.."Bob" Marley!



Fish on...

Todd

RIP

Bob would have been 68 today. Some of my favorite tunes of Bob Marley are from his ska days when the group was called the Wailing Wailers with Junior Braithewaite & Beverly Kelso in addition to Peter and Bunny. Bob was about 16 when he first recorded in 1962.
I was walking down the street in B'ham in 1975 & thru the open door of a music store, I heard 'Kinky Reggae' from the "Catch a Fire" LP. I went in & bought it & it's still one of my favorite lps of all time. It's more of the original Wailer line up & was the first reggae lp by the same group rather than a complilation of tunes by various artisits. Reggae was & is primarily a singles driven musical genre'.
Reggae music is now heard world wide due in no small part to Bob and The Wailers.

Here's a good one if you like a likkle ska:

He is no God but his music was and still is a force. Plenty of wisdom to be plucked out. 2 of my favorites below.

You can play this one at my funeral:


And play this one to bring me back:

suppose to be a bow

Pretty well sums it up.
Toe cancer of all things.....

Good man. Anybody who has the ability to bring so many together in a peaceful manner is a good man in my book.

Love listening to some Marley.

Tastes in music are personal and subjective, so I won't bash you for being an unappreciative a-hole.

He was just moochin Salmo.

Marley, Santana, Clapton, the list goes on
