On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

My friend Jonder said it best:

"It was nice of Bernie Sanders to fill in as a guest blogger while Farmer Nathan was busy toiling in the fields."

I am deeply indebted to Senator Sanders, but he doesn't post enough musick. Let's start to fix that right now.

Tenor Saw (Clive Bright) was a Prince of Jamaican Dancehall. He is hailed as one of the most influential singers of the Jamaican digital era of the mid 80s.

In August 1988 he was killed by a motor vehicle in Houston, Texas. The official cause of death was listed as a hit & run accident. Many of those who knew him insisted that he was murdered. He was only 21 years old.

I like dancehall style well enough, but around here we favor Dub. Here's a compilation of Tenor Saw Dubwise.

Tenor Saw - In Dub, various sources, 1985.

    1. Thanks for the too kind words. Evo o Dub is a tremendous source of great Dub, indeed. Also, if there are any particular SSGs releases you are still searching for, I have over 40 releases (also some Sir Richard Bishop & w/J. Spaceman or Moe Tucker).

    1. Great choices here. Hope the ones I’m providing are okay.

      The Invisible Hands are super. Their self-titled debut blew me away (“Black Blood” still sends shivers up my spine) & then Teslam (with the additional vocals - Aya Mahmoud Hemeida is fantastic – I can always listen to “Over Easy”). Baroque Primitiva is an absolute classic. Enjoy all.

      I have The Vim & Vigour of Alvarius B. & Cerberus Shoal if you’re interested.

      Here's a good stories: Sir Richard Bishop stumbles across an acoustic guitar in a small shop in Geneva last year. No one seemed to know anything about the guitar (circa 1850, it had no markings other than some writing in an unknown language inside) but it entranced Richard. He left without it because of its price, but was haunted by it for weeks, even in his dreams. He would go back to the shop & play the guitar. His enthrallment only deepened. He finally broke down & bought the guitar. But then he was having second thoughts. The guitar did not sound as good as he dreamt (the higher notes that Richard played up on the neck were out of tune). Perhaps he had made a mistake. This year he traveled to Morocco for some shows & as a last minute idea, brought the new old guitar along. Perhaps another bad idea. He tried playing his old songs on it but they simply did not work. But the magical guitar taught him a new way of playing & while in an abode overlooking Tangier, in the course of 10 days, he recorded Tangier Sessions. If you’re interested in hearing the results, let me know. You seemed more interested in Alan than his brother, so I’m not sure.
