Basics of Reggae

[Who's Your Daddy]

Sixty posts and not one mention of THE ITALS? Man, you guys just haven't lived yet. I second the CULTURE suggestion too! Most of there stuff is great!

Anyone else grow up listening to Dr. Jim Otto on KSBR? The Reggae Showcase. good times, good times...scored some tixs to a Burning Spear show at the Coachhouse way back in highschool. What a night! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Have you heard a new song by ben harper, a raggae tune called "with my own two hands" I worked on the music video and even after hearing it about 50 times, I still like it. try it, you'll like it.

Thanks for all the great ideas folks...I'm on my way to the library (great CD collection in HB main library), and maybe then to the record store after. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
