In praise of reggae...

Actually, one more... I remember hearing this at a free party once just as the sun was coming up. Love this tune.

Totally agree with everything you have said, Cupid.

The opening bars of Sir Dennis Brown's 'How could I Leave?' is the only song capable of stopping me in my tracks sending a tingle of emotion and memory down my spine.

I suspect most of us singing the virtues of this particular genre and era of a similar age and like to be reminded of our carefree youth!

Hence, I'm going to the BT dance on Wednesday to hear all these great tunes around like minded people.

Anyone else going?

Nice Julian Marley tune to help counter the Brexit blues:

Someone called me "curly locks" earlier today and I was reminded of this classic...been listening to Byles's beautiful voice since...feels and sounds utterly sublime to me and I can't believe that I haven't listened to it for so long...
