Welcome
Welcome to Lion Heart Traders.
In the year 2004, when I man thought seriously of putting my voice on tape for real, I man checked I brethren Keith Logan AKA Lizard, who was a bass player (who has since passed away). He checked his brethren Charley Fox, a drummer, and had checked a keyboard player too, but he never turned up when the date and time came. Anyway, with Charley Fox as the experienced drummer, Eddie man (who owns the East Street Studious), an experienced engineer, I man just said to them: “Come we go”, without piano, organ or guitar (instruments with sounds that are crucial in any form of music; more so in Reggae sounds when starting from the Roots, Roots Rock Reggae) as they would say.
All this time I man never knew any something about musical timing. What I man knew were the words of the songs that I man would be singing because it is I who wrote them. When Foxy rolls off on his drums and the late Lizard comes in on the bass, Rhydim gone! When I man comes in on backing vocal and singing along, I man timing after a while got so out of time that Drums have to stop playing to tell I that I man is out of time, and that out of timing had been going on for a while. The late Lizard had to butt in and say: “Don’t worry about Lion (as they call I man), Lion will get his timing right because he’s also helping to put the Rhydim tracks together.” [Read More...]
