( Rasta let mi you wey happen to mi,rasta let mi tell you wey mi du ) Ye mon mi dey inna one bar with an internet juke box ,mi search and i found some old Ska music(Skatalites )and select a few then when back to the bar to sip on my beer ,rasta when the music hit mi , mi get up off the stool and start drop some legs ,i honestly did not plan to do this and it was my first beer so i was\nt in that zone ,that would\ve been out of the norm for me to act like this ,there were four other people playing pool ,when the music stop they came over inquiring , the origin of the music and , so when i told them Jamaica they were supprise ,they end up making a contribution to the juke box and ask me to play some more and mix it with some reggae ,(yes i rasta know)

I've had the exact same experience with an internet jukebox! People are so mainstreamed into Pop, Rock and Country in the U.S.A. that anything like Ska or Reggae is just so exotic. A breath of fresh air so to speak.

Have you ever played Reggae around little kids? 2, 3 or 4 year olds? They always break into a dance of delight. Kind of a Natural Mystic Moment. LOL!

Have "Felt the Power" myself for several years! Wish there was a good Reggae radio station in California. I haven't listened to the radio in 6 years! Don't miss it though! Love technology - got my itunes, got Pandora, got Sirius, got all the Reggae Vibes I and I need :-) ONE LOVE Gentlemen!!!

Good Gracious I miss JAMAICA - booking my March 10' trip will relieve some of the longing!!!
Looking forward to the Reggae in the Valley Festival right there in St.Elizabeth :-)

Tell me more about the Reggae festival, please. I take it that it's in March? An annual event?
