Re: twinkles materials - 2 months ago
If you are new to the Twinkle Brothers, I'd suggest Live at Sunsplash, Rasta Pon Top, Countrymen or my newest purchase from them, Bribery and Corruption, but really the Reggae Sunsplash is the one.by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013

Re: Rest in Paradise Sis Issa - 3 months ago
very sad news. I too got to know her from SNWMF and other Reggae shows over the years. I will miss chatting with her at SNWMF this year and with the passing of Bob Salzman- our festival family will miss them. Let us not forget their smiles and photos. Also yesterday I heard of the passing of Upsetter and Hippy Boy, Alva "Reggie" Lewisby DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013
Re: Marley Question - 3 months ago
@ Dubguy, Thanks for sharing that, I'd not heard that and your right it is different. Trying to chase the cartoony image of an Indian Fakir, piping a "Rope Snake" out a basket do you think Richie Havens was making a camoflagued reference to Manila Hemp Rope?by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013

Re: Marley Question - 3 months ago
Pg 140 of John Masouri's excellent book on Familyman "wailing blues" Barrett & the Wailers says it was a soldier who smoked Good herb from Angola who would drop by and roll a spliff But no one could remember his name.

Re: Marley Question - 3 months ago
African Herbsman was written by Ritchie Havens but I wasn't able to find the story in stacks of the Reggae Beat magazine. I will keep looking.by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013
Re: Marley Question - 3 months ago
I can't totally remember the story but I think I read that African Herbsman was a real person who was in the military who scored the best herb.by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013

I saw one of these commercials from VW last night during American Idol featuring someone who really made my SNWMF experience last year, Jimmy Cliff and I found nothing offensive in it.by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013

Re: the Wailers on Tour with Roger Steffens - 3 months ago
hmmm maybe not everybody is tired or will ever tire of hearing Bob's music. Why go see them this time...they will be playing Survival- to me the most powerful of Bob's albums. And for those that didn't get to see Bob Marley, a chance to "Call up Marley's spirit" and celebrate the life and music of Bob Marley. I have a strong feeling that if you love his music, he lives in yourby DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013
Re: the Wailers on Tour with Roger Steffens - 3 months ago
Roger also informed me today that Koolant Brown will not be singing but a singer named D'anglin. But Keith Sterling who played with Peter Tosh's Word Sound and Power will be on keyboards with Aston Barrett Jr. will be on keys as well with Familyman Barrett on Bass. The only song not being played on this tour is "Babylon System" which to me is one of the best songs on Survival andby DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013
Re: the Wailers on Tour with Roger Steffens - 3 months ago
it's not the Drummie Zeb from Aswad, but the Wailers current drummer. I didn't know and someone schooled me. Looking forward to seeing the Wailers and Roger Steffens Feb 1, 2013 at Humboldt State University. Any other boardies going?by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013

I'd rather listen to Snoop Doog (I mean lion) than to listen to the "Legendary Jah B" sing a piece of dog dropping like "The Almighty is a rapper". Maybe it's time to "Hit back the crack- with a dubble attack?"by DJ BIG JIM - SNWMF Phorum 2013
