Well a new one on me today was I found out that Willie Nelson made a reggae album, it’s called Countryman, I had a quick flick through some tracks, a good one here with Toots 

his guitar looks so cool and some real wear on it

Thght I re-visit this cracking thread..

It's 1980 and I'm on the Ilse of Wight (substantial pub, club and holiday season scene at the time). I was 20 but done a lot stuff and was currently in a very good prog rock outfit with a deal, the coach and UK mainland tours (yes terrible timing etc..it failed  miserably!) Once I'd got myself together I met in a guitar shop a guy called 'Neil Cassidy'. What a revelation this guy was...he could play Reggae like crazy and dance Specials style too. We found a drummer and made a few calls.

The next 18 months ( along time to be in a band back then as there was always something else going on), we stormed it..An amazing time. Just the three of us doing BM, UB40, and all the others.....

A three piece Reggae outfit where everyone knows what there doing is huge fun......Good memories. Got a feeling we broke up when Forget me Knots found its way onto the set list....what?..haha

Great story gb ☝️, the mid 70s to the 80s was imo the best time for reggae
