Mr Brown" by Bob Marley and Glen Adams, mentions Crows:
(Ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)(It's Mr Brown) Mr Brown is a clown who rides to town in a coffin.(Well, here he comes) In the top is ... three rows on top and two inside there.Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah!What a botheration! Ooh, now, now!Who is Mr Brown? I wanna know now!He is nowhere to be found.From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,Asking for Mr Brown.From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,Asking for Mr Brown.
I wanna know who (is Mr Brown)?Is Mr Brown controlled by remote?O-o-oh, calling duppy conqueror,I'm the ghost-catcher!This is your chance, oh big, big Bill bull-bucka,Take your chance! Prove yourself! Oh, yeah!Down in paradePeople runnin like a masquerade.The police make a raid,But the people - oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah - they think itfade.
What a thing in town
Crows chauffeur-driven around,Skankin' as if they had never known
The man they call "Mr Brown".
I can tell you where he's from now:From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,Asking for Mr Brown.From Mandeville to slide-a-ville -/fadeout

Thursday
I have to investigate the Dove sounds, on Bunny's "One Foundation", and maybe on Duppy Conqueror"
Wednesday
In addition to the Wailers cover, I have in my "Wailers Related" Collection, a "Wings of a Dove",45, on Red vinyl, possibly by prince Buster.
Sunday
Bob's lyrics"When my work is done, I will fly again home " have been discussed ad nauseum, and the image of a Turkey Vulture, possibly representing Bob has been used in several Wailers documentaries.
Wailers/Birds
Bob sang in "She's Gone", from "Kaya"`` Oh Mocking bird , have you ever heard? Mockers, listen, and immitate . The rest of the lyris are about listening to his words.

Peter Tosh
I would imagine that the 3 little birds on his doorstep would be House Sparrows. (at least America) .
Sparrows have acclimated well to peoples yards, and would be likely brave enough, to come close to a door.

Marley and Bird Watching
Bird watching has a lot in common with Collecting Bob. One is always looking out for the newest, cleanest, rarest, latest... It's all about the Endorphin rush.

Manhattan Center Audio
Bob name in the above Hindu letters , looks something like 2 bass cleff notes, but I'll have to think about that some more.
Teeth are very important to me, since I married a Columbia School of Dentristy Graduate.
At the Manhatten Center 76 or 75 show, during Lively up Yourself , at 6:55 Bob seems to say "Didn't see no Dentist"
By the way I miss, unheard Wailers music.
It looks like the Beatles are bigger than Bob, at least more popular in the Western Hemispehere. (maybe not as imp. on a World level).Please refer to the last chapter of my book, regarding this.

Bob Marley, Stay with the Rhythm
http://www.spinner.com/2009/09/15/producers-bogarting-bob-marley-doc-says-director-jonathan-demme/
I have personally heard over the phone , about a dozen or more unreleased Wailers alternate takes, (that I do not own.) I do not understand why a Marley Antholgoy can not be released? (a la Beatles )
I would like to wish Susanna Lizama a happy 60th birthday ( and be happy you got there) and thank her for all her assistacne with my blog/book/journal.
I might haave heard that 3 Marley concert videos were sold to the Marley estate for 125,000, each. One of those being the Manhattan Center.
I wonder if anybody ever noticed that at 2:19, on Trench T own Rock, Bob changes the vocalization/tune.
(It's hard to say what he does, maybe take out the melody.
Midnight Ravers" is an extended version, and most importantly, at the start of one, song Bob says something about going to a Dentist. (I'll try to get back to this)
