Optimism in music

[approxinfinity]

Listened to Jimmy Cliff Follow My Mind 3 times today, @rockchalkintexas-0 . I love the energy and optimism. I havent listened to much reggae this decade! But I have been feeling more optimistic about the future of this planet. I believe in the youth and where they can take us. There is lots of cause for optimism if we look a little further down the road. So this music hits me right at the right time.

Music is the thing that really gets me going. I love all kinds of music - ALL kinds. (Except rap. And no, i.am.not.racist.

I really like Bob Marley but don't listen to enough reggae by other artists. I will give Jimmy Cliff a try. On a related note, I have been enjoying the music of Paraguayan guitar and harp virtuoso Oscar Benito lately.

I can provide names of other Reggae artists that you might want to check out. So many of them have passed these last few years. Toots Hibbert of Toots and the Maytals, Uroy, The Upsetters, and so many more are the classics.

For anyone interested, here is the link to the show by Robert Nesta Marley at Hoch.

An artist in LA drew this charcoal portrait and sent it to me along with one of Ali and many others.
