Natty Wailer?

[mahoop]

Well he is playing in Dun Laoghire on Saturday night so the easiest thing is to go and see him and make your own minds up. That is what I intend to do.

He then rehearsed, recorded and toured with them as a keyboard player. Natty Wailer recorded numerous albums and compilations wit Bob such as Songs of freedom. During the same period, Natty was also playing and recording with Familyman.

Apart the fact that I've never seen his name in the band touring with Bob between 74 and 80 (there were famous keyboardists such as Wya and Tyrone, or even Touter in studio), how can you say he recorded albums/comps like "Songs Of Freedom" ? SOF is a bad example : this is a compilation which draws back from 62 to 80, there were no sessions for it. One can't claim "I played on SOF". You can play on songs which have been, many years later, included on it but that's quite different, to me.

A different things is that he mey have played with Fams during his solo sessions.

Ian Wynter/Winter sometimes played/recorded with Fams and The Wailers.

This Natty Wailer did not.

This Natty Wailer is NOT Ian Wynter/Winter.

This Natty Wailer even thought Bunny Wailer was originally in the Wailing Souls!

This Natty Wailer a Harbour Shark!
