Last year I got to vacation in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was a wonderfully fun and relaxing experience, and I could feel a reggae tune brewing. One day, while looking through the books and magazines in the gift shop, I found a book of Jamaican phrases. I picked it up, opened it to a random page, and my eyes went straight to the phrase “All fruits ripe” which means “Everything is just great. All is good.” I immediately knew I had discovered the title of my yet to be written song. The phrase summed up exactly how I felt, and I spent the next few nights out on the balcony drinking Red Stripe and writing this song.
Interesting side note – the cover of my CD “Rescue Me” is a picture I took while in Jamaica.

Don – great idea. Every so often another reggae tune comes out. At some point, maybe I’ll put them all together on one CD.
