Ok, I will admit I passed over listening to this song for a few days, because of the title. BUT PLEASE HEAR ME OUT...it's not the the title is bad. I actually think it's GREAT! All I can come up with was the two concepts seemed so far apart to me that my simple brain didn't want to "go there." I have no idea. I will tell you flat out I am stupid sometimes. That's as blunt as I can say that!
Now, what DID get me to eventually listen to it (just now) was seeing it was from YOU. I have always liked and respected you, so because of that, I gave it a listen. I AM SO GLAD I DID!
I REALLY liked this song. It's stuck in my head right now as I'm typing this. What a cool feel, and fun song. It really is different than what I expected, in EVERY right way!
Thanks for sharing this! VERY well done!
Now I am going to work on my open-minded-ness! Gotta keep that in check so I don't lose out on gems like this one!

Hey Bob
I like that. Didn't know what to expect. What a great choice of Reggae.
Your delivery is superb. Accent and all!
Dreadlocks all the way, and the sleigh-bells fading in the background - Nice
Great mix and great fun song
Hey Trev, Thanks for the listen and kind remarks. Regards, Bob

Bob, I have a soft spot in my heart for this type of music. I was lucky enough to have spent 6 months building a house in Negril in the early 70's. No resorts or much of anything except beach then . They had just gotten electricity the month before I got there. There was a local reggae band that let me sit in now and then. They were rhythm monsters! Nice little write and very well sung. Great job. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Tom Tom, You didn't happen to mee a guy named John White when you were there, did you? Negril has always been a little secret - and what a beach!  Thanks for the listen and comments. Regards, Bob

Most excellent all the way around. Not using the
typical Reggae drums gives it a very cool hybrid
feel.
And you DELIVERED the vocal!
Fun!

J&B J&B, Thanks for the listen. That actually has three separate drum tracks on it. There are two different Reggae loops behind the standard kit. Waiting for the next I75 collab.......... Merry Christmas! Regards, Bob

Fantastic! Songwriting doesn't get any better than this - creativity, the simplicity of an expert and a great deal of skill all combined. The arrangement and production are very inventive. I totally enjoyed the listen. I bet you and Penny sound excellent live!
All the best to you both,
Noel
