2014 Eric Cottat Sancerre Rouge (last of vintage) (Previously $20)

SKU #1239849

Super fresh with lots of red spice and textural mineral. Lighter in color and body but with really nice focus and drive. I prefer to open this and decant for about an hour so the purity of fruit can open up and really shine. We were first introduced to the wines of Eric Cottat a few years Back. He was brought to our attention by one of our long-time friends and winemakers in Sancerre and we brought in a small amount as that was all we were allowed to take at the time. Eric is a one-man show and only produces a small amount of wines each vintage for family, friends, and close customers, and then sells the rest of his fruit off to other eager producers in the region. Last year I had the opportunity to pay Mr. Cottat a visit and quickly became enamored by how he goes about doing things. He speaks no English (my French is laughable) but, actually took the time to handwrite a cheat sheet of important translations and made sure that I wasn't going to leave until I got it. So, we tasted through all three of the wines a few times over a blanc, rosé, and rouge. And, well, I got it! Right then and there I tried to order up as much as of his wines as I could and had no hesitation of making his wines as part of our core Loire program. (Eric Story, K&L Loire Wine Buyer)

I love this wine purely for the fact that it is not like so many of the now typical styles of Pinot out there. This is bright, pure, fresh on the palate. This isn't one of those big sappy reds which is tiresome and makes you want to crawl under a blanket. Some really good energy in this wine.

Additional Information:

Pinot Noir

- One of France's most legendary grapes and the grape that earned Burgundy its reputation. The parent of varietals like Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir is blue to violet to indigo in color with relatively thin skins, and it is said to have been cultivated in France for more than 2,000 years. At its best, Pinot Noir creates elegant wines that are filled with primary red fruit aromas and flavors while young, revealing with an array of secondary characteristics like earth, smoke, violet, truffle and game with age. The varietal is also known, perhaps better than any, for its ability to translate terroir, or a sense of place. While the best Pinot Noir still comes from Burgundy, it is being produced with increasing success in cooler climates around the world. In France, it is part of the trifecta of grapes that can go into Champagne, and it is also grown in Alsace, Irancy, Jura, Savoie, Lorraine and Sancerre. Outside of France it is produced under the names Pinot Nero and Blauburgunder in Italy's mountainous regions, as Spätburgunder in Germany and as Blauburgunder in Austria. In the US, Pinot Noir has found suitable growing conditions in the cooler parts of California, including Carneros, the Russian River Valley, the Anderson Valley, the Sonoma Coast, Monterey County, the Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Barbara County, as well as in Oregon's Willamette Valley. In recent years, New Zealand has demonstrated its ability to interpret this hard-to-grow varietal, with successful bottlings coming from careful and attentive growers in Central Otago, Martinborough and Canterbury. Chile is also an up-and-coming region for Pinot Noir, creating fresh, fruit-forward, early-drinking and affordable Pinots from the coastal Casablanca Valley and the Limari Valley.

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.

- Of all of the French wine producing regions, the Loire might produces the greatest variety of wines. They range from still to sparkling, very dry and acidic to hearty sweet, and clear in color to a deep purple. The diversity of wine produced in this region is due in part to its dynamic climate, which ranges from Continental to Mediterranean. This region is best known for Sauvignon blanc, Chenin blanc and Cabernet Franc. The most famous areas in the Loire Valley may be Sancerre and Vouvray.

2013 Etude Carneros Pinot Gris

SKU #1264797 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

 Pale, bright yellow. Sexy aromas of orange blossom, lemon oil and spices, complicated by a leesy nuance. Dense and supple, with a slight warmth leavened by lemon and a touch of minerality. Finishes quite dry and persistent. In the style of an Alsace Pinot Gris. (ST)  (5/2014)

 The 2013 Pinot Gris is bright, crisp and refreshing. White flowers, pears, apples and almonds are all laced together nicely in the glass. This pretty, aromatic white is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years. (AG)  (10/2014)

Additional Information:

Pinot Gris

- Also known as Pinot Gris in France, where it originated as a mutation of Pinot Noir. The berries can vary in color from yellowish to bluish-violet producing wines that range from white to slightly pink. The most successful wines from the grape come from the Collio in Friuli (Northeast Italy), where the wines are light- to medium-bodied, crisp, dry and, because of their high acidity, complementary to the region's foods like speck, Prosciutto di San Daniele and polenta. In Alsace, where the grape takes a back seat to more popular varietals like Gewürztraminer and Riesling, it is generally rich and honeyed. Other successful plantings of Pinot Grigio exist in Austria, Germany, Hungary and Romania, with even smaller amounts planted in British Columbia, Australia, New Zealand and California.

