Grange Grieves Mighty Mike’s Death |
Opposition spokesperson on Culture and Entertainment, Olivia “Babsy” Grange, has expressed regret at the passing of veteran Irie FM DJ, Michael “Mighty Mike” Jones.
According to Miss Grange, Jones was one of the most versatile DJs on Jamaican radio and, in some 20-odd years at Irie FM, had proven his ability and earned the respect of a large number of reggae fans both at home and in the Diaspora.
“One of his most admirable attributes was his refusal to bow to popular demand, as up to the time of his death he resolutely held out for promoting the best quality Jamaican music that was available to him and at no time felt he had to play songs that were not fit for airplay in order to survive or to be popular,” Miss Grange said.
She stated that his death must be a great lossto Irie FM, as it will not be easy to replace him, but added that she was confident that the foundation he had laid for respecting good quality Jamaican music would be maintained during his slots, and would continue to guide theformat at the station.
“I grieve with his friends and co-workers, as well as the management of Irie FM and offer my deepest condolences to his family at his passing. I hope that they will ensure that he is always remembered for the positive contributions he made to our music and culture,” Miss Grange added.

Love so nice, they'll have to do it twice in New York, NY |
 New York, July 10, 2012: - Junior Kelly's passion for his craft was as palpable as the excitement inside the Rose Garden and as he entered centre stage last Sunday, crooning the lyrics of Blaze, fans held nothing back as they welcomed him back to Brooklyn, New York.
With a smile that reached the depth of his eyes, Junior Kelly showed his appreciation for the love he was being shown and gave as good as he got. It was a case where the fans could do no wrong and, despite performing on tracks, Kelly managed to pull up a song ...or two.. or three .. or more... on demand.
The theme for the night seemed to be 'patron satisfaction and pure niceness' and Junior Kelly delivered masterfully. Songs like Believe In Yourself, Dem Wrong, Missing You and Been There, the latest single that Junior Kelly is now promoting, connected with the audience, but Sunshine proved to be one of the biggest winners of the night. It had to be pulled up three times and each time it elicited a whole new wave of screams. As expected mega hits Receive and Love So Nice were eagerly embraced and and had a freshness that captivated.
It was a performance that reminded everyone present of the compelling power of Reggae music and after exiting the stage, Junior Kelly spent the rest of the night with his fans, signing autographs, taking pictures and graciously receiving compliments on a job well done.
"It has been refreshing," Junior Kelly said of the showcase and the reaction of the patrons, many of whom sang his songs word-for-word. "I have to give thanks that these wonderful people made the decision to spend their hard-earned money to buy a ticket to come to my concert. People have choices and, added to that, they also have work on Monday, so I am truly grateful that they chose to be here. And we all had such a blazing time," he said in between taking pictures and smiling with fans.
In fact, the 'Love So Nice' singer's concert was so nice that it will have to be done twice. Junior Kelly was booked on the spot for the first available date, which turned out to be two week's time. New York will therefore experience the second coming of Junior Kelly on July 22 at the Village.
However, as the singer emphasised, "It's not about Junior Kelly, it's all about the message and power of reggae music."

“Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.”
-- Nido Qubein
The 80/20 rule says that on a list of 10 tasks, only 2 of those tasks will return 80% of the value of the entire list. Look at your ‘to do’ list for today. Which tasks are directly related to what you most want in life? Find the 2 high value items on your list and tackle them first. These tasks are the ones that really move us forward.
Many of us actively avoid the top 2 priorities because they are more challenging than the rest. If they are to lead us to worthy goals, they are undoubtedly asking us to move into new territory in thinking and acting, and this can be scary. But this is also REWARDING!
“Don’t kid yourself: it’s because you’re doing all those C’s (low priorities) and NOT because you haven’t any time, that you don’t get to do your A’s.”
-- Alan Lakein

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows. Your call... |
