Have a stack of membership renewals to go through today and tomorrow, and I will let anyone whose renewal arrived during my absence know that it has arrived at this end as soon as I have processed it. Same for new memberships. Will be sending out August renewal notices in the next week or so. And also updating my drop list for anyone whose membership is way overdue (my least favorite job!), so if you are overdue, be sure to send in your membership asap. Postings for Wha Gwaan in RAW can now be sent directly to me once again at tap@kuentos.guam.net I was able to access my email accounts a few times during my travels and think I got all posts out that were sent to me while I was on the road. Some referred to events that had already taken place so those did NOT get included in WGIR. Remember that if you send me a post that includes graphics, photos or music, I will send that post back to you and request that you resend only the text part. I am happy to report that the Board is close to having a complete set of by-laws ready for approval. I was able to talk to Kyle by phone a couple days ago, and we have a few points to clarify, but I am confident that we should have a working set of by-laws ready to present to the massive soon come. Ever forward Tom #33 ____ | __ \EGGAE | \/ //\MBASSADORS |_|\_\<>\\ /\ORLDWIDE #33 jahson@kuentos.guam.net /_/\_\\/\/ / \//\\/ Forwarding The Reggae Vibe...Everytime! http://www.reggaeambassadors.org [2] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >From:DJ Sister Yasmin (R.A.W. #56) Subject: SISTER CAROL performs this FRIDAY!

For users with a broadband connection we have featured two new music videos in our Sounds section. Richie Spice's "Blood Again" on Pow Pow's "Blaze" riddim and Sanchez with "Alcohol Or Music". Clinton Fearon & Boogie Brown Band's "Give And Take" is a good album that should not be ignored by the self-respecting roots reggae fan. Silvertones' "Young At Heart" is brilliant, showcasing the heights of Jamaican harmonies and the strength of Studio One's legacy. From Austria comes a very interesting and surprisingly good compilation set entitled "Sam Gilly's House Of Riddim Presents". Eek-A-Mouse's brand new cd "Eek-A-Speeka" treats the listener to a variety of styles. Fireblender" is Little Tempo's first album to be released outside Japan.

Doreen Schaffer's "Adorable You" is an absolutely must have album. Message In The Dub" sees Mossman and Bunny in fine dubbing shape. Is It Rolling, Bob? ~ A Reggae Tribute to Bob Dylan" is a decent re-imagination of songs of one of the World's most noted songwriters.