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world. Click for a list of bestselling items from the United States.

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year. For our entire selection of California wines, please visit this link.
Specific Appellation:

- Just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, Carneros is kept cool by Bay breezes and thick fog, and has long been famous for cool-climate pinot noir, chardonnay and sparkling wine based on the two varietals. Warmer pockets have proved interesting and promising homes for syrah, cabernet and merlot.

SFA Puts Win Streak On Line at Central Arkansas - KTRE.com | Lufkin and Nacogdoches, Texas

SFA Puts Win Streak On Line at Central Arkansas

NACOGDOCHES, TX (News Release) -

Stephen F. Austin heads back on the road for a key Southland Conference game at Central Arkansas Saturday, November 7th, at 2:30 p.m. at Estes Stadium in Conway, Arkansas. The game marks a homecoming of sorts for Lumberjack head coach Clint Conque, who spent 14 seasons as the head coach of the Bears, as the game will air on the American Sports Network.

Saturday’s game in Conway, Arkansas, will be televised live on the American Sports Network, marking the Lumberjacks’ second appearance on the network this season. David Saltzman and N.D. Kalu will have the call with Chris Mycoskie on the sideline. My KLPN in Tyler will broadcast the game as it will be available over the air on channels 47.1 and 51.2, on Suddenlink channel 133 in Nacogdoches and Suddenlink channels 9 and 109 in Tyler. A full list of ASN affiliates is available at Southland.org/ASN as the game will also be streamed live atSouthland.org/Watch and on the Southland Conference app. Rob Meyers will once again broadcast the game live on radio at Q107.7 FM as fans can listen online at Q1077.com.

Saturday’s game at Central Arkansas is one that has been anticipated since December 14, 2013 - the day SFA announced it had hired Clint Conque as it’s 19th head football coach. Conque makes his first trip back to the stripes at Central Arkansas after spending 14 seasons as the Bears’ head coach, amassing an overall record of 105-59 (.640), earning a distinction as the second-winningest collegiate football coach in the state of Arkansas behind legendary Razorback coach Frank Broyles. Conque guided UCA through its transition from Division II to Division I, making four NCAA postseason appearances and was a three-time Coach of the Year selection.

Synopsis: Central Arkansas enters the week at 5-3 overall and 5-1 in Southland Conference play, sitting tied for second in the conference standings. The Bears have won two-straight, including a 21-16 win against Southeastern Louisiana last Saturday, with UCA’s lone SLC loss coming in a 28-13 defeat to conference leader McNeese State. Central Arkansas is averaging 28.4 points and 421.2 yards per game, running a balanced offensive attack which accounts for 199.4 rushing yards and 221.9 passing yards per game. RB Dominique Thomas has accounted for nearly 800 yards of offense for the Bears, rushing for 601 yards while recording 178 receiving yards. Defensively, UCA is allowing 22.5 points and 368.0 yards per game and have been tough against the run all season, allowing 133.9 yards per game. DE Jonathan  Woodard continues to anchor the UCA defensive unit, recording seven tackles for loss and four sacks, with Devin Spurlock leading the Bears with 51 tackles on the year.

Stephen F. Austin and Central Arkansas meet for the 10th time Saturday as the Bears hold a 6-3 (.667) edge in the all-time series, dating back to 2006. UCA has won the last two games, including last season’s 49-39 victory in Nacogdoches, and is 3-1 all-time against the Lumberjacks in Conway. SFA’s lone win at Estes Stadium came in 2009 when the ‘Jacks outlasted the Bears 33-30, as the ‘Jacks also earned wins in 2010 (30-7) and 2012 (42-37).

