The morning drive in...

On my way into work this morning I tuned into one of the Jamaican radio stations to hear some way back in the day music. Where I live those stations are not available as the signal does not get that far up but as I approach the area where I actually work I can hear the signal getting stronger as I approach the city. And once it became clear I heard the tunes. Another station has Thursday mornings Caribbean mix so I switch back and forth. I heard some Shabba Ranks, Lt. Stitchie, Cocoa T, Ninja and Tinga. Ah tellin yuh took me back in the dayyyyy.

I was jamming to the music so much with this big smile on my face that I swear that the people in the cars next to me must have thought I was crazy. But the thing is that there are times when I truly miss JA. The climate, the music the people and the culture.

So, when I hear the little bit of music on the reggae station I hold onto it and appreciate it so much more. So if you happen to be in the South Florida area and see some guy just jamming to the music in the car next to you looking crazy, that might be me. But now you know why.
