Many thanks to Christchurch City Libraries for choosing my photo of Horizin as the winner of the People section in their annual Photo Hunt competition. The image has always been a favourite of mine, particularly as a reminder of working for the Arts Employment Scheme in Christchurch in the 1980s
Spur of the moment decision to attend ACL 2021. Skip Marley did not disappoint. Also enjoyed Machine Gun Kelly, Erykah Badu, Megan Thee Stallion, Finius, and Miley Cyrus closed out the night.
This reggae band is the newest edition to the Doo Dah family. With the passing of Snotty Scottie, the Hankies have split up and will reunite with other musicians later on. In the mean time, to take the pressure off of New Horses on Astroturf, Carl Banks and the Tellers will be the second band to perform at both the Doo Dah Queen Tryouts and the Doo Dah Parade After Party.
They only performed at the beginning, just before the festivities began. They didn't stick around for anything else. But they did bring their own lighting with them, which made the stage look more interesting than it has in years, even though the light levels were pretty low, even for ISO 1600.

I met Reaiah at at the Harris Building during ArtPrize in Grand Rapids. Talking with her I found out she had a reggae band (Mystic Dub) and often plays locally at Tip Top Bar. I hope to catch one of her performances sometime. She was carrying an adorable baby rabbit orphan, inside the hood her coat.
Thanks for comments and favs :)

Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician best known for his Reggae records. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1963-1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and the best-selling performer of reggae music, having sold more than 75 million albums worldwide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley
I think he was one of my favourites in the Madame Tussaud collection due to his emotional pose. See the before image in the comment thread.
Jamaican Canadian reggae singer Jay Douglas has been performing in Toronto for over 40-years. Mr. Professional but on Thursday he almost lost it remembering Bob Marley as he sang No Woman No Cry at the Bob Marley Awards ceremony.
Teddie Dane, singer and artist, of faith Rasta, resides in between Ethiopia and Uk. He is considered an emergent figure of the jamaican community in
Shashemene, the village about 300 km from Addis Ababa, which houses 300 families come from Jamaica, around the '70s. Shashemene, south Ethiopia, on saturday, March 22 2008...
"Shashamene or Shashemene (ethiopian name), located in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia, is "the place", the ancestral homeland. For the whole Rastafarians repatriation to Africa or to Zion or to the Promise Land is the first goal. Rastas assert that "Mount Zion" is a place promised by Jah and they claim themselves to represent the real Children of Israel in modern times. During the last years of the 40's, Emperor Haile Selassie I, considerated from that movement incarnation of God, donated 500 acres of his private land to members and other settlers from Jamaica including other parts of the Caribbean.
The Rastafarian settlement in Shashamane was recently reported to exceed two hundred families. In January 2007 it organized an exhibition and a bazaar in the city. It was also reported recently prior to the Ethiopian Millennium that various pro-Ethiopian World Federation groups, consisting of indigenious Ethiopians and Rastafarians, have given support to one of many five year plans proposed for sustainable development of Shashamene, Ethiopia."
With the untimely passing of Snotty Scotty, the Hankies were no longer a band. That left New Horses on Astroturf doing full musical duties for two of the Doo Dah Queen Tryouts and the parade's after-party.
Now a new band has come in to fill that void. They are a reggae-jazz band named Calvin Banks and the Tellers. They not only performed some good music, they brought along their own lighting, which gave everything a different, if not trippy, look. They are showcased in Part One of the 2018 Doo Dah Queen Tryouts video. However, that's the only part they are seen.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera, with the Canon 18-55mm zoom lens. You can see the video with the band performing different songs (the first 33 seconds of the video was done on my old Motorola E4 phone) by clicking on the link below:
Old Town Nicosia, Cyprus (April, 2025)
Dev & Scanned by @comethroughlab
Hey, psssssssssst! I’m still here. I never left.
I’ve just been buried beneath tasks (not exactly proud of that).
Nothing has changed. I’m still the same kid, still as curious, still as looney.
I’m maybe not as present as I’d like to be, but I’m working on it every day. It’s hard when your brain is constantly begging for more stimulation, trying to regulate an improperly wired dopamine system.
Anyway self, do you hear me? It’s just me and you. I’m only saying this: everything is going to be okay. One step at a time. The only moment that truly exists is now, today, from sun-up to sun-down. That’s your chance. I should write to you like this more often, self.
These photos were made during my Easter break back home in Cyprus.
I hope something in them resonates with you. I hope they take you somewhere. More to follow.
@rootscrewsound 2025 spring session at @haratsi17 by the green line. Blissful day with wullepa beautiful souls inna di yard!
Love, always.
