Hi all,
I’m brand new to the forum & very excited to be a part of this community!
I’m from Guyana and grew up in the early 70’s listening to early Jimmy Cliff, Toots, Ethiopians, and others, as well as calypso & soca, rock, soul, r&b, early country. First reggae album I heard was Legalize It, and I wasn’t yet a teenager.So a fairly sizable amount of reggae has poured into my ears over the decades. Since moving to US, I “discovered” blues & jazz. I’m also a fairly recent fan of musica de Brasil, as well as salsa, son, etc. Many more genres of interest. Baden Powell! Django Reinhardt! Hugh Masekela!
This year I decided to try to generate some sound of my own, SO it was great to find this site exists, and run by a member of illustrious Berklee College of Music, no less, as well as other top notch pros! YOW!
So I’m very excited indeed and can’t wait to nail my reggae CHOP! (and chops) and take it from there! 2025 is turning into quite a year for me, musically!
Thanks Matt & rest of the team! I can’t wait to dig in and see what y’all have in store! ROCKERS!!!
Gear: acoustic, strat, 5w amp, no pedals (yet).
