You can't know how good the vibe is unless you hear it. Im all about the music. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Im always down for making the sound better.
Started out playing rhythm guitar in New York for the reggae group Lion Force in the early 80s. Toured the US extensively for 7 years doing gigs in various cities and colleges.The band lasted until the beginning of the 90s. After the break up I turned to production which I continue to do now on a daily basis.

Story behind the song
A song addressing the nursery rhymes we were thought growing up
Lyrics
No more brain wash, no more anancy stories, no more mental slavery no, no, no Christopher Columbus never discovered nowhere, how could he when people lived there. General Costa was a evil man. He killed the blacks and the Indians. Hit the road with that and don't you come back no more, no more no more, no more, hit the road with that and don't you come back no more. Hey diddle diddle cat and fiddle, the cow never jump no moon, the little dog barked he never laughed, the dish never run with no spoon Hit the road with that and don't you come back no more no more no more no more, hit the road with that and don't you come back no more. Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, he was pushed he never fall. All the kings horses and all the kings men never had to put him together again. so Hit the road with that and don't you come back no more no more no more no more, hit the road with that and don't you come back no more. Jack and Jill went up the hill to seek a son or a daughter. Jack fell down on top of Jill it was twins nine months later Hit the road with that and don't you come back no more no more no more no more, hit the road with that and don't you come back no more So the story has been told they try to keep us under control Babylon you sly old fox we lock in a box and throw away the key No more brain wash, no more mental slavery no, no, no
