Ousley remembers the first time he ever enters the 100 Club, five years earlier in 1973. He sees George Melly and John Chilton’s Footwarmers along with their special guest Beryl Bryden, a lusty lady from Norwich who plays a washboard and attempts to sing the songs of Bessie Smith sans the American accent. Melly tells the audience there that he sure ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’; he relates how heby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2019

The best time to be in Jamaica was between 1962 and 1966, when ska ruled the roost and Buster danced it on Orange Street. After that, the United States fronted by Seaga brought in their favourite guns and the island has never been the same. In the 19th century England was the evil Empire; in the 20th century that role is played by the good ole USA. Reelby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2019
