This brightly illustrated children's story is based on the life of Winston "Spree"
Simon (1927?-1976), a pioneer in the development of Caribbean steel drum, or
pan.
Young Winston longs to play in the Carnival parade that takes place in John John,
Trinidad each year, but he doesn't have a band or even an instrument to play. That
changes, however, when he discovers that he and his friends can turn the contents
of a local
junkyard into their own unique percussion ensemble. Book, 32 pages.
