BTW Age 64 cannot be correct.

[Peter R]

Sorry folks.

Ten year anniversary! RIP.

Didn't he pass ten years ago? At 64 years old?

[Peter R]

Yes... just saw this repost on FB and got "caught". I think it was in remembrance of the (approach of) the ten year anniversary of his passing.

[Mosiah]

No worries.

i saw Desmond Dekker perform in London in the late 80's. He was still fit looking, and dressed in all leather, wearing a leather cap too, big belt wide silver studded belt. He looked the rock star part...despite his age. The venue was a basement bar, with probably no more than 150 people stuffed in there...maybe only 20% of the crowd were Jamaican, everyone else was English. Great evening, all the English gyal dem was rub up an' gwaan bad ... very enjoyable night for me. I distinctly remember a young lady asking me "Is an Israelite the same as an Israeli"...ahh sah...twas like shooting fish in a barrel. RIP DD.
