Backed by The Aggrovators and arranged by Mighty Fatman

Ites Kingstonians it is me Kingston Roots (see avatar above on the right side) and these are me Rasta brethren Smiley Roots and Drummie Roots:


Together we listen to a lot of Jah reggae music, like for instance to this irie album here "Natty Dread On The North Coast" by toaster Little Dread AKA Jah Berry from the Negril area, way up north. And we smoke some ganja, play some djembe and brother Smiley sometimes makes a funny joke, like that we were probably born in a weed field or that one day we would run out of the ganja supply. Of course that's not going to happen so smokey greetings also on behalf of Smiley and Drummie from Kingston Jamaica and enjoy the musical vibes, stay high, bye bye..
