From Ping Pong Starboys to Tenor Pan Soloists

This article discusses the evolution of the ping pong to the tenor pan. Winston "Spree" Simon was regarded as the first recognised ping pong soloist but the ping pong had given way to the tenor pan. Other steeldrum players of the sixties and seventies who honed their skills on the music festivals of that time are mentioned.
