Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 19, 2020 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

That would have been the rational explanation. Mostly I was inspired by my wife complaining bitterly about not getting the wifi in her office or the backyard. When I called Verizon to ask about a wifi extender or a web-network (whatever that means), the explained that my 10-year-old contract and set-up were horribly outdated and costing me unnecessarily.

I got the router in the mail a week ago, and it sat on my floor mocking me and my natural technology anxiety. After that same wife came and complained bitterly that I had had the damn thing for a week and hadn't hooked it up, I finally had to face my demons.

From an interview by Roger Steffens with Barrington Levy in '94:

Q: One of the most important songs in recent reggae history is "Under Mi SlengTeng." That was a revolutionary song. And yet, while Wayne Smith gets a lot of credit for that, it is you who created that rhythm and that song a few years before with "Under Mi Sensi."

A: Yes, definitely. Well, "Under Mi Sensi" gave him the inspiration to do that song, and I think they know. Jammy's know that, because when Jammy's come to England in 1983 "Under Mi Sensi" was on the charts at Number One for like 12 weeks - smash hit! I even ended up on British television singing about the weed. It was on a children's program, too. Thing called "Number 73." And Jammy's come to me and said, "Nice song, wicked song." And then after he went back to Jamaica, that was the first computerized rhythm that start off in Jamaica.

Q: But it's yoursong. Have you ever gotten a penny of royalities from any of the hundreds of versions of "SIeng Teng"?

A: No.
