Good info - like how you brought the two artistes together.
Good You Tube videos! Thanks for the info.
1love
Thanks Reggae Lady. It seems Bob Marley has been the inspiration for Stony Skunk.
And thanks too 1Love (I got the name!). There is a lot of Bob Marley and also Stony Skunk on YouTube.
I liked their mixture of reggae/hip hop. Pretty good actually.
It just so happens Chris Eddy111 - that two nights ago I went to YouTube and once again listened to both the Bob Marley version (of course) and the Korean version. There's only one Bob Marley - and I do appreciate the respect shown in the Korean version - very well done.
Thanks for listening and writing!
I didn't know that his birthday is a Jamaican holiday? I mean...he totally deserves it though!! Great hub!
Ah, I think we need more fun holidays theherbivorehippi - more reasons to party and celebrate. But, alas it has become all work and all play - and no money. Sigh!
Thanks for writing!
I like reggae music. I was introduced to reggae music when I was in Thailand. I've worked with an all-Thai band. They play a mixture of rock, Latin, and reggae nightly. Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Peter Tosh,UB40.. I missed those days. Nice hub.
Sounds wonderful Alta5656! I love all the musicians and I love Thailand. Hey, it's time to get back out there and have some fun! Thanks for commenting!
