DUB DISCUSSION BOARD

I recently stumbled upon this interesting Sly Dunbar interview:

Radio DJ Robbo Ranx did this back in 2005. Being this the first time I hear an interview with Sly Dunbar I was very surprised about him appearing as such a warm and friendly person. Based on some of the Sly & Robbie album covers and their mostly deadpan faces during stage shows I expected him to be rather unapproachable. Thinking about it I realize that he could hardly have become such a successful producer without excellent social skills. So it's not such a big surprise that he sounds sympathetic. Anyway, big respect to the man!

bless up!
i met sly during my first trip to ja in 1998.
i walked into the mixing lab (without an appopintment) and told the reception man that i'd like to talk to sly.
he took me inside the studio where sly was having a session break with a few other brethrens.
we talked for a few minutes, he gave me some guidance to move around kingston and get links plus a few musical tips (i am a drummer myself).
sly, like most jamaican musicians, is a very down to heart and nice person.
if you manifest true respect for the music any jamaican musician will respect you and be nice to you.
one love!

ha, nice story.. something to tell your grandchildren about
