Roots Archives Forum

When I have the chance to go to a roots dance (which unfortunately is much too rare) I want to enter into some deeper Iditation through the music, the lyrics and the MC chatting. This makes me quite unsociable as I can't do this when I have to concentrate on other people by talking (or listening) to them. I am aware though that most people probably want to socialise if they go out. I do not have a problem with it per se because one of the things I always liked about roots dances is that you can be free and can do your own thing. People who go there to get spiritual strength and praise the Almighty can do so and people who only go for general enjoyment can do so, too. Why not? Something positive might enter into them still. Normally the sound volume at a good dance should take care of any annoying distractions. How I remember U.K. dances you could only talk to someone by shouting in his ear. What is this what I read about db limits? Since when is that?

Its the same with the radio execpt they do all the talking in betwwen the records, so they only play 6 records in an hour and they call it a music station.
Less talk more music what you getting paid for the adverts.rhetorical question.

i dont lie its all about the vibes, have seen dance where needle touch slipmats like 5 times an hour but vibe was tuff still cause you can use such situation to say something people will like, if the mc is good he wont step over the border when it start turn anoying, there are nuff mc need practice on cassette first before dey go public, it all about the karma or like powers you spreading to the people ninjaman a badman and rae but he always give good vibe to the massive. ballance

Sometimes its like that in life as well as at dances.
