124 years of combined reggae knowlege...hmmmm

pretty impressive considering they would have had to been listening to reggae in the mid '40s

WOW! really seems interesting.anyone recording that session on the sound board or something ? Could really be worth it!
Given their ages, they certainly experienced the growth of the reggae roots : mento, r&b, ja shuffle, ska, rocksteady...That makes sense if you're talking about "reggae knowledge" : reggae is not a root, it is a branch of the JA musical tree.

I'm stuck on the West Coast I'm afraid....

You could email Jeremy at Deadly Dragon and ask him if it will be recorded.
