I Roy - Double Mix
Hi Kingstonians, here's a fine I Roy seventies compilation for you & yours to enjoy.
Lately I am less motivated than I used to be to maintain Kingston Roots blog, because what are the odds that a blog like this still exists next year? With the possible introduction of Digital ID later this year it would not even be accessible for a non-compliant citizen like me. Apart from the huge amount of (war) fear-mongering these days priority is to prepare for uncertain times of crisis (like being able to make a living as a musician).
In short collecting and sharing mp3 format rare reggae music makes less sense to me nowadays. Although I saw this coming fairly bright from afar, it's different when you're in the middle of it. Not saying that it is time to quit blogging by now and if so it would not be a big deal, but without a long-term perspective it makes me often think: "Why do I still do this?"
