Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):

TENOR SAW
Dancehall legend
"Born in 1966 in Kingston, Jamaica, Clive Bright, aka Tenor Saw, came
into the music business in the mid-1980s and his first recording was
"Roll Call" for the producer George Phang in 1984. The young recording
artiste then came under the tutelage of the singer Sugar Minott who
ran a sound system and a recording label called Youth Promotion. In
1985, Saw recorded "Lots of Sign," a tune which recycled a line from
Bob Marley's "Wake Up and Live Now" ("Life is one big road with lots
of signs"), but he really burst upon the dancehall scene with a hit
song entitled "Ring the Alarm" which was based on a "riddim," or drum-
and bass workout, called "Stalag 17"..."

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if
you have anything to share.

See you online,
Jason
