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 .
