Read on for today’s Smile Jamaica Jah-o-graphical History Lesson
Greetings,
The photo above is from the Aluminum (i.e. CD) share of the Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives I come from the land of the ice and snow. From the Midnight sun where the hot springs flow. Cratedigging in the land of my birth. Fort Benton, Jah-tana. Others might call it the Big Sky state: Montana
Found some great music this far North. Til I get back, enjoy last week’s edition of Smile Jamaica: July 12, 2014 Thanks for listening on the Mixcloud Here’s how we did on the Mixcloud charts for the July 5 Ark-Ive Episode
- Vinyl: 7
- Dub: 16

Give thankx for listening and keep spreading the word on 26 years of Roots Reggae!
So have you all ever heard the American folk tale about Shep? The loyal dog who lived in a train station. He waited for his (deceased) master everyday to return until he slipped on the railroad tracks and was killed by a train that could not stop in time. That is the definition of loyalty and love. He is from Fort Benton!
I’m gonna sprinkle some more photos from Fort Benton in between the sets of the Playlist below
bless, robt

Booch–you did a great job!
Thanks Pops!
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. There’s no doubt that
that you ought to publish more about this subject, it may
not be a taboo subject but typically people don’t
discuss such issues. To the next! All the best!!
I used to be recommended this website through my cousin. I’m not certain whether or
not this publish is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my difficulty.
You’re wonderful! Thank you!
I do consider all of the concepts you’ve offered on your post.
They’re very convincing and will definitely work.
Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could
you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the
post.
You could certainly see your skills within the article you write.
The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as
you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe.
At all times follow your heart.
