Wendy O.Williams.What a sweetie.Good work Ed.Chris,going to the CD store tomorrow to

buy 'Live At Leeds',the cover looks better than my vinyl sounds,thank you.Bob Marley was

a bit too middle class in these parts. The middle class kids got to go to the Carribean with

parents on holidays,ergo the exposure to reggae.Us working class kids were stuck with

tours by The Allman Bros.,Little Feat,Aerosmith,AC/DC,Pink Floyd,Talking

Heads,IGGYSTOOGES,blah,blah BunchofF$ckingGoofs.Point is,you still needed money for

the best seats.

My first exposure to reggae music was from Bahamian students at Barry College (now University) where I was the photographer in the 70's. That was an era when the formerly all girls' school started admitting first males, and then "people of color", including quite a few from Jamaica and Trinidad. I soon learned the subtleties between Calypso, Rock Steady and Reggae music. Picking up the Miami office of the Jamaican Tourist Development Board as a client for a few years helped also.
