New Musical Experience...Reggae Symphony

I recently had the great honor & pleasure of attending "Reggae Symphony". This was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

What a wonderful experience! Reggae superstars, Freddie "Ever Ready" McGregor and John Holt backed by an orchestra.

Two completely different music types blended together to create a totally unforgettable experience! Together and separately, McGregor & Holt did their popular tunes and introduced a few new ones [McGregor].

Among other hits, McGregor performed "Big Ship", "Push Come to Shove", "I was Born a Winner" & "I Don't Wanna be Lonely".

Holt, who at times has been referred to as the "Barry White of Reggae" (http://www.reggae-reviews.com/johnholt.html) did not disappoint in his repertoire by performing hits such as: "The Tide is High", "Help Me Make It Through the Night", "Why Can't I Touch You?" & "Stick By Me".

These 2 superstars kept the audience dancing, singing, tapping their toes& snapping their fingers. Not to mention the laughter from the continuous banter between the audience & the performers.

As the new fan that I am, I saw McGregor for the first time the previous weekend at the 8th Annual Rivera Beach Music Fest, all I want to know is....McGregor, where will you be next week? Let's make it 3 weekends in a row!

Mr. Holt, I saw Mr. McGregor 2 weekends in a row....how about you match that!??!
