I agree with you 100%. In fact, we are returning to SXM in July, staying in simpson bay, and I have been searching this forum for info about steel drum/reggae bands that play on the island. I understand why most places play the generic stuff, but I'm surprised we don't hear even a little island music during our stay. Maybe we're just not going to the right places. Well, either way, we are dealing with yet ANOTHER winter storm here in NYC, so right now I don't care if all I hear during our stay this summer is Yoko Ono, so long as I don't have to wear 5 layers of clothes to hear it. That said----let's ask the forum: where are all the steel drums???