Stephen F. Austin put together its most complete game of the season to date on Homecoming as the Lumberjacks raced past Incarnate Word 55-21. SFA scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to pull away from the Cardinals as the Lumberjack defense limited UIW to just 64 second half yards and recorded two defensive touchdowns of its own, the first for the Lumberjacks since 2011. Zach Conque threw for 270 yards and four touchdowns while Aaron Piper logged a career-best six catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Loren Easly added to his impressive freshman campaign with 85 rushing yards, including a 41-yard touchdown run to open the game. Mason Juhl hit a 48-yard field goal at the end of the first half, a new career-best and the longest SFA field goal since 2009.

One thing that should be expected Saturday when SFA and Central Arkansas meet is no shortage of points. The Lumberjacks and Bears have put up some impressive point totals in their nine previous games as the two teams are averaging a combined 72 points per game (38.7 for UCA and 33.6 for SFA), with the victorious team averaging 42 points in the nine game series. The highest total between the two came in 2013 when SFA and UCA combined for 97 points in a 66-31 Bears victory, followed closely behind by the combined 90 points in UCA’s 49-41 win in 2008. The lowest combined total for the two teams was 37 points in 2010 when SFA won a “defensive struggle,” 30-7.

Sophomore WR Aaron Piper logged his best game in a Lumberjack uniform Saturday against Incarnate Word, pulling in six passes for 139 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Piper turned a slant route into a 66-yard touchdown catch and run late in the second quarter, going down as the longest touchdown pass since 2013, while adding a 26-yard touchdown catch and run in the third quarter as part of a 28-0 run to close the game for the Lumberjacks. The 139-yard receiving game was the most for the Lumberjacks since Tyler Boyd’s 229-yard receiving game against Lamar in 2013 as Piper becomes the first SFA receiver to log a 100-yard receiving game in 2015.

Freshman RB Loren Easly continued the solid start to his SFA career, rushing for 85 yards on 10 carries against Incarnate Word, including a 41-yard touchdown rush to open the game for the Lumberjacks. Through the first seven games of his career, Easly has rushed for 604 yards on 92 carries, averaging 6.6 yards per carry, with four touchdowns. Three of his touchdown rushes have been explosive plays, including an 80-yarder against Sam Houston State and a 75 touchdown rush at third-ranked TCU, going down as the fourth (tied) and eighth longest rushes in program history.

Stephen F. Austin’s defensive unit has started to find its groove in the past few games and have helped turn the tide in the Lumberjacks’ three-game winning streak. Defensively, SFA had two touchdowns in the win over Incarnate Word, a 47-yard fumble return by Tre Rosser and a 13-yard interception return for Marlon Walls, marking the first time since 2011 the ‘Jacks have recorded a pair of defensive scores in the same game. SFA’s defense also came up big in the second half, limiting the Cardinals to just 64 total yards over the final two quarters and just 47 following the third quarter fumble.

Junior QB Zach Conque had another impressive performance in the win over Incarnate Word Saturday, completing 22 of his 33 passes for 270 yards and a career-best four touchdowns. Conque now has 26 career touchdown passes, tied for ninth all-time in program history, as he remains one of just two Division I quarterbacks that have both passed and rushed for at least 20 touchdowns in the last two seasons (joined by Montana State’s Dakota Prukop). With his efforts over the weekend, Conque surpassed 5,000 total offense yards, sitting at 5,010 for his career, which is ninth all-time in SFA history. He also ranks in the top-10 in three other categories, including tied for sixth in career rushing touchdowns (26), seventh in career completions (371) and moving into ninth in career passing yards (3,949), putting him among SFA’s all-time leaders in five statistical categories.

For the second-straight season, SFA fans will see a hefty dose of purple on game days. The Lumberjacks go head-to-head with four other schools in 2015 that also boast purple as their primary color, including TCU, Abilene Christian, Central Arkansas and Northwestern State, building on the six games the ‘Jacks had against purple foes in 2014. While the Lumberjacks embrace the purple, they haven’t fared well against their counterparts in the past two seasons, posting just a 2-5 (.289) record against purple foes.

