Old School Friday- I know all the words to this song, but I hate it

Time again for Old School Friday. I missed the last two weeks, (physical theraphy, school, life, ect..). but iriegal is back on track mon. There are some songs out there that really should NOT have been created, then the radio stations make sure we NEVER forget. They will play this song to death.

I absolutely hated this song, but I ended up singing it ...wth? ha ha.



and of course this one is so classic. This chauvanistic song just really has you getting down when you don't want to. I use to hate this song but but found myself singing it. then they did and OVERKILL on the radio and I really hated it.

Old School Friday- Sophomore Year

Well it is that magical time again. Wow, where does the week go? I had this crazy exam yesterday, so really ready to unwind. Ms Grapevine and MarvalusOne have teamed up to create a meme titled Old School Friday. To join in the Old School Friday Fun go Here for guidelines.

I didn't go to High School in this country so the closest I can get to Sophomore year in this country is what we call 4th Form (Jamaica follows the English tradition).This is interesting because in Jamaica most of the students graduate when they are 13- 14 years old. So many of my classmates were about that age. I wasn't, I was older because originally I transplanted from New York, back to Jamaica. Long story for one o those other days.

Anyhow,this was around 1976, now in Jamaica Reggae was just getting into full swing, but so was rap music. For some reason Jamaicans loved rap music. I think it reminded them of the music we called, "ROCKERS."

Speaking of ROCKERS one of the hottest artist out Jamaica then was "KILLER MILLER." The one and only JACOB MILLER. Take a listen mon.



One song though that sure nuff got you grooving was "CAR WASH" by ROSE ROYCE...It didn't matter how tired I was when that song came on I was bumping and jumping.



and last but not least the "BOOGIE FEVER" was coming of age..DISCO was on! You had to put on your bell foot pants and your platforms and get on that dance floor.

This is a song I remember getting down to

Old School Friday

Hey, welcome back to Old School Friday. You know the blues are alright...So do all the old school
friday participants.




Ms Grapevine and MarvalusOne have teamed up to create a meme titled Old School Friday and since I love my music I had to sign up to join! To join in the Old School Friday Fun go Here for guidelines. Sometimes I feel like I have been singing the blues all my life. Always that guidance from above the keeps me above the water. I think many people can relate to this weeks theme. Even the though the blues might put you in a melancholy mood, it also makes you remember the good things in life.

My first choice is Albert Collins. He had this unique sound that many musicians have emulated over the years. He was nicknamed, "the iceman" by people in the industry. Check out the way he handles those strings.




Here is where Reggae meets blues (you know I have to throw my reggae in there). Roykey Creo Demonstrates Reggae Ska Samba Blues scales and licks down and up strokes skanking two and four for acoustic and electric guitars
