I've been trying to learn about various forms of reggae... I don't
have anything yet to report in general, but I have encountered a very
nice album of chrismas music:

	Reggae Christmas
	The Joe Gibbs Family of Artists

	featuring Trinity, Mighty Diamons, Culture, Jacob Miller, etc.

Very nicely done.  Many of the old christmas carols fit really well
into the reggae rythems.  The various instrumental and vocal 
"stylings" (as I think they're called...) bring some extra life
to the tunes.  "On the Twelve Day of Ismas" and "We three Kings"
are especially good.