Saturday’s game at Central Arkansas marks the 12th time in program history the Lumberjacks will suit up on November 7th, posting a 3-8 (.273) record on the date. SFA has won its last two November 7th games, the last of which was a 31-27 victory over Nicholls in 2009. SFA’s last road game on the date came back in 1970, a 41-28 loss at Angelo State, with the Lumberjacks’ lone November 7th road win coming in 1959 when SFA won at Howard Payne 21-7.

Stephen F. Austin returns home for the final home game of the 2015 season next Saturday, November 14th, playing host to Houston Baptist. It marks the Huskies’ first ever trip to Nacogdoches as the Lumberjacks will honor their 15 seniors prior to the game. Kickoff against HBU is set for 3 p.m. and will be broadcast worldwide through ESPN3.

Farm, Food, Forestry and More On The Table in the Next Federal Farm Bill

In the coming months, Congress will map out how it’ll spend upwards of $500 billion on food and farm programs over the next five years. The massive piece of legislation known as the farm bill affects all taxpayers — whether they know it or not — and runs the gamut from farm safety net and conservation programs to food stamps and loan guarantees for rural hospitals. Since the bill hasn’t been introduced yet, now is the time when interest groups, farmers and others clamor to ensure their desires will be heard.

Snow Day: Live Storytelling on Jan. 17

An event showcasing community storytellers sharing tales on a theme: Snow Day, stories about winter. Join KUNC for this free event at Wolverine Farm Letterpress and Publick House in Fort Collins.

Edwin Hawkins' "Oh Happy Day" was an accidental hit. The song, a gospel-style rework of an 18th century hymn, starts with a jazzy drum beat and a kind of blues pop piano groove. Dorothy Morrison, who sings lead on the recording, remembers at first, the pop feel got a lukewarm reception from the church.

"At first the reaction was, 'Well, we're not sure,' " Morrison says.

The Secretary of Homeland Security testified Tuesday that she did not hear President Trump use a vulgarity in a meeting with lawmakers about immigration last week.

The president was widely reported to have used a disparaging word to describe African nations and wondered aloud why people from countries like Haiti were allowed to come to the United States.

By 1938, clarinetist Benny Goodman was already known as "The King of Swing" — the leader of the most popular dance band in America at a time when swing jazz was America's most popular music. But nobody knew how it would be received in Carnegie Hall, America's temple to classical music.

Editor's note: This report includes graphic and disturbing descriptions of sexual assault.

There's a trial scheduled in March at the marble courthouse in Newark, N.J., of a man charged with kidnapping and raping a young woman with an intellectual disability.

That trial is likely to be a quiet one, with little attention, nothing like the feverish national press coverage 25 years ago of the trial — in that same courthouse — in another case of sexual assault of another young woman with an intellectual disability.

What are the hidden messages in the storybooks we read to our kids?

That's a question that may occur to parents as their children dive into the new books that arrived over the holidays.

And it's a question that inspired a team of researchers to set up a study. Specifically, they wondered how the lessons varied from storybooks of one country to another.

For a taste of their findings, take a typical book in China: The Cat That Eats Letters.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, better known as the Mormon church, has named 93-year-old Russell M. Nelson as its new president.

"I express my deep love for you — love that has grown over decades of meeting you, worshipping with you and serving you," Nelson, a former surgeon and longtime church leader, said in a live video announcement Tuesday morning from the Salt Lake Temple in Utah.

Nearly 90 women who allege they were sexually assaulted by a former USA Gymnastics doctor plan to speak about the abuse during a four-day sentencing hearing that started Tuesday.

Larry Nassar is accused of sexually abusing more than 140 women and girls as the doctor for Team USA and Michigan State University.

He has pleaded guilty in Ingham County, Mich., to seven first-degree sexual assault charges. Before ordering a sentence, the judge in the case is allowing all of his accusers to speak if they want to.

Capitol Hill Republicans are nervous about November. The margins of their majority are dwindling in both chambers. It's looking like a good year to run as a Democrat, and President Trump isn't helping with his weak polls and potent controversies.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort may not be headed for trial on money laundering and conspiracy charges until late autumn. The judge in his case expressed puzzlement over some of the legal positions he has taken.

