Crs Radio Caribbean Radio Show

A  few years ago I opened a credit card with a minor department store in my area.  The payments were low and I used it whenever emergencies arose, it was handy for birthday gifts, graduations, weddings or whenever they would have a sale on sheets , towels and underwear.  I kept the card in the back portion of my wallet and never really thought about paying it off completely, but I would always keep the payments low enough to manage. When I got get the bill, like most of America, I'd give a little here and stretch a little there, just enough to keep afloat. No big deal or so I thought. After a few years, the Department store closed abruptly and another company took over its accounts. The new company sent me a letter assuring me that my payments would remain the same and I continue send those minimum payments to the same address.  They even sent me a little tote bag for my trouble. ‘…But there arose a Pharaoh that did not know Joseph.’ But before long I was held hostage to an outsourced company and my nightmare of Globalization began!

This is my contribution to this world in turmoil a bit of love goes a long way! Quote: “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Lao Tzu It takes strength and courage to love in this day and age. Love is strength: a power force that increases our vigor, concentration and potency. So when someone gives out real unadulterated love you should be by the mere truth of that love be strengthened and empowered. When you in turn love someone deeply it is an act of courage; you must surrender and be brave and audacious enough to accept real true love.

Sangie Davis, real name Anthony Horace Davis, is a reggae songwriter and producer whose masterpieces include Bob Marley's "Wake Up and Live" and Sophia George's "Girlie Girlie." His involvement with Marley apparently also led to a handful of original songs that were never recorded as well as an A&R position for Davis at the Tuff Gong label. The aforementioned Marley song title came from an advertising sign on a building in Jamaica. "Girlie Girlie," an enormous hit for George, was extracted fresh from one of his own mother's critical comments. Apparently after seeing him hanging around with a pack of schoolgirls, Mrs. Davis asked "How you so girlie girlie?" Davis claims to have finished his song a brisk ten minutes later. In addition to songwriting and production, this artist has contributed both guitar stroking and background vocal touches to various reggae sides since the early '80s.   Hopeton Smythe Born in Hanover, Jamaica, and while enjoying a happy childhood the true roots of Rastafarianism and reggae music were instilled in him.
