I accidently squashed more than one tomato in the produce aisle... gasped when I caught myself humming it once. Anyway, the closest thing to it here, I think, is Reggae Lounge, though I thought it might never get started ;-)<br />A vote for Reggae, please.<br />diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-62397538449520861272021-03-03T16:32:25.001-08:002021-03-03T16:32:25.001-08:00Loni, I don't know if my phone is smart enough...Loni, I don't know if my phone is smart enough to hold books.

And as I've said before, it was exactly THIS kind of "modern" Pop/Rock that drove me away from contemporary Top 40 music and drove me to find something much, much better (Blues and Jazz).<br /><br />So, in a way, I should thank groups like Culture Club and Duran Duran and Flock Seagull's Poop for inspiring me to look elsewhere for my musical entertainment.<br /><br />In this case, please add *TWO VOTES* (mine and my brother's) for *REGGAE LOUNGE*. I preferred it to its competitor in this Battle, and also prefer it to the original version, also.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.
