You can chopper in from Norman Manley.....quite a quick relief from Kingston and port royal up to Newcastle....where at times you can watch JDF in dress uniform do parade on the grounds of old Butchers Apron military installation
You drive right thru the old stone fort....in cool misty climate at 3500 foot
On a clear day the view is spectacular ....you could almost see Sierra Nevada above Santa Marta
They do say on a clear day you can see the Sierra Maestra north d

Perhaps his most immortal groove, and he created many of those, powers 1966 Pickett smash “Land of 1000 Dances.” Particularly the infectious breakdown pattern, played on Hawkins’ gold-sparkle Ludwig kit and Speed King kickdrum pedal.

Every once in a while I’ll Bluetooth a song to the soundbar and say to my 10 yr old “Hey, son, wanna hear the greatest song ever written”? One day it was a live version of Land of a Thousand Dances.He started dancing and bopping around. I thought it was sarcasam except that he kept it up for the entire extend live version...

GOP lawmakers enraged as Biden secretly buses, flies migrants into Tennessee in ‘the dead of night’

Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are demanding answers in response to shocking news that the Biden administration is secretly busing and flying scores of illegal immigrants into the state.
Reports that the Biden administration has been moving thousands of unaccompanied minors and tens of thousands of migrant adults — presumably without court dates — into the country amid the ongoing border crisis have circulated since February. But this week the news hit home for Tennessee lawmakers who, alarmed that the administration is seemingly doing so “under the cover of darkness,” have opted to speak out about the matter.
After WRCB-TV broke the story on Wednesday night that “Chattanooga’s Wilson Air Center is receiving planes carrying migrant children who are being bused to multiple southeastern cities during overnight hours,” the state’s two Republican senators lashed out at the administration.
“It is absolutely unacceptable if the Biden Administration is facilitating a mass migration under cover of darkness without any input or oversight from Tennesseans and the affected communities,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn wrote in a social media post Wednesday night.
In a statement to Fox News, Sen. Bill Hagerty said, “I have warned for months that President Biden’s failure at the border would result in a systematic resettling of migrants in our communities, burdening our schools, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies, and bringing an increase in drug trafficking and human smuggling.”
Hard to imagine, but nobody knew what to do with Etta James until she recorded there. Aretha Franklin was foundering as as well until they found her sound.
RIP.
Thanks for posting this. It has become a joyous rabbit hole all day today going back through all the Swampers’ amazing careers.
I could see that happening
