Jamaican proverbs nice
well pree – well like !
Jamaica is widely acknowledged as the birthplace of reggae music.
Reggae music is relatively young in the scope of world music having started in the 1950s. It grew out of political and social upheavals of the Caribbean in the 1950s, and became the “sound” of Jamaica by the 1970s. Some reggae stars, notably Bob Marley, became crossover standouts who influenced musicians of many other genres.
Reggae Roots
According to Reggae.com, reggae derived from Jamaican musicans who mixed the calypso, rhythm and blues and ska they heard on American and Caribbean records and radio. The basic core of reggae is the tightly-synchronized bass and drum rhythms with staccato guitar strums with a “one drop” feel. The musicians avoid playing on beat one and instead emphasize beat three in a normal bar of 4/4 timing. A typical reggae song has a slow to medium tempo. Even dance songs tend to be driven by repetition of rhythms and thick bass lines instead of a fast drum beat like most rock and pop music.
There are sparks coming from my fingers i’m typing so fast…The Planning of the show has gone through a small catastrophe of disasters tonight, but im sure im a better person because of it. Technology is too technical. Im no walking oxford computer dictionary, i can tell you! That’s why i’m up so late…
Anyway join me today from 12pm until 3pm for all the usual ‘organised broadcastables’.
Of course there will be the ‘oot the windae weather’ as well as the traffic and travel updates. Reese Faulds will keep you posted on ‘The Coming To Cowal’ and ‘The Across The Clyde Guides’.
Tune in for a bleather, some good music including my ‘Vintage Slot’. Some songs have been made to play forever…they can evoke memories and make us dance silly!!!!
Take care till later……

sarah
Thank Thirsty its Thursday… Been a loooong time coming and I’m still no way near organised…a destination I may never reach…. i fit in well with chaos, jumping around in my catalog of catastrophes…
Well Its Time to play Darrell Muldoon (music) and his ‘wee daft smile’. Cant get enough of it..A very talented, Scottish, unsigned young man. He leaves me in awe and I’m hoping he’ll be back with more tunes!
We are still working the Dean Owens discs hard… What will I play…. We shall see, wont we?! Could play Russian roulette with the cd skip button, whatever track it lands on will be fantastic….
Also, we can have a bleather about the ‘oot the windae weather,’ traffic and travel updates. Reese Faulds will be in to keep you up to date on whats happening in Cowal and Across the Clyde. Plusssss I’ve been reading in the newspaper again… I can not explain what the ftse100. I turn to the interesting and humerous pages …

I cant get enough of this tune ‘wee daft smile’ by scottish musician, Darrell Muldoon (music). So I just have to share it with you asap. It’ll leave you with the same wee daft smile I get when I hear it. So that’s one thing i have made a decision about… The rest i’m faffing and pondering over…

Well here I am typing away ( i say typing, but its more the one fingered press..tounge sticking out for concentration).
I have lots to tell you about tommorow, as well as the usual traffic and travel updates, events guides and my ‘oot the windae’ weather’.
Oh and Ladies, let me tell you about the new fad of making your shoes look designer.
I also saw an unbelievable gadget being advertised.. James Bond Style!!!

Oh and we’ll be hearing more from Dean Owens, as we make our way through his beautiful songs from his albums ‘Whiskey Hearts’ and ‘New York Hummingbird’.
Cheerie x
Tomorrow may be upon us, but I’m not ready for it yet. Too much to do, so now I have my radio head on…
Join me with guest presenter Reese, from 12pm – 3pm tomorrow for a bleather, music and useful things such as the ‘coming to cowal’ and ‘across the clyde guide’. oh and the the ‘oot the windae weather’ and travel guides…you can admit you’d be lost without me to some degree…even if its just a teensy weensy, wee bit.
I’m also being forced by powers that be to give away a SIGNED copy of Elliot Schneider’s album ‘If looks could kill, i’d wear mirror sunglasses’. So you better text me tomorrow at the studio before 2:40pm..Before i ‘lose’ it the cd due to human error, for my own selfish gain… all I need to do is think of a question for tomorrow. It’ll have to be fairly easy so I remember the answer.
Text the studio on 07751236995
Catch you tom x
Join me after 12pm and suffer me until 3pm!
All the usual sensible things, such as ‘oot the windae weather’ travel and coming to cowal and across the clyde guides.
The man of the moment today is Dean Owens and 3 tracks of his will be played. Wonderful artist who is very talented!
I will also be playing a couple of tracks from Elliot Schneider as well as a couple of ‘exclusives’ from other artists.
However, dont worry, the show hasn’t gone all new and shiney, there will be plenty of my usual classics, to keep us all happy
See you soon
Thanks Dave. Willie was so fantastic to interview and I enjoyed every minute of it. Willie is so passionate about Laurel and Hardy, it would be hard not to feel the enthusiasm. His book gave me all the knowledge to ask questions and discuss. That shows what a good writer he is, as his book grabbed my attention from the first page.
Can I congratulate you on a very good interview with Willie MacIntyre Sarah. Your enthusiasm as a comparitive new viewer, together with the obvious knowledge and a total devotee, made for a very good listen.
Well done 1

