Expert Profile: Grant Miner

Expertise:  I can answer a broad range of questions on reggae music, its history, and the religious and social factors that have influenced its development in Jamaica and elsewhere. I also have a similarly broad knowledge base for old school Punk Rock (circa 1976-1982).

Experience in the area
A performing musician for 20 years, I have traveled extensively in Jamaica and England as well as the USA, always with an eye and an ear for music.

Publications
In the early 80s I conducted interviews and wrote for numerous underground music magazines: Paranoia, Flipside, etc. More recently I have written about sports for Bartcop.com


Awards and Honors
American Academy of Poetry Award (1984)

Many thanks Grant. The Matilda lyrics are just what I recall from a concert he did and I can easily cut them back to a usable song. The Maryanne ones