Lawyers for Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller have turned over thousands of pages of material to Manafort and his former business partner Richard Gates, a process that prosecutors said is continuing.

But at least part of the holdup in the case is Manafort's own making, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said.

Updated on Jan. 16 at 2:54 p.m. E.S.T.

A new Senate bill would require America's spy bosses to report within one month of a federal election on whether a foreign power had interfered with it.

That's part of a proposal by Florida Republican Marco Rubio and Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, who say Congress must do more to safeguard elections following the attack by Russia on the presidential race in 2016.

Patterns in the world, like this rock formation in Ebihens, France, can sometimes fortuitously look like human faces. In a new study, Meng et al. have used this phenomenon of "pareidolia" to investigate how the neural processing of faces differs in the left and right halves of the brain. Credit: Erwan Mirabeau)

Objects that resemble faces are everywhere. Whether it’s New Hampshire’s erstwhile granite “Old Man of the Mountain,” or a face on Mars, our brains are adept at locating images that look like faces.

However, the normal human brain is almost never fooled into thinking such objects actually are human faces.

“You can tell that it has some ‘faceness’ to it, but on the other hand, you’re not misled into believing that it is a genuine face,” says Pawan Sinha, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT. But how?

A new study from Sinha and his colleagues has found two brain regions that make the distinction. The fusiform gyrus — an area long associated with face recognition — on the left side of the brain carefully calculates how “facelike” an image is.

The right fusiform gyrus then appears to use that information to make a quick, categorical decision of whether the object is, indeed, a face.

This distribution of labor is one of the first known examples of the left and right sides of the brain taking on different roles in high-level visual-processing tasks, Sinha says, although hemispheric differences have been seen in other brain functions, most notably language and spatial perception.

Face vs. nonface

Sinha and his students set out to investigate how that brain region decides what is and is not a face, particularly in cases where an object greatly resembles a face.

To help them do that, the researchers created a continuum of images ranging from those that look nothing like faces to genuine faces. They found images that very closely resemble faces by examining photographs that machine vision systems had falsely tagged as faces. Human observers then rated how facelike each of the images were by doing a series of one-to-one comparisons; the results of those comparisons allowed the researchers to rank the images by how much they resembled a face.

The research team then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of research subjects as they categorized the images. Unexpectedly, the scientists found different activity patterns on each side of the brain:

On the right side, activation patterns within the fusiform gyrus remained quite consistent for all genuine face images, but changed dramatically for all nonface images, no matter how much they resembled a face. This suggests that the right side of the brain is involved in making the categorical declaration of whether an image is a face or not.

Meanwhile, in the analogous region on the left side of the brain, activity patterns changed gradually as images became more facelike, and there was no clear divide between faces and nonfaces. From this, the researchers concluded that the left side of the brain is ranking images on a scale of how facelike they are, but not assigning them to one category or another (face or non-face).

“From the computational perspective, one speculation one can make is that the left does the initial heavy lifting,” Sinha says. “It tries to determine how facelike is a pattern, without making the final decision on whether I’m going to call it a face.”

The researchers found that activation in the left side of the fusiform gyrus preceded that of the right side by a couple of seconds, supporting the hypothesis that the left side does its job first and then passes information on to the right side.

Sinha says that given the sluggishness of fMRI signals (which rely on blood-flow changes), the timing does not yet constitute definitive evidence, “but it’s a very interesting possibility because it begins to tease apart this monolithic notion of face processing. It’s now beginning to get at what the constituents are of that overall face-processing system.”

The researchers hope to obtain more solid evidence of temporal relationships between the two hemispheres with studies using electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG), two technologies that offer a much more precise view of the timing of brain activity.

They also hope to discover how and when the right and left sides of the fusiform gyrus develop these independent functions by studying blind children who have their sight restored at a young age.Many such children have been treated by Project Prakash, an effort initiated by Sinha to find and treat blind children in India.

