I just rode back to my hotel room on a small ferry after spending the late afternoon and evening at the Universal Park. The rides were loads of fun. But the best part was the live band at the Bob Marley restaurant and nightclub. If I didn't have to present in the morning, I would have closed the joint down!
The band was made up of 5 young and talented men - an amazing guitarist (whom I am sure is really a blues man earning his bread as a reggae performer), a bass player whose fingers were thick and nimble (I've always had fantasies about bass players - not sure why, just something very cool and hot about them), the drummer and keyboard players were low keyed but each worked out on their instrument, when it was called for. Lastly, was the lead singer. A hottie, though I didn't really think he was a good singer until he began to improvise soca style. He tore it up and took me back to my family roots!
For those of you who don't know, soca comes from Trinidad/Tobago and when you wind-up to it, you work your hips like they are the only part of your body worth moving. I learned the dance when I was very young, watching my mother and her sisters. I mastered it as a young adult at Caribbean parties, complete with blue lights, patties, coco bread and scotch.
There is nothing like being brought to a state of feeling young, sexy and at one with the music! I danced for 3 straight hours tonight and only stopped because I had to get up in the morning.
I feel gifted and appreciative of Life. I wish for you the same.
