Ray Holman goes north to Alaska
Like a bright ray of sunshine, Ray Holman came to Fairbanks, Alaska and led five local steel bands through a memorable program of his compositions that drew a standing ovation from a large and very appreciative audience.
As he arrived, the weather broke and the snow started to melt. As he rehearsed the various groups who would be performing, and despite fears it would be a chilly reception in such a cold place, he found everyone very cheerful and friendly, hungry to hear pan.
