I see. Were you ever able to move those hips or did you never have that ability? Do you find the tapes of the sessions I posted as wild and out there as I do? Some of those young men looked way too young to be going to session and drinking beer.

[Tropicana]

Thank you for making an exception and answering dem.

So you can't do the ole time moves

Gallis (a world I learned from Wahalla and which has since been used by RichD and others) means a man wid plenty ooman.

As for the hips shaking see de video dem deh. Can you move your hips like dis?

It may take a bit for me to get LKJ to move his hips again, he doesn't do it often. He usually stands up as stiff as a board. He is like you, a very serious man but he can't resist shaking his hips during the hip solos..

[Tropicana]

Okay lots of guys shaking and moving hips in this one Even he does sometimes. Can you do that?

[Tropicana]

Okay he moves a lot here when de riddim tek im....can you do dat?

[Tropicana]

I am sure it would be beneath Wahalla's dignity fe go a session or whine 'im 'ips
