Children Of The Night... podcast

Children Of The Night

This time of year (depending upon your hemisphere) has always had humans thinking of the harvest, and the darkness that comes, after. And, the things that inhabit that darkness.

Fictional, though they may be... you were either going to get pounded, strangled, or have your lungs ripped out... except for Dracula. Blood & Soul was his tribute.

Personally, it's the monsters in the human suits that vex me.

A Likkle Way Different: JA and New Orleans attached at the "Hip"

It's called "Red Beans And Rice And Peas".

Twins across the Gulf of Mexico. Caribbean countries.
Same legacy in chains. Same staple on the dinnerplate. Same Bad/Rough-rough weather.
It shows in the music, too. Amplified across the water. Reflected.
Ska and R&B and Soul and Rock Steady and Reggae and Funk.

Inseparable.
