Greetings,

And Happy Father’s Day to my Pops in Fort Benton Montana; 50 sec.

My Pops is pretty much the typical Dad. Stoic and serious but prone to the usual tried and true way of American Child Rearing:

<Do as  I say. Not as I do! 17 sec.>

Love the guy.

So I spent last Saturday in the Smile Jamaica Ark-Ives harvesting Father’s Day tunes Had enough for 2 and 1/2 hour. (More Mother’s Day for some reason? Considering Jah the Father, that was surprising.)

All time favorite Father’s Day song is one that still brings a tear to my eye. Charlie Ace – Father and Dreadlocks

<Preacher’s son goes to college, returns a Rastaman 76 sec.>

Father and Dread Locks – Charlie Ace (lyrics transcribed by Bobbylon)

• Hail Daddy-man!
• Wha’ppen when him come for the Holidays
• Yes-I! Whap’n rate up a draw of herb fi I place y’know!
• Son – who dat? No Parson’s son turn Rastaman!
• Yes-I! Man sight the fullness y’know?

• Parson send him one son fi (to) college for the study of religious knowledge
• Some day the boy decides to come home for Holiday
• But when he enter him home something strange happen
• He wasn’t wearing slicker suit
• He wasn’t wearing big heel boots
• He was wearing dungarees and sandals
• And when he moved his tam from his head
• Parson frightened til him was drop down dead
• When him natty dreadlocks drop to the ground

• So, his Dad looked at him and said:
• My son, my son what comes over you? What happened?
• You pass your GCE and sit upon University. What happened?
• I work morning, noon and night to get you there. What happened?
• He said, Daddy you don’t understand like I do
• But Jah has called upon I
• I have sight of the Promised Land

• Daddy, I know the way you feel but one day you will understand

• My son, what is the plan for the future?

• He said: Daddy, I plan to use my education to defend human rights, equality and justice throughout the Universe

• This time the Mother is in the kitchen cooking the best dressed chicken
• So she run when she realize her one son was home to greet her one son
• When she sight Natty Dreadlocks she nearly drop down dead
• She said: My son, my son. What are we going to tell the people of the neighborhood?

• He said: Mom, tell them that the power of Jah is moving on-ya!

The power of Jah is moving on indeed. Enjoy these tributes to the Dads with some Aliencon UFOria in the last half hour

<Aliencon plus Smile Jamaica UFOria in July for Roswell; 1 min. 40 sec.>

bless, Bobbylon
