.....................BEST KEPT missive May 22, 2002
Whaddup you beautiful peoples!
What-what is that bright...sh-shining orb outside? It's...it's lighting up
the sky, and when I stretch my arm out as far as it goes out the window,
it...it feels warm.
Ahhhhh...THE SUNSHINE!
So easy to forget. Yes, it was only another FULL DAY OF DOWNPOUR yesterday
after a nice sunny weekend, but isn't the saying 'April showers bring May
flowers'. The operative term here being April showers. So take 30 seconds
now...close your eyes...and start singing to yourself this mantra in a nice,
soft voice:
'summer, summer, summertime...time to sit back and unwind...'.
We'll bring on the 'hot hazy humid 40+ C' gods in no time...
To get the psychic energies flowing in the right direction:

:::::TONIGHT:::::
The BEST KEPT gyals welcome Jah Reverend to the CHRY studios for a serious
throwdown of all things dub, roots, and dancehall. Reverend's is version
master extraordinaire, playing all over Toronto for the last few years and
bringing the healing sounds to all massive. If you're a fan of riddims,
don't miss this, and definitely don't miss out on Reggaemylitis II, going
down tomorrow (Thurs May 22). Reverend will be throwing down tunes
alongside selectahs Chocolate and Jelly, while The Resinators and The
Movements bring live dub and reggae to the place. Also performing will be
guest vocalists King Ujah and Wayne Passion, and guest MC Whitey Don. Phew!
All happening at Kathedral (651 Queen St. W @ Bathurst), and only $10 at the
door.
Yeah yeah!

:::::JAMS AND OTHER BUSINESS:::::
After some deliberation, us BEST KEPT gyals have decided that as much as we
love all y'all throwing them parties, we can't show love to everyone all the
time as it gets mad for the mailout and such, so we'll only be including
jams we're involved with. Send us your listings and we can definitely let
the peoples know when we're on air...link either bestkeptsecret_at_sympatico.ca
or daliac_at_citytv.com. Much respect.