ps I’m also going to play a beautiful track by artist Dean Owen called ‘Raining in Glasgow’. This is from the album ‘Whiskey Hearts”. Have a wee listen, you’ll love it
Not much good at talking about me so here’s my biog written by someone else – Edinburgh based Dean Owens is one of Scotland’s most acclaimed and established singer / songwriters.
Previously the front-man of the much loved and lauded Americana act ‘The Felsons’, Dean has subsequently been recording and touring as a successful solo artist.
His first two solo albums ‘The Droma Tapes’ and ‘My Town’ were both very successful and attracted significant critical acclaim on release, while his new album ‘Whisky Hearts’, generally agreed to be his finest work to date, gained its full commercial release on Navigator Records in September 2008.
The album was the subject of a major national advertising campaign by A track from ‘Whisky Hearts’ also recently appeared on a ‘Rock n’ Reel’ cover CD, exclusively featuring Navigator Records artists, in the August, 2008 edition of the magazine.
wooooo hoooo Elliot Schneiders ‘If Looks could kill, I’d wear mirror sunglasses’ re- entering at no 2!!!…. Out in the streets no.1 in Amazon’s Album mp3 Best Sellers Rock/Oldies & Retro Chart!s!!! So thrilled for you and your guys The Big Bang and the lovely Carmen Castro.
You can go to our web page http://www.dunooncommunityradio.org and get a link through to Amazon to download Elliot Schneider and The Big Bangs music.
My sweet tooth took me a wander into Crazy Cakes at 5 Hillfoot Street, Dunoon today. I met cake designer and owner, Graham Wallace. He makes cakes in there for all occasions. I had a giggle to myself at the the ‘Divorce Cake’ he can make.
The lay out of the shop is fresh and modern but most important, the cakes are super fabby. The decorated cakes on display are very intricately designed, with a lot of care and attention to detail taken to create such masterpieces .
As the cakes made to order as you wish, you can be safe in the knowledge that its freshly baked. I looked at many pictures of the cakes Graham had made for many customers. I was in awe of the amount of different designs. Be assured though, there are some pretty humerous designs also. He caters to all tastes.
As well as top quality baking, the taste of the cakes are gorgeous.
Amy got to sample one of the beautiful cupcakes and thoroughly enjoyed it – wee witch wouldn’t save me a bit. It came in a lovely dainty wee box. So cute, lovely wee treat for someone special or even just yourself.
The shop will be closed for two weeks shortly but be assured Graham will be back to make us all fat with his cakes…..as well as making cakes for special occasions and special people.
Graham will be popping into the DCR studio in a couple of weeks for a bleather about his new buisness and the effort that goes into making his extra special cakes.

Two different releases by me are in the Top Three; “If Looks Could Kill, I’d Wear Mirror Sunglasses” just jumped back in the Amazon Charts. The fabulous D.J.Sarah Torbet of DCR 97.4 FM in Dunoon, Scotland has been playing this song and now it’s rebounded! RockTrish (Patricia Hodgins) of DCR is the wondrous D.J. who broke “Out In The Streets.” That tune is Number Two and “Mirror” was Number Three at noon today when I peeked/peaked.
