Re: Water Holes - 17 days ago

Went swimming at the Hendy bridge yesterday. Go down to the river from the bridge walk west about 1/4 mile, fording the knee deep water twice, til you come to a nice little island (actually now a peninsula), the river would be to your south and it narrows against the bank....water is overhead for about 30 yards,gentle current and very cool......no shade so bring your own, you can stop at the

Re: Lee Perry On Bunny - 5 weeks ago

Reel wasn't talking about Lee Perry. As usual he was talking about himself. Translated: "I am the kind of grudgeful pest who never misses an opportunity to slag off real writers like Dave Katz . I am the sort of creep who diverts any topic to self-important pronunciations. I am a mean, bitter, resentful little man whose talent is.......what exactly?" .

The 3 groups oopposed tend to be: 1) young people who have no health problems and who can't imagine being burdened by a chronic disease. 2) Rich people who can afford anything 3) People on Medicare The 30 million of the very poor are already covered, this extends coverage to the next tier up, working people whose employers don't provide health care benefits, most of them middle-aged with

Love your group, Zoki. I don't know where this video was made, but apparently you can still buy quaaludes there.

Re: RIP Jamal Andrews AKA "J-Meazy" of HighGrade All-Stars - 1 year ago

Jamal Rasaan Andrews, 30, of Redwood Valley, died Tuesday January 24th, when he was taken from the world in a senseless and violent act. Jamal was born to David and Lucy Andrews on October 12, 1981, in Willits, CA. He grew up in the mountains of Laytonville, a happy and adventurous child. In school, he enjoyed sports such as soccer, basketball, and baseball. As an adult, his passion for life incl

Re: RIP Jamal Andrews AKA "J-Meazy" of HighGrade All-Stars - 1 year ago

I don't doubt that there was a racialist element to this tragedy, but more than that the killer is mentally ill. Unfortunately, this is almost exactly the same situation as the crazy guy who killed two people in Jackson Forest last summer. It will emerge as this case goes forward that Jamal's killer had profound psychiatric problems. And, as we know, Community Mental Health is non-existent in

Re: Unappreciative Artists - 1 year ago

Never had money dealings with artists so maybe that's why the majority of them seemed to have been "appreciative", but the notable exception for me was Tiger. He really went out of his way to be unpleasant.

Re: Pat Kelly @ The Rockit Room in SF this Saturday 9/17/11 - 1 year ago

Didn't mean it to sound harsh Adam, the point being when he performed at SNWMF a few years back, he DID sound like he sounded in 1969!

Re: RIP Leonard Dillion - 1 year ago

Had the good fortune of meeting him and playing him some of his more obscure tunes, he flipped out over Honey Bunch, had me play it over & over. The only tune that he sang along with.

Re: Jamaica Drug Lord Pleads Case In A Letter - 1 year ago

In Jamaica if you can't afford a school uniform you can't go to school. I wonder if there more school-leavers or less during his reign of social disruption. I'm guessing much more.

Re: Studio One Dave - 2 years ago

Oh man. What a nice guy. Spent some happy hours in his living room as he played his favorites. He sold me a lot of his store stock very generously. He had one of the first reggae shops in California back in the 70s. Had a funny story about Leroy Smart, who interestingly lived in the San Diego briefly back then. They went to the movies together, some kind of action flick, and Leroy got the

Re: Jah Woosh? - 2 years ago

Seems to be true. One of those great 70s deejays. We need to get one of those at SNWMF before they're all gone. Prince Jazzbo? Trinity? Dillinger? (well maybe not Dillinger)

Re: You are old - 2 years ago

First realized this many years ago when I brought a cd of some of my favorite tunes to a local Jamaican restaurant. My very cute waitress was dancing happily to them and then came over to my table and said "I love these songs - my granny used to listen to them."
