@cobybrouwer Begrijp je wat het nummer is te zeggen of heb je gewoon de muziek en het ritme liefde. Het moet leuk zijn leven in Nederland in het voorjaar en de zomer zijn.

Hi BB, Are you Bajan? My mom took me to Barbados in 69. I kept going every year until 89. It almost hurts to think of it, those were very special years, Wish I had breathed in deeper, relished every moment a little more. Sailing up the coast on the Jolly Roger & dancing to the Merrymen! It was so beautiful. Such special days! I will always remember eager to feel the sweet hot air hit my face when the plane landed, facing the planes doors waiting for them to open & that Barbdos air rushing in!

@rda4265 Yes, I am Bajan born and bred, as the saying goes. And I was truly impressed with how vivid your memories of Barbados are. We've developed a lot over the years, but there are still those special little spots that haven't changed that much. Nothing's more enchanting than to see a sunrise on East coast road or to watch the green monkeys frolic in the garden, picking the golden apples out of the trees. Now I hear the they are so bold that they are posing for photos in Sandy Lane. SMILE

Got a vinyl copy of one of their albums during a trip in 1983. Plus a couple of albums by Mighty Gabby. I'll put the album on mp3 one of these days! With the nice crackling sounds which I love.

Part 2: Do you know why the beach had the two names? I new Rockley for a fair number of years, then I heard Accra. I never got a clear answe. Just Curious. I was trying to remember Cheffet. Is it still there? Goddards Store, is it gone? Wish I could write a normal email. So much to say. I've wondered about making a trip back.There's that part of me that wants to remember the Barbados I first fell in love with. I'm being silly? My Barbadian connection is deeper then I've said.Love East Coast Rd.

It's really nice that you took the time to make a reply to my comment. I read what you wrote under the "Ivory" video and you helps my grasp so much more. The PepperPot! My frist time my first night in Barbadoes, then they moved to th Plantation. It was nice but I always missed the PepperPot. Since I wrote my first note to you I did a Google Maps search, I was trying to find AccraBeach. That was the beach that I went to for years. I have a question. I first knew it as Rockley Beach, then Accra...
