What a wonderful time. That was when they were with Ma's Kansas City records. Still have a dozen 45's from those days.<br /><br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347676343688323752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-26441533719307273012021-07-23T11:00:20.903-04:002021-07-23T11:00:20.903-04:00Was lucky eniugh to know Dro and went to his home ...Was lucky eniugh to know Dro and went to his home in NJ and he came to my apt in NYC. I paid him to let me tape many of his rock steady 45's. I was crazy about rock steady and have done large surveys of this music when I had my Google Plus channel. Dro had a goood sense of humor. I do like some ska and of course I love reggae. Dro used to introduce me like this "This is Willie Luncheonette. He doesn<br />'t like ska or reggae. He only likes rock steady." RIP my friend.

He is the black man in the picture in the far right. They used to rehearse in our apartment, a ground floor of a row house. They did a Tuesday night gig open night at CBGBs (did not get paid). Patti Smith was there and took the stage and sang "You light up my life" I think it was her birthday. I really liked their music, but Norval did not stay with the group for that long.BETHANY THOMPSONnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-47278668602812639212016-05-30T18:38:42.442-04:002016-05-30T18:38:42.442-04:00The Terrorists recordings I produced for max's...The Terrorists recordings I produced for max's kansas city were never released because the owner lost his mind while dancing with the White Lady.Peter Crowleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-45315947037836094922015-11-02T17:46:40.832-05:002015-11-02T17:46:40.832-05:00The song "Fences" by Kozminot from 2000 ...The song "Fences" by Kozminot from 2000 is most likely the last recorded track that Dro from The Terrorist played drums on.

Gary also passed away many years ago. John Collins is still active and works with a band called the Hudson Dusters with Wild Bill Thompson of the Senders. These guys were steeped in the riddems. Between them and Benji, another rip, who worked for Marley as his bodyguard, I knew it then, but I'm incredibly fortunate to have been inside this musical bubble at that time, especially for this young white kid. I thought that's how things always were and would be.
