Bob Marley – No Woman No Cry Video

Here’s a little Bob Marley to make your day better. I love this version of “No Woman No Cry.” It’s slowed down a bit, and it just has a groove that you can’t beat. Since they can’t use Bob Marley’s music in the movie No Woman No Cry about the book of the same title [...]

The Music of Darko Rundek for the Beach.

I write a lot about Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley, and a lot of you probably think thats all I listen to. However, that is only a small part of my music library. I listen to just about everything. One guy that I listen to that does remind me of lazy days by the beach [...]

Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldiers and the Banana Splits

OK, I can’t let this go. I seen it written about a few times now and now I watched it for myself. Although I’m scarred now from watching the “Banana Splits” for the first time since my childhood (not that I was old enough, but I remember reruns), it sure does make me wonder. The [...]
