A Lifetime of Pan documents some of the author's considerable knowledge of the steelband movement as he shares his extensive experiences, as he relates to his son Jason. Having been through so much, Roseman seems like a walking encyclopedia of steelband information. In fact, many of his ideas have helped create systems that people now take for granted.
