Reggae Pioneer Willie Dickson Plays for Spreadsheet Day

Jamaican Reggae Legend Willie Dickson of Willie Dickson and the Playboys wishes everyone a happy spreadsheet day and then dazzles us with drum rendition of the Rasta Beat.

Background vocals by Dickson’s Russea’s High School schoolmate Llewelyn Grant.

Special performance for spreadsheet day by a legendary drummer and one of the godfathers of Reggae and a legendary drummer.

Funny story: When I first heard of Willie Dickson, I confused him with Chicago blues legend Willie Dixon who has passed away. Our Willie Dickson tells of meeting Willie Dixon on the road in Montreal one time when they were coincidentally booked into venues on the same block.

Spreadsheet Day is October 17 and marks the anniversary of the release of VisiCalc on October 17, 1979.
