Ites Selecta,
I went to the site but cannot see what it has to do with the Barret brothers. Can you help shed some light on this?

Hi Jah Chicken

Must admit it threw me initially. However, this should help - http://manikus.com/bobmarley/people/index.html

Yeah... on the description of Carly they write that he is the one who invented the ONE DROP drum beat... Its written the same about all foundation drummer....Dem all want to have created the One Drop... and Rockers also! and there is no truth about who is the first... But thanks to the one who did this for changing the reggae sound to the best!

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I assumed that if you were going to reference the root directory of a site, then it would have some more to do about the Barret brothers. However, a few sentences is better than nothing. Very cool graphic on the home page.

Respect,
