Byron Lee

Byron Lee died earlier this month

I do not think I have heard any of his music for over 20 years now

I have 2 of his LPs from the 1960s, but nothing to play them on. I was astonished to see, when I went to look for them last night, that one is actually called Reggay (sic) Blast Off


It has two tracks in particular which I would happily sit down to listen to: (Hugging up a big) Monkey Man & Elizabethan Reggay. This last one is actually a reggae version of Ronald Binge’s Elizabethan Serenade!
