Its Sunday, just feeling this for today

Yes, I was there! Its literally been decades since I last saw them live. And I had no idea they were celebrating their 50th anniversary. As there are already numerous Steel Pulse tunes posted here (and it is Dancehall Friday after all 😜 ) I gonna big up Cocoa Tea. I had no idea he passed away, and in between Selecter and Steel Pulse the DJ played tune after tune of Cocoa Tea. My personal favourite collab is 'Pirates Anthem', but I'll just enjoy his vibes solo this time... Ah heck, take Pirates Anthem too...I just love this song

I like the mellow vibes, nice to relax at the end of the day now. Could never go wrong with some Gregory Isaacs however I did not know the other one, but I really like it.

It was just a fabulous performance (and I don't really listen to slide guitar), first time I heard him live. It was a 3 night stint actually. See below: https://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/januarybluesfestival/2025 I was back and forth whether I would go, and literally a few hours before the show I bought a ticket. I must have got the last one (?) as a friend tried to get one right after me and it was sold out. I will definitely go and see him again.

Nice one Reggaebass, my kinda ting! I should lie and say I knew but I'll go on the honour system as I had no idea which movie, I had to go hunt it down. I must have seen Cocktail late 80s, over 30 years now! I'll try for the 5 points next time

And while I have a few hours left before midnight, here is this week's instalment for Dancehall Friday

Went to see Sonny Landreth Wednesday. Just him and his guitar, and it was sublime.

Yep, I saw that movie too

What difference does it make if its my 199th post, or my 201st...or my 133rd? None I guess, but we all like (or maybe most of us I think?) nice round numbers. So on the momentous occasion of being a nice round number 200th post on the 1st Jan. 2025, just wanted to say that I'm hoping and praying for everyone in the BC community wherever you are in life right now, a great 2025!

So many parties back in the day with that one when I was a 'bit' younger 😎 (And I never knew 2Pac was in that video! You learn something new everyday)

However he said that he called them yesterday and was told the item was still in The Netherlands, I would not say that is going off the deep end. But at any rate, glad it all ended well.

So it's Friday, and I'm gonna make it unofficially Dancehall Friday After that 'Take a Ride' riddim last week, you all introduced me to Al Campbell. I thought I did not know anything from him (sorry folks, I don't know songs/artists/riddim names, but I'm working on it). Anyways, it caused me to (re)find this gem from the late 90's that I had loved, but not heard in decades! So on the mellower side of Dancehall (I guess?), bounce your head to this one if so inclined.

Whoa...you took me back as I had not listened to that songs in years. The 90s baby!
