As I mentioned on the aforementioned thread, I love reggae...and not because of its association with ganja. Danced to reggae music many a time and have had many Anglo/Jamaican acquaintances over the years which helped my "style" and movement. Occasionally take out my "Bob Marley..Legend" video and have a watch. "No woman no cry" being the firm favourite.
Hum some of the reggae tunes to yourself without the reggae beat and perhaps you may recognise a few folkie sounds.........
Best wishes, Mike.
