages make an attempt to describe steelbands ‘as they are’.

   There is this difference between the reality, and my understanding and definition of what that reality is.

   They are as different as a mango is to a coconut.

   I am an infant to this subject. In time, as my understanding improves; as the existing authorities on the subject are discovered and consulted; as the steel drum masters themselves tell me their stories; these pages will be adjusted and expanded in the hope of better clarity and fewer differences in these viewpoints. Only time will show if the infant matures to the task.

   The subject of the Trinidad and Tobago steelbands is vast; it will take time to build a reasonable site about it.

   I apologise in advance for any errors, omissions or biases that these pages may inadvertently contain, but admit that some of them are obviously mine.

   I have not set out to offend in any way, any person, body or group of individuals; but in case I have, I again wish to apologise.

   Please feel free to email any comments or corrections you may like to make.
