I dedicate this song to the people of Ghana who were affected by the flood and fire disaster in June 2015.  I strongly believe in the  ingenuity and positivity of the Ghanaian people who are currently being faced with dealing  with both the physical and emotional repercussions that comes with this unfortunate situation...'Better Days A Go Come'

This is a track that was originally written 4 years ago to celebrate that great Jamaican sporting achievement when Jamaican athlettes secured the first 3 places in the final of the 200 metres....We're now willing  our Jamaican athletes forward to give us a repeat of that massive feat..... At the same time, we're sending healing blessings and heart-warming  vibrations to our brother bass player Michael Bailey who has just undergone major heart surgery.  Get well soon bro.....
