as many know,
Jamaica has a ''sound track''
constantly playing/rolling :::: music EVERY-where ... all the time

me was walking 'round Lucea-town today
..shopping, watching, chillin''
and I heard a song playing
from the big big speaker
on one of the mall second-level

i HAD TO find out who/what dat song was

went to the store/shop
...went inside, to check with the manager

entered store

'twas customer-less
except for
what *looked* like a 15-year old girl, and a 5 or 6 year old likkle girl were running the place

the bigger/older girl
was surfing FaceBook on her cell
...the next likkle pickney was attentively looking over her shoulder

off to the side,
was ANOTHER cell phone
that was blue-toothing the music to the hugh-speaker (outside)

i asked:::>> ''..who dat singing (sang) ''..John Doe..''..??''

big-girl, quickly checks the cell play list, 'bout to tell me the tune name & artist, as I started to write in my likkle trip-report note book

she-SAY:::>>> ""..GIVE me the book .... i'll write it down...''

she said it in such a way that it sounded like and ORDER ..... i complied

THEN,
i queried her 'bout the speaker:::>> ''''...WHERE in Lucea can i get that..??"

she paused...pondered
'''..Courts..... you know,,,??? ...... over/next to the JuicyBeef..... the appliance store..''

''..Yeah, i know..''

i leave.

make a bee-line to Courts and the appliance store..''

inside Rasta-manager tells me:::>> ''... $43,000..... you want me to get it for you NOW..??...''

''...no no ... i'm just *checking* ..''

* sigh *

I want ... must have one of those speakers

* sigh *

'cause it was JUST last night,
here in-country
while hangin' out with some of the guys,
sippin' on my cold-heniken, smoking my CravenA,
under a star-FULL sky,
with a nice-nice MotherNature air-conditioner type gentle breeze blown
that i chatted with the DJ-guy, who was playing the music
on some speakers JUST LIKE the other ones mentioned above

DJ-guy explain & instructed me on the speakers, and ALL it's many functions & features

i went crossed the road,
got one of my flash drives, with music,
and jacked it into the speaker :::::::::::::::::::::: my music AIN'T never sounded that good before...!!!

GOT TO get some of those speakers ... GOT too..

.
opps..!!..

sorry i rambled so

oh
oh
oh:::>>>> did i mention:::> when i got to Lucea country and tried to unpack, even though i was super-duper-tired..... hunger pains hit me HARD...!!..

i didn't panic:::::::: 'cause it was Friday and I KNEW some-somebody in the neighborhood, along the road, WOULD be selling something.

.
.
