Great piece and what a good musician. Pan music reflects the feel of the island and Len is clearly the master of his instrument.

Matilda!…
Steel drums are absolutely the best! And Lem is fantastic!
How about a segment on the Love City Pan Dragons? Some great kids who can play steel and a StJ tradition.

Really cool, thanks guys

Very nicely done, especially the end. We are tropical hot in NJ but NOTHING beats the visions and sounds of St.John, thank you for bringing them once again. Have a wonderful weekend.

I love steel drum music. There is nothing else quite like it to put you in a Caribbean frame of mind. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you for this little taste.

Good stuff!
August 21st, 2009 10:22
It’s like laying back during a heavy thunderstiorm and listening to the raindrops – relaxing. Beautiful music. I wish they would teach the steel drum in the states as a musical instrument.
Thanks for the few minutes to reflect.

I think you just found the perfect person to compose the OSJ theme song!!!!
Excellent segment especially at the end seeing the clear- rolling water with the pan music…perfect marriage of the visual with the music….job well done…why not take the rest of the day off…you two earned it!!

steel drum….take me away! perfect!

I had never thought about how the steel drum instruments are made before and I enjoyed hearing about it. We learn about a lot of cool stuff here.
Great job, as always. Thanks.

Great to see Lem and to hear his music again! He is a very talented native musician. Great interview!

Nice segment!!

Steel drum music is so wonderful and soooo Caribbean. The sounds on this video took me back to the islands immediately Thanks for this segment. I never knew about Lem and hope to see him when we go to STJ again.

I have one request for Jeff and Russ. Perhaps every once and a while you guys could simply post a montage of beach and water clips backed by steel drum music. No talking no expalination … just a little something to take the edge off.
August 23rd, 2009 14:08
Nice interview. Good job, Beeble!
August 24th, 2009 13:48
Just listened to Lem… as I sit here at my desk (here in Pensacola, Florida) trying to work. Something about that music just makes you SMILE and chair-dance!! I unplugged my earphones and my office buddies looked up and GRINNED! Thanks for this video!
