Bon soir to you and you and even you. This show was recorded yesterday so don't be mad at me for not commenting on the newly unearthed photo of Robert Johnson.

Little Danny it's on island records? Might be a cover Owen Gray did a lot of work for Dodd before that and it wouldn't be usual to cover American rhythm and blues that's popular in JA at the time.

Mr. D- I vaguely remember that. Seems so long ago...

Yeah Danny I know what you mean, there's a familiarity, like it's a Big Joe Turner song or something...

I think at that point Owen was working with the Carribs. Fun fact the original percussionist for the Caribs who claims to have invented Ska, his son lives in journal square, a good friend of mine. He's of Jamaican Indian heritage and people are always so surprised when he opens his mouth and speaks patois!

At that time in Jamaica most sound systems were playing American music and it was super common for ska/bluebeat to lift lyrics, melodies, etc so I wouldn't be surprised. Not sure how island felt about that though haha

Hey Matt and all, I just heard about this organization that helps poor and elderly blues musicians in the rural south and it seems they are doing a lot of good things. I hope you don't mind me posting this, Matt: https://musicmaker.org
