I love hearing the references to places where I grew up. I was born in Higgin Town, went to Lime Hall Primary, and then Ferncourt for my first year (before moving to Kingston and going to Calabar). Of course, every time I go back to Jamaica, I have to visit Higgin Town for a bit
Such beautiful memories. I went to Scotland years ago, went into a gift store and saw mouth organs. I bought three- 2 for my god children and 1 for me. Each time my grand kids come around they want to play it. As children we used to place a piece of silver paper that comes in the cigarette box, over a comb , as a substitute for the mouth organ😮
Just watched this awsome video, never been to Jamaica! The interview with the two ladies was fantastics! Also enjoyed the photos! Take care my friend ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thanks for sharing. I may be among the few Ferncourt Students alive who attended the school during Mrs Simpson's (Founder) time as Head Mistress, alongside her husband; J. J. Simpson; Retired School Inspector; populaly known as Specky. I lived in St Ann's Bay, & attended as a boarder. Mrs Simpson was an amazing person & commanded the respect of staff & students alike. My experiences were eye opening in many respects & I got to meet some interesting folks who are forever etched in my memory.
Kareem love your videos,bring back memories of growing up in jamaica Annotto bay st Mary keep up the good work everyone of them that I watch i enjoy ❤ from the🇧🇸
I’m from a district called Barnstaple that’s behind Brown’s Town in the hills of St Ann and there are students from there and neighbour😊district attended Ferncourt until now.. so all the high schools in St Ann served the whole parish and neighbouring parishes 💚🇯🇲🇨🇭
Lovely show this is where my parents are from Claremont. ❤ My Dad and Aunt would talk about tea dance😂 and his Mum ( my Grandma) loved dancing quadrill. I love this channel. It is fantastic and very appreciated. ❤ May God Bless you 🙏🏾. Please can you do the area Prickle Pole please ?
have a thing call harvest just before back to school brother smith church in drumilly st ann its near harmony vale on the way to bensonton we would ask him to have harvest last because his church hot people comes from everywhere st mary all around
Brother smith wife sister iola have a basic school the kids were bright there was little girl name sharon she was related to sister iola we used to say she swallow the bible she was about 5 years old she would recite the bible from jenesis to revelation she get ancore till she cry the chuch make money money on those ancore 3 4 ancore it was a pleasure hearing that 3 years old girl we said she mash the harvest that means good. those were nice days.
How childhood has changed since they were kids. Kids today cannot imagine themselves with no TV, phone and, of course, no Internet. The ladies from that period dressed in such a dignified manner. I love the dresses; and I think they were made by very talented dressmakers.
The rest of the song is 'for he's got his eyes on me, he's got his eyes on me, cause when me Jesus ready fi call me ,me nuh ready, me nuh ready fi die😂
Is it possible to find out if Mas Bobby was married to Caroline Hanniford (Smith)? Or, how long ago did he die? I'm working on a family tree and this info would help determine if we are related.
The host is not listening and has a nasty way of interrupting the guests in their stride, cutting their thoughts 😮 I notice it a few times in other videos too. But, very nice programme ❤ look at his face when she mentioned mouth organ and accordion 😅😅😅

Grand market! Claremont square was the place to be. Rusty and Doreen buses would be full. Fefe, blow blow, black dolls, good ole days
As a Ocho Rios taxi driver, I know those places and the parish well ❤❤❤ Respect to the Pasmore family who adapted me ❤❤❤
Kareem thank you

For real
Claremont square was the place to be for Christmas
OMG another truth to the saying, 50's to 70's were the best days of Jamaica. Wow, what a time and place to be ❤❤❤ I cry fi di yutes, of today 😢😢😢
The rest of the song is 'for he's got his eyes on me, he's got his eyes on me, cause when me Jesus ready fi call me ,me nuh ready, me nuh ready fi die😂
You know what I think that,s sort of true all those breadfruit and Ackee trees there who can go hungry?
Fire corner was down by TB Williams.

When you say mouth organ, do you mean Harmonic?

That's before the invasion of foreign cultures in Jamaica. Nowadays Americianism has taken over ,and the result is not very positive.
So true. What a shame 😢 I turned down my American Filing Status because of that. I visit, but that's it 😮
