The bird with the Black Tear drop

I was referring to, above, was a Tern, It has a black teardrop etched over its eyes.


Just like the Wailers had alternate versions, birds have alternate songs.


The End.

Natty "Nathaniel " Bumppo

Pete dunne the author, refers to Natty Bumpo (with Audubon overtones) , . on page 11, of his book "The Feather Quest " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natty_Bumppo

Rock Sweet Rock

I was just playing "Rock Sweet Rock ", one of my favorite Wailers songs and it reminded me of the Bird, Cock of the Rock. Look at my Face book page for pictures, and videos.

I'm sure Bob heard the music by the " Mighty Sparrow"
http://www.mightysparrow.com/

On the song "Put it On " Bob sings "no more crying , which again reminds me of the bird with the tear drop.

During the Introduction of Chorus of "Natural Mystic" One mostly hears crickets.

To quote the writer, Pete Dunne, "Interpertation is in this writers mind"

Babylon is the Vampire (Bat)

In the song "Bumba Clot", Tosh states the common phrase " I'm free as a bird"

One my bird songs CD's, frequent when a a few birds sing together, it is referred to as a chorus, which reminded me of the label , "Peter Tosh and the Vodoo Chorus"

Wailers and birdning

There is a bird with a tear dop behind it eyes, which reminded me of the lyrics to a 6o's Wailers song, ( which I forgot the name of ) and the Bunny Song , " Tears in my eyes"

I was tryingto upload, unsucessfully, a picture of a vine, that the guide referred to as a "Dreadlock plant"

Outline for Wailers Birding book

Reggae and Birds

Peter Tosh mentions Geese and Gander in "Lemon Tree"

Birding and Wailers

I have always said that, Creation is Tosh's "Swan song " and Redemption is Bob's.

Also, there are "Gulls" calling throught the song.

In Peter Cashwell's book The verb , To Bird" he reminds me of the use of Toshs' borrowed line "

'What' s good for the Goose is good for the Gander" p132

Reggae and Panama

I recently returned from Panama, and took these Reggae Related Pictures.

Jamaicans were instrumental in building the Panama canal.

Wailers and Birding

I recently spoke with a world famous Birder, and I hope to be asked to write about Wailers and Birding, for a forth coming book: there lyrics would be analyzed:

Ideas for mychapter would be :

1Buffle Head soldier

2. " Treat me Good" by tosh, " uses the old metaphor ...Geese ..../Gander...

3. " Pick Myself up." Tosh said " if I Had wings I would fly"

4. In Ride Natty Ride," Bob said: " Only the Birds have their wings "

5. " ...Birds eat it " in, "Legalize it "

6. In a unreleased song , Bob stated in a Soprano voice: "A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, Oh baby I love you so"

7. In another unreleased song , Bob appears to say "My life is spinning, like a spinning wheel. ..I got my vulture .... My Plan..

In the book by "Kingbird highway by Tracy Kider , on page 246, the author writes

"Birfs of white and sky of gold

All that shivers is not cold "

I mention other birding Wailers/Spear associations ealier in the blog.

I could expand the topic to Reggae and Birding .
