About Me!

About Me...

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and I've been listening to the Maytals for several years. I'm a bit of a music historian and I'm especially interested in Jamaican music. My favorite group of all time is the Maytals. I put this site together to compile as much information on these great performers and their music as I could, and to share it with fans around the world. I love to hear from fans of the site, or just fans of the band, so please feel free to sign the guestbook or send me an e-mail.

My other favorite Jamaican performers include Laurel Aitken, Derrick Morgan, the Wailers, the Ethiopians, Johnny Clarke, The Wailing Souls, Beres Hammond, and Buju Banton.

I would like to thank the following for their contributions to this site: My dad for playing his Funky Kingston LP, my mom for playing her Harder They Come LP, radclastic for taking me to record stores, Rasputin Records in Berkeley, Amoeba Music in SF, Amoeba in Berkeley too, Crazy Baldhead and Crazy Ollie for the idea, GraciaMBJ for smiling all the time, DopeAzzIrishGuy for playing devil's advocate, GreaterThanHuman for the RPR, Olivier.Albot for the amazing discographies, Mike Riley for the lyrics, of course Toots, Jerry, and Raleigh (RIP), and very special thanks to DukeRaoul118@Napster for showing me what else is out there.

My infinite love and thanks to SheKicksA for continual inspiration and kindness.

I would like to get everything right on this page so if you see anything that doesn't look right or if there's a typo or something, please let me know by email. Also, if there are any questions you have, I would be happy to try and answer them.
