Worth waiting for, G. I'm going for a bit of Scottish Carib action this Thursday, courtesy of Mungo's Hi Fi, based in the Caribbean quarter of Glasgow.

Haven't had calypso to cheer on a Caribbean Thursday for a wee while, so here from 1958 is 'Carnival Proclamation' by Lord Melody.

'Barbados' by Charlie Parker just as a wee celebration of Barbados becoming a republic, and, after all, it's Caribbean Thursday.

Cool, John. Don't know that one off-hand, but it's a good choice for the day. And it's a 12-Bar. I expect it's OK to exclaim 'Up the Republic'.

It's Thursday so how about some nyabinghi drums and the great voice of Joseph Hill with Culture in 1978 and 'So Long Babylon'.

I pray that I am not breaking the Christmas embargo, but Santa Claus is most certainly ska-ing to town...Granville Williams Orchestra will tell you.

Being Epiphany and Caribbean Thursday, here's Prince Buster with 'King of Kings'. Not very Caribbean out there today.

Things are warming up out there, thaw to speak, and the hard ground is a wee bit softer - dare I say the earth is a touch Sponji? Black Uhuru backed by Sly and Robbie.

Found an old tape that I forgot I had of Bahamanian music and have been loving revisiting it this afternoon. Here's the wonderful 'Ain't no Grave Gonna Hold God's Body Down' with Edith Pinder, Geneva Pinder, Raymond Pinder, and the unmistakeable guitar and rasp of the mighty Joseph Spence, recorded in June, 1965 in the Bahamas.

This turned up on the radio this morning and transformed the snowy Angus landscape into a Caribbean sunscape, albeit momentarily. Major Lazer - 'Can't Stop Now'.

That's the snow back!
