A song to kick us off
I've spent the past week or so since I made the website live doing some minor house-keeping; moving domain registrars, reconfiguring my custom email domain/address and adjusting some of the HTML/CSS to fix a nasty visual defect that appeared when a couple of the webpages were rendered in the Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. As anyone who works in technology knows, there is a real natural high from overcoming technical problems, especially ones that have been extra difficult to work out. I don't do so much Java coding these days, but I would get the same punch-the-air sense of satisfaction when I finally got a piece of code I wrote to output what I expected it to.
So, I guess as a celebration of working out these issues and finally overcoming my procrastination in building and publishing this website, I wanted to share the first song of many. This one has, in the last few years since I first heard it, become one of my all-time favorites. It never fails to lift my spirits. Here's "African Lady" - this song deserves a speaker with good bass!

Ken Boothe - African Lady
Ken Boothe is really one of my favourite performers. He does such great reggae covers of various pop songs. A raw, powerful voice. African Lady has all of the components of a great reggae hit!
