On Music Appreciation, Part Two, Or, Records Only Have One Groove

It was just yesterday that we decided to take a day off from politics and talk about music, both familiar and not so much; the conversation ran a bit long, and when we got halfway through we decided to get together tomorrow.

It was pretty fun, what with sewers and male models and Gorillaz and all, and when we had put down the pen it was just after taking in Sarah Vaughan’s reworked dance version of the Peggy Lee classic, “Fever”.

They say tomorrow never comes…but now it has…and we have eight more songs to talk about before we can finish our multigenerational “Summer Music Appreciation Playlist”.

Today we’ll incorporate jazz and dance, the invention of modern musical recording, arguably the greatest saxophone player ever, and a shout out to “our man in Paris”.

If all that wasn’t enough, we also discover what happens when you graft a certain Pepper onto Jamaica’s musical tree.

You don’t want to stop now, so jump on board and let’s get this train rollin’.

Pony Party Marley



Rasta Pony

It take a joyful sound

To make a world go ’round

Come with your heart and soul

Come ‘a come and rock your boat

Cause it’s a punky reggae party

And it’s tonight

it’s a punky reggae party



Punky Reggae Pony Party

And dem shout out: “Barack..Obama……..”

Cocoa Tea and me, we say, “One love, y’all.”
