Thread Name: Reggae music: can you dig it?
Subject: RE: Reggae music: can you dig it?
Reggae has a special significance for me. My son-in-law is from Antigua and plays a lot of it. Two years ago, when he and my daughter had twin boys, I spent a month in Connecticut with them. Wayne introduced me to some great reggae by Peter Tosh, Marley, and Jimmy Cliff. In particular, I love Tosh's "Mystic Man" because Wayne told me, even though I am a woman, it always reminds him of me, since I tend to be a little mystical and vegetarian.

This gentle son-in-law also touched my heart by singing "No woman don' cry" to me the night before I was to leave, when I was sad about it. He made me a tape of all of their favourites, which soon became my favs, too...another one of which is "ReggaeMyLitis." I love reggae, esp. when I am in a certain mood.

Sorry I missed your earlier thread. Thanks for starting it again.
