Today is the 25th anniversary of Bob Marley's death. *sad*

Funny thing is, I didn't even know that this morning and I listened to legend on the way to work.

Ziggy Marley does a great rendition of "Redemption Song" with the Chieftains on "The Wide World Over" CD.

Reggae music kicks. There's a local band that plays at a neighborhood bar out on the deck in the next town over every Thursday evening all summer long. Most relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a Thursday evening.

Then, we can move onto the 2Tone era of ska, that exploded in Englad between 79 and 81, and just like that, it was gone.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-uyWAe0NhQ
