Howdy,

I’ve been trying to piece together an early reggae / rocksteady show for a few months now and with the help of a friend, Julie, I was able to pull off an hour or so.  I have unfortunately only scratched the surface with these tunes in this post but it’s a beginning, and hopefully I’ll get another set of this sorta music together in the coming (winter) months.
