We'd been trying to get together for awhile, and the stars aligned for this front yard rap session. We reminisced about those days (or rather, many nights) we played together. Between rehearsals and shows - we got together at least 1000 times - from 1989 till 2015. This was at Charlie Thorpe's place in Connecticut (he's seated to the left). We did another video interview of just him, called "How I became a Reggae Drummer" (see our Reggae Playlist here on YouTube). Rider McCoy (on keys) is sitting to the right. The mentioned Western Front was in Cambridgeport. The group's Dub Station Reggae Sunday residency ran from 1995 till 2008 (13 years!) at Bill's Bar. That was on Landsdowne St. - literally on the same street - and across from historic Fenway Park. Anyhow, yours truly, Kyle Russell, was manning the camera (and can be reached at KRucialK@gmail.com).
