  p.s. The absolute worst part of the night was finding out that <a href="http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/html/20040505T140000-0500_59435_OBS__SIR_COXSONE__DODD_IS_DEAD.asp">Sir Coxsone Dodd has passed on May 4th</a>. A huge loss for anyone who considers themselves of Jamaican music, even dancehall fans who wouldn&#8217;t consider listening to anything on <a href="http://www.trojan-records.com/">Trojan Records</a>. Half of the dancehall songs I&#8217;ve ever heard were based on classic Studio One hits from the 60&#8217;s, even if he never received credit for those contributions. Oh yeah, he also gave Prince Buster, Bob Marley and Lee Perry the starts to their careers. Not too shabby. Here are some links that I really hope you consider visiting:
