I love the island and appreciate what each side has to offer. However, when I was reading another post regarding noise pollution it reminded me of the one thing that I was surprised not hearing more when I first visited and as I continue to do each year...and that is island style music, i.e. steel drums, margaritaville type music being played during the day at the beach bars, hotel pools and restaurants. Instead, I hear much of the same music that we hear in the states. Much of what the sound is older Michael Jackson type songs. I realize that the island caters to many nationalities but being on vacation in the caribbean and hearing some reggae, salsa or the sound of steel drums in the background really enhances the mood. Throw in your favorite cocktail or beer and what more can you ask for. i find it ironic that I have to bring my island music cd's with me to get my fix. Am I the only one who found this strange?
