Thanks Glenroy, for my all-time favorite All Stars performance.

It's also my favorite calypso by Scrunter.

I agree that this is the greatest arrangement and performance ever. I can never hear this too many times. Thanks you All Stars.

The Greatest Panorama Arrangement of all time. The reaction every single time this tune is played by All Stars is consistently phenomenal. No other arrangement by any band can claim to do that. Simple, sweet, effective, this is Panorama music at its pinnacle.
