"CATCH-A-COUSIN: Big excitement in Devon, England. A report in The Times of London says connection has been made with people identified as the "other side" of Bob Marley's family that is, kin of his English-born father.
The headline screams: "The Times traces Bob Marley's white English family to North Devon". Not all members of the clan are excited at the discovery. One sniffed, "Never heard his music before today." (There's no evidence that she's been residing in a deep cave.) She didn't know much of Jamaica either. Asked if she would like to visit, she declined on the grounds that she doesn't travel far. Another of the cousins, however, is good to go. He already has a tam with sewn-in dreadlocks.

Imagine Bob's English kin arriving to learn "Trench Town Rock" on Ninth Street or checking the family vine and fig tree at Nine Miles, St Ann. The Marley legend lives! One Love!"[email protected]
