I could fire off some mean mixes of Jamaican music for you! I'm particularly into early dancehall circa 1980-1985 before it started sounding too much like rap...when it still had real instuments, usually played by the Roots Radics - artists like Yellowman, Eek A Mouse, Josie Wales, Little John, Wailing Souls, Sister Nancy, etc. Great stuff!! Even if you are unfamiliar with reggae or know only Bob Marley please help me out!! It can be an eye-opening experience to those unfamiliar! The CD changer in the bar is loaded with Haole Hawaiian recorded off of vinyl and it desperately needs MORE exotica! Send me a list of favorite artists, eras, etc. and I'll let you know what I've got... As a side note...there are only a few extremely popular reggae artists that I have little or none of their music...they are Black Uhuru, Third World and Steel Pulse...always sounded too pop for my liking..... Also just to let the tiki purists know...reggae music is never heard in my bar...tiki and reggae are two of my interests that never mix...

I was just telling the crew about how we left my dreads in Bob's tomb in 9 Miles, Jamaica. I'd rather not be a tiki purest and just enjoy what I like. Life's to short for borders!

When I play bass in either of my bands, there is almost no treble or midrange. It's always bass full on...so I like to think my tone is very similar to reggae style.

Every now and then, a little bit, sure. But I'd mostly rather hear punk, alternate, reggae, rockabilly, and blues. I've got some Burning Spear goin on right now, in fact. Who says it doesn't mix with tiki? Good vibes are good vibes regardless. I raised my kid on the above combination- now don't tell me that doesn't mix! Play what you like in your place!
