Here's some old UB40 from 1983 that I really dig. I really liked their early 1980's LPs a lot but the later albums were not my cuppa tea. They kinda turned into a cover band at the end before they broke up in the 1990's. I dig this the flow of this cut though, it is the title cut from their 1981 album "Present Arms", and I hope you dig it too!
Present Arms - UB40 - Live in the UK
I had the the great pleasure to see one of my favorite bands, Midnite, in Denver, CO on Thursday night and then again in Boulder, CO on Friday night. These old knees are a little creaky from being out after 3 AM two nights in a row but I feel a really fine glow. Plus I love dancing in front of the stage with all the sweet Ladies at the shows. Being a fan of old school reggae I really appreciate Midnite's groove and spirit. I was fortunate enough to meet a few members of the band back in October, 2005 in Ft. Collins, CO and they were quite gracious, I ended seeing them three times during that tour. The singer's name is Vaughan Benjamin and his brother, Ron, who plays bass and keyboards and writes much of the music, I hope you enjoy the Irie sound of Midnite that I found on youtube. I got a few decent pictures from their recent Denver show too.

Come and take a walk with me
Tell me all the things you want to be
For while the journey may seem far
It's good to see you reach for the stars
Let's share all our hopes and dreams
As we bathe our Hearts in this kindly stream
Shedding all the things that hold us back
Sometimes it's a little confidence we lack
I'm here to tell you that it can be done
What you hope for can happen underneath this Sun
Don't give into the negativity and fear
Embrace the great goodness inside you, my Dear
Your courage and your spirit can win in the end
I hope you can feel all the good vibes to you I send
