oh right, peaches. reggae never crossed my mind but now that you mention it i guess, sort of
Avatar 🥃 ♥ 9:49pm
Harry Parmenter:

↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48
just the beat. that bass line .
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:51pm
coelacanth∅:

↳ Harry Parmenter @9:49
Yes.
...i guess i draw a fairly solid line with calling something reggae. like, that Rico song is *border* reggae! (sort of ska)
and most of what comes out of jamaica now is far far from reggae.
  9:51pm
Chuck:

↳ Harry Parmenter @9:49
John Lennon fell for ska pretty early on... understandable...:)

i've seen a few of the "big" ones but none of the wailers. i didn't really get full-on into reggae until after Marley had left us. i was into Tosh and black uhuru before that, but never saw them perform.
