The disintegration of “The
Rosie Show” is a good example of
what went wrong. O’Donnell was
wooed back to television by a $20-
million, two-year deal, but her
show quickly veered off the rails.
Although O’Donnell had host-
ed successful talk shows from New
York City, OWN moved her show
to Chicago so the network could
utilize Winfrey’s set and produc-
tion crew. But without Winfrey’s
ratings and clout, the Chicago
locale made it difficult to lure A-
list guests, who were reluctant to
leave the traditional Los Angeles-
New York talk show circuit for the
Windy City. O’Donnell, a Broad-
way aficionado, also spent loads
of money flying in the casts of
musicals from New York to appear
on her show.
O’Donnell clashed with Win-
frey’s production team, sometimes
even berating them in front of the
studio audience, according to peo-
ple close to the show. Within three
months, O’Donnell scrapped the
set, the studio audience, the band

By Brett Buckner
Special to The Star
This unseasonably warm spring weather
invokes images of relaxing on a remote beach,
toes in the sand, the peaceful rhythm of the
t he s ocean’s lapping waves while the breeze carries the
scent of blooming flowers in its soft embrace.
Sounds like paradise, a soothing break from the
daily grind of work, traffic jams and the demands of
family.
And while the beach may be little more than wishful
thinking for many this time of year, its promise of peaceful
relaxation isn’t so far away — at least musically speaking.
On Saturday, April 14, the historic Monteith Ampitheatre
at McClellan hosts the Southeast Steel Band Carnival, featur-
ing eight steel drum bands — including three local bands.
“It’s going to feel like Jamaica for sure,” said Pete Conroy,
who serves on the Longleaf Arts Council, which has worked for
two years renovating the amphitheater. “I just couldn’t imagine a
more perfect setting for this kind of event.”
Though the novice initially associates steel drums with Jimmy
Buffet, the instrument has a rich history. It was invented on the
island of Trinidad around World War II and is national instrument
of Trinidad and Tobago.
The roots of the steel drum reaches back to African slaves, who
were placed on the island by Spanish and French plantation owners
in the 16th century. Through constant struggles to survive and the
hardships placed upon them by their “masters,” most of these African
slaves lost their native languages, leaving music as the only link to
their heritage.
What’s now known as steel drum, or pan band, began with the
metal beating bands of the early 1930s. The players used all metallic
instruments (such as tin pans, biscuit drums and dustbins). It was
soon discovered that these metal instruments changed pitch after
being beaten.
