Jamaica Season
Jamaica: not just a country!
Catholic Churches around here (maybe other places, too? Help me out, reader(s)!) host these fundraising events. There’s usually food and contests and music. By now, you’ve missed this one in Lorenzo, but you can mark your calendar for next year.

PS – It’s pronounced as a Spanish word, with an “h” sound standing in for the “j” and the accent on the first syllable.

Glad you clarified because I was thinking, reggae in Kansas?

Excuse me I mean reggae in Texas? Actually that idea is not so far-fetched. Certain parts of Texas, anyway.

Lubbock and the area does have a strong musical history, but there’s no reggae (as far as I know). But I’ll pay more attention, as it could have escaped my notice.

I was thinking that any reggae in Texas might be found closer to Austin. But what do I know?

My exhaustive research (~45 seconds) indicates that Dallas, Houston, and Austin all have a bit of a reggae scene.

That’s sort of along the lines of my thinking. I just don’t think Lubbock is the kind of place for reggae.

Yeah, that’s not really our thing. Apparently.

I trust you are clad in a uniform. I have always thought you were a real Texan or a wannabe.

I’ve always heard it pronounced “ha mai’ ka”. Yummy stuff.

Maybe there are regional differences? Maybe I’m wrong? (Probably that second thing.)

We Americans tend to get Spanish wrong. Quite possibly neither is correct.

That’s a good point. And we’re not even consistently wrong. For example, our local winery is the Llano Estacado, which we pronounce with the correct double-L sound. Down the road a bit is the town of Llano, which is pronounced with a English L at the beginning.
