Dear
Diary,
Tonight, down in Starlift Steel Orchestra Pan Yard, I met a
famous Pan player Mr. Liam Teague. I got him to sign my pan sticks in a black
permanent marker. Tomorrow will be a big night in the Pan Yard when the
Panorama judges will be coming in to give critique on the music. How exciting?
Mr. Lewis took the group with whom I had gone down to the Pan Yard with to Wendy’s Restaurant. It was the first time I tried it. I bought a pack of fries and saved the white paper bag it came in. It was nice to go back home because, after all those long hours of training, they really gave me bad cramps that I sometimes couldn't walk the other mornings.
Upon reaching home, I got clear masking tape and wrapped it around the signature on the pan sticks to keep the ink in place and avoid stains or smudges. This was one of the concerns Mr Teague mentioned before he was about to sign the sticks.
