Well, girl... I think you've made enough jokes already, right? Thanks...


Back to the point:

I played for a while with a Jamaican guitarist and singer which lives in Paris. He was really good at singing and playing Reggae. “Reggae”, he educated me, “is all about taste and feeling, not musicianship”. He would laugh at me every time I would start making kind of backward and forward movements in the rhythmic lines or would start improvising in his time, instate of staying in mine, complaining that this was not the spirit.

Reggae is very hard to play if you are looking for the authentic flavor it needs to have, at least for me it was quite difficult to grasp. I had to get into the mood, first of all, and then really feel I was part of a single unity or a single heart instate of the typical group of musicians playing each of them what they feel to play in this moment, like it happens in many other kind of music.

Reggae, musically, it is like a close community, it stands on feelings of union, it is a merging together in a whole, where there is much more emotional alliance than in the fields of Jazz, where there is much more egoism and ego-centric feelings of being the number one. In Reggae there is this family vibration which melts everything into a very relaxed friendship.

This Jamaican musician I’m talking about, from which unfortunately I don’t longer remember his name, was really first-class as were his songs. He lead me to concentrate in feeling the groove instate of playing different patterns trying to “better the thing” in artificial ways, which is something most jazz musicians fail to do when playing simple, but demanding music like Reggae.

Now, please Gary, show me your base… :)

Well, I checked the song title on youtube, and indeed foundZZ Top, where I was initially thinking on the Spencer Davis song from the sixties, which isn't reggea at all, so...

Nestor sorry but jokes are always welcome. Smiling is an excellent antidepressant, not to mention that it benefits the whole health of the spirit and the body. We are enough serious so we can be funny too. Humor is the most important product of the human mind. (my opinion)

Between the different "colors" of humor i prefer the black humor. Has anyone read the "anthology of black humor" by Andre Breton the surrealist poet? I'm a great fan of Andre Breton.


Good info about reggae style.

Do you know guys in the past humor was mostly forbidden. It was always a characteristic of the rich and the educated.
Humor is still in scarcity in "developing" countries. So treat it with care. Humor is the sharp mirror one points to the others and to himself. Insults are always stupid. Thats a reason to laugh on its own. :D By the way hybrid i didn't know netherlands are a "developing" country. Times are changing.

A man who seeks for seriousness is like a dead horse. Only funny people can get really serious.

Yes, Holland isn't 'ready' yet :D
But my name is Hubird, which is just a screw up from Hubert, my real name.

anabella reminds me of the feedback guy who always took over threads

lots of contradictions on there own topics of what they have written before


having a laugh is good keeps ones mind sane when loads of madness is going on

it also makes you warm and fuzzy inside and is proven to release chemicals that relax you

Don't take my comment too seriously, it is not... :wink:
I agree entirely with you about the philosophy of humor for a better living, but with a little elucidation: humor is one of the best things in life as long as it does not become bothersome. If you refer to a physical characteristic of someone as a joke, that’s fine, but for a little while only... after this while it becomes annoying I think, that's all.
