R.I.P. LUCKY DUBE. YOU WILL BE MISSED - BUT YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS....FOREVER.HI, thanks for stopping in! I was invited to be here...so here I am! I'm a huge lover and supporter of reggae music. Life without music is not worth living. My favorite place to vacation is Jamaica. My two favorite people in my life (aside from family and friends) are my dogs!

My Interests

Reggae Music - I am a former manager and promoter of reggae music for artists from NY to Jamaica...(do you remember Tues nite reggae @ SOBs, the good 'ole days!!) my love for the music is still there! I love anything interesting or cultural in NYC and/or BROOKLYN. Great new restaurants - pref Thai and Caribbean, Vegetarian too. LOVE incense and natural oils - good sniffs! Love Coffee, Chai Tea and of course, Chocolate! Addicted to shopping and shoes...OK, mostly shoes. Love Poetry readings, dub poetry especially, comedy shows, people watching, visiting boardwalks in the summer, traveling to Jamaica....music festivals and keeping in touch with old friends - even if only thru email and the occasional phone call....good friends are forever.

I'd like to meet:

People who enjoy reggae as much as I do - or more (if that's possible!!) Spread the vibe of reggae and the music will live forever.

Television:

Don't watch much TV - I have digital cable solely for the Music Choice Channel....Reggae, of course. Loved Sex and The City - now it's gone, bought the DVDs, so I can still enjoy them!

Books:

Anything tropical/exotic - and anything about Reggae, Rasta or Jamaica. Also, anything by the wonderful writer and friend of mine, Colin Channer. ABOUT THE BOOK: An IRON BALLOON is an "unbreakable singer" in Jamaican dancehall language. And unbreakable in music is not a good thing. When the Calabash International Literary Festival Trust began its workshops in 2003, most people said the writing talent in Jamaica had been cased in tempered steel. People had been saying this so much it had turned into a truth. So nobody tried to break it out. On an island with a population closing in on three million, only one workshop existed and it wasn't cheap.Taking many cues from the local music industry, the dynamo that helped to generate careers for acts like Bob Marley and the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, and Shabba Ranks, the Calabash Writer's Workshop has produced a loud discordant chorus of contrary fiction writers who're encouraged to value the sound of their voice.

Heroes:

Bob Marley, Clint Eastwood, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and God (in all forms)....
