**...wicked musician, now R.I.P. forIver in the Hall of Reggae Greats...**

I'll always remember the feelings your music gave me; the days when my world was different and everyday was a blurr, smoking the chalwa in the sunshine; Those days, that house, those people are gone; a memory.
But still vivid are the feelings of happyness and that is why your death saddens me, in some ways i always felt you'd enjoyed that happyness with me.

For now and forever, your music, your love, your word will shine on through me.

A SAD day...
i (obviously) took my user name from the man who got me into it all in the first place - out of respect for the talent, the vibes and the willingness to go out on a limb to make the masses smile...

in the words of the man...

"jacob and marcus and marley - they go down into black history..."

we can add mikey's name to that list...

We will miss Mikey.
He came to my country (Argentina) last year and recorded with a local band called RIDDIM his classic song "His Imperial Majesty".
You can hear it at http://www.riddim.com.ar or http://www.myspace.com/riddimreggae

Dread at the controls, well love you forever.

Many artists pun on a good show while on stage, but Mr. Campbell was the one person who obviously was having fun on stage. The memory will live forever.

From The Times newspaper today;
