in the homestretch now with tonight's nut, ginkgo biloba. Facts are in the comments.

The summer of 1966 was so sweltering in Jamaica that the frantic riddims of ska were simply too much for the overheated dancers. As a result, legend (perhaps apocryphal) has it that bandleader Lynn Taitt instructed his players to slow things down, like playing a 45 at 33; that's a vinyl reference for all you space-age kids... ๐. The result was rocksteady, a sultry, sensual groove that was all the rage for about two years before it gave way to reggae and dub. I bring this up because it is indeed already sweltering here in Brooklyn, which often calls for a bit of the ol' rocksteady. So with a tune that bears that very name, here's some more (US) morning mellow.
