Hi,

thanks for the info...I would just have two more questions about books:
- I am currently re-reading "Reggae Bloodlines - In search of the music and culture of the jamaica" from steven davis (+photos by peter simon)and I really appreciate it. Do you know it? What do you think about it? any comments appreciate...
- Some friends again mentionned the "Bass Culture" book...is it hard to find? Does anyone know where can I get it in London? It's certainly a stupid question but it will help me not to order in a *** library and wait for weeks before delivery!

many thanks

Bass Culture is a great book, but very intense, Depending on your grasp. I am about to read it for the second time, as i think it will make much more sense this time.

Now i lick one Chalice

king g, bass culture would make more sense, and make for better reading if you could edit out all or most of the political content....
