    Reggae-Dub is Music Fusion

    Music is truly the spice of life. Never does a day go by without music, unless of course you live in solitary confinement or prefer to live in complete silence. I have experienced silence, especially in the mountains during winter, when it’s snowing. I dig silence but prefer music.

    My father was a giant jazz aficionado and early owner of stereo hi-fi, so my entire life has had a soundtrack. I still like jazz and especially reggae-dub of Brazil Jazz called the Bosa Nova.

    I write here today to declare that I love Reggae-Dub and have for years, it never stops evolving as it swallows-up other genres and makes it reggae. Almost every hit Rock song has a Dub version, check out Dub-Side of the Moon sometime, to hear an example.

    In Rock-n-Roll we sing that there’s nothin better in the world… you know? That sittin in the sun and listening to the radio.

    Reggae is the root of Reggae-Dub

    Cool thing about today’s radio, in my case YouTube Music, this is not an endorsement but I have been Pro for over a decade because I enjoy “all you can eat” music programs AND since it comes with bundled benefits on the the YouTube studio aspect.

    When I’m sitting in the sun I often listen to new hits and if I like them I add them to my Playlist called Beach Party and now that list is over one thousand saved songs, which I use for parties and at my favorite beach in Vancouver, on RANDOM selection

    My ears heard new music today that has prompted me to write this post to say – Check out this Album, oh and yeah I am able to download entire albums that way I’m not burning up my data on my phone while riding around on my mountain bike.

    Reggae

    Play I some music! Root’s Rock, Reggae! Everyday I go to the beach for sunset and swim in the sea but before I dive in I make sure I play loudly my master blaster, by startin off the jammin with Bob Marley – Play I some music.

    So what’s been happening over the past few days is people have been coming to me at the shoreline and thanking “I” for supply the tunes, which I play loud via Charge 4 Harmon Acoustics and I mention to a few folks, now and then, that it’s Bob Marley’s 75th Birthday, and we’ve been granted permission (from the top) to play Reggae-Rock to commemorate Bob Marley.

    The Supreme Commander and Head Creator of all things, RasTafari Jah, has demanded and commanded, that this the 75th Anniversary of the Prophet Bob Marley, be recognized in all hamlets of all boroughs of terra firma. Hereby, it is dictated from on above high, to play “Roots, Rock, Raggae” until the heavens bounce it back on earth.

    You are hereby granted (by Jah) authority to Rock Bob Marley!

    Root’s Rock, Reggae was written to embrace all music enthusiasts, all together in one song to introduce Reggae to the mainstream. People everywhere in the world identify with Bob Marley, his message has the largest possible circumference of fans, compared to any other genre or niche of music, all people, even babies, love Bob Marley.

    So, now that I’ve pitched you, let me tell you my own experience, if you just play his songs when people need to hear them, and no one else is providing soundtrack for our great lives, then you go ahead and play Roots Rock, Reggae and make the world a better place by bring a vibe of peace and truth.
