this is just some that i know,and my jamaican peeps can add much more to this list for sure.
and P.S.
the white witch of rose hall is a myth... not true at all, no documents exsist from the era to support that legend, none. it just made for good reading.... sorry to bust anyones bubble on that fact. bob marley is a legend, the white witch is a celebrity. |
