Dancing is great for the body and music merges the right and left hemisphere making speaking easier to retrieve for those who suffered a stroke. Well I haven´t as far as I know had a stroke but I have been burned out and forgot just about everyhing from time to time so now I have a good reason for listening to music right. My kids don´t always agree with my choice of music and right now I am back in the Reggae mode. I used to hang out here before.
As a kid my best friends dad used to sit in his home office shuffling papers back and forth playing Bob Marley LPs really loud. It was like the SUN came shining upon my sweet adorable 7 yr old face. But it wasn´t until I got in my 20s, right after my punk, grunge, metal era that a brand new friend intruduced me to I JAH MAN. Oh man!! A four track record on reapeat must have driven my neighbours nuts! But the summer was ON and I was YOUNG and pretty (in my imagination at least) and the incense was smelling of patchouli and nag champa. And I jah man was taking it away on my cd-player in the kitchen and the veggie sponge cake was cooking in the oven for our party.

Rastafari is a religion that I am not really that familiar with and I think I like to stay that way. I read some really weird s… about it so I just enjoy the music and sing along.
I jah man was also the music me and my husband played at our wedding. Yeah.
Married in the religion of his choice at that time, Bahai, to the soundtrack of I jah man. My 70 yr old grandma must have been teary eyed by pure confusion.

Well here are some of my favourite Reggae Albums so far. If you have anything to add that is just DA BEST in your pov please be sure to fill in the contact form on that other page somewhere around here and let me know. Please. My kids are hiding my phone away as I am playing the same song over and over and over. Haha. Right now it´s “Sin City” with the fab (and omg gorgeous!!) dude Gentleman. If only I wasn´t married, and he wasn´t married and I´d be his type and he hadn´t had kids and I hadn´t had kids and I spoke German and.. naw. I´m good thanks for asking.

1. Gentleman – MTV Unplugged DeLuxe edition. GIVE ME A BREAK AND GO SEEE THE YOUTUBE ASAP! This is HEAVEN!
2. Gentleman- Diversity.
3. Gentleman  – Confidence. Including the HIT SONG Superior. If I ge to listen to only one song my entire life this would be it.
4. Gentleman – Another intensity. At one time I spent two full hours with “Serenity” on repeat. Luckily with headphones. I was not in a good place but what better to mend a broken heart than some music huh.
5. ANY OTHER Gentleman Album. So there.
6. Bob Marley….
