Powerfulllllllll.**** music head.



By Mark Jenkins March 6
It might be said that Doctor Dread drank the Kool-Aid — except that the D.C. native’s transformation into an honorary Jamaican had nothing to do with a beverage. As Dread writes in this memoir, his conversion involved three months on the island, a whole mess of ganja and one psychotropic mushroom “put there by the Almighty Jah . . . for me to consume.”

X ... Many thanks for this! I truly appreciate you sharing it

[Sir X]

Anytime mi comparde.

[HL]

Very interesting X.

Always wanted to know more about Dr. Dread.

For me he stands out, because he also produces my favorite reggae group...Israel Vibration.
.
I found it quite remarkable that he produced a 3 Box Set CD album of Israel Vibration. Remarkable because he made each member the group , Apple, Skele and Wiss --Have their individual CD in which they sang lead.

If you are into Israel Vibration. ..you will understand the idea.

BTW, I listened the full interview and read the article. I seldom do this on most post.

H.L might have deep subconscious urges to be a ((wanna ))be rude boy herbalist.

Let me school yuh some more yout-X;

Ever hear 'bout Jah Lewis?

I played his Album (All Gone Astray) on casette so much (back in the days ) till I had to use a pencil to rewind it because it became magnetized....

Also: It's unlikely you would have heard of the group called Foundation. The leader for foundation used to manage Jah Lewis.

Let me break you off a piece Jah Lewis.

Next time i'll introduce you to the group Foundation.

That was a group who use to operate out of Ochi? Jack Ruby use to work with them. You had another guy called Donovan too who was doing good.

If it is I saw them a few times.

Good group but after signing with Island record they disappeared. Maybe they were in Europe.
