Trying out #guitars at #mudpiemusic in #Brighton - a great selection but this lovely USA-built #G&L #ASAT in an alluring shade of green caught my eye and felt great to play.
When I got home, I had to give my butterscotch 1999 ASAT some attention so it doesn't get jealous 🤣
♪♫ R.I.P. Harry Belafonte
(March 1, 1927 – April 25, 2023)
was an American #singer, activist, and actor. As arguably the most successful Caribbean-American pop star of his time, he popularized #Jamaican mento folk songs which was marketed as Trinbagonian Calypso musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. His breakthrough album #Calypso (1956) was the first million-selling LP by a single artist. #music#jazz#musicians@jazz
#RIP#HarryBelafonte it’s really lovely reading all the tributes and memories from everyone here - a brilliant #Singer#Musician and lifelong #CivilRights activist, he meant so much to so many. I first heard the #BananaBoatSong at a NYE party as a 9y old - my first exhilerating music experience. Been thinking about it again recently researching #Plantations and #SupplyChains - all that hard labour every day, and the role of music in it. #Jamaica#RacialCapitalism
