When we first met with the legendary actor "Countryman" in Jamaica, we drove into Hellshire late in the afternoon and a local Rasta took us out to the point where he lived. We were all very excited to meet him including our long time friend Andrew Bassie Records - mr Bassman from downtown Kingston. Out there on the sand, Countryman has a house put together by steel panels with only the sand as its floor. Our guide knocked on the door as we waited. It had been almost 30 years since his movie came out. We knocked again, then finally a steel panel slid open and Countryman walked out with no shirt, just like in the film. Our good friend from Kingston said, "Holy Sh*t!!! It's really him!" We spent the remainder of the afternoon with him and delighted in his wonderful spirit and enthusiasm for Reggae, Rasta, and life.