LargeUp Interview: Talking Dubplates + Dancehall with Johnny Osbourne

1 2 3

Words by Jesse Serwer, Interview by DJ Gravy, Photos by Aviva Klein

Johnny Osbourne

Johnny Osbourne is, in many ways, the definitive dancehall vocalist. Not only has he most likely recorded more dubplates (that’s exclusive versions of popular songs tailored for play by a specific sound system, for you all you new-jacks) than any one else, his essential ’80s recordings like “Budy Bye,” “No Ice Cream Sound” and “Little Sound Boy” are some of the purest reflections of the real dancehall sound-system experience ever released commercially.

Interestingly enough, Osbourne began his career a decade before his peers from dancehall’s dawn in the late ’70s. But the very same day he finished his debut album, 1969’s Come Back Darling, for Winston Riley’s Techniques Records, he found himself emigrating to Canada, beginning the first of several hiatuses that would mark his uniquely paced career. Now, at age 65, Johnny finds himself with yet another fresh start before him. Major Lazer’s co-opting of his “Mr. Marshall” as the heart of their arena-rocking, dancehall-meets-dubstep anthem “Jah No Partial” comes just as the singer finds himself able to travel internationally for the first time in decades. Fresh off his very first European festival appearances and a long-awaited return to Jamaica, Johnny will make his first Florida performance in who-knows-when tomorrow night (3/21/2013) at LargeUp’s Winter Music Massive at Blackbird Ordinary in Miami. DJ Gravy recently sat down with the Dancehall Godfather in NYC, as photographer Aviva Klein snapped some intimate portraits. Let me hear you say whoa-oh!!

LargeUp: You’ve been current in more eras of Jamaican music than almost any other artist, from the ’60s until now. How were you able to stay current through all of those eras?

Johnny Osbourne: Well, I don’t [stay] stuck inna no zone. I have yesterday, today and tomorrow. I’m from the old school but mi always tell a man, I’m not stopped there and I don’t live there. I reinvent myself always. I’m full of ideas. My mind too young for mi body.

Johnny Osbourne

LU: You recorded your first album Come Back Darling in 1969. Is it true you left for Canada the same day?

JO: The same day we finished the album. In the early morning I took the photograph on the step of the first Air Jamaica plane that them bring, and in the afternoon I flew out to Canada. I never come back to Jamaica until 10 years after.

LU: What was the reason for going to Canada?

JO: My mom immigrated to Canada from about ‘64, ‘65. I have one brother and one sister and she was trying to get the three of us together. She filed for us from a long time but I wasn’t really [wanting] to leave Jamaica because I didn’t know that outside of Jamaica could be nicer than Jamaica. I thought Jamaica was so nice. I had to take myself off the filing paper and let my brother and sister go. Then my mother come to Jamaica in 1969 and said if I don’t come this time, she’s finished with me. And then Jamaica was getting really politically violent in that time. I figured my mother don’t want to stay in Canada and worry about me. I didn’t want to make my mother cry so I have to just go with my mother.

LU: What was Canada like for a Jamaican in the ‘70s?

JO: Well, for one thing, Canada is one of the coldest places for a while. After going [to] some other places, I realized how cold Canada is. For just leav[ing] Jamaica the first time at 22 years old, [it was] a culture shock. And then I loved the music, and reggae wasn’t catching on in Canada. North American never take reggae so hard like that. But still, the same way, they had a club called Club Jamaica—and on a Sunday evening they’d have an open mic ting. A few clubs did. I kept at it and loved it. But away from that, it was a struggle fi a while.

LU: There wasn’t a lot of opportunities to do reggae in Canada at that time…

JO: That time. But I never give it up, because that was a part of me. Mi love music. From I was young, I always wanted to be a Nat King Cole or a Johnny Mathis or a Sam Cooke or a Billy Eckstine or a Johnny Ace. That was some people I used to listen to and say yes, I have to be like them.

LU: You did soul music as well up there?

JO: To really eat some food at that time, [I] put some bands together. The work was club work. You get some reggae music but them want Top 40 from America and so forth. I had to do some Top 40 material.

Ishan People

LU: What was Ishan People all about?

JO: I moved around with a lot of different people but Ishan People was one of the more solid bands. I started to get more serious with di ting with Ishan People. David Clayton Thomas from Blood, Sweat & Tears heard Ishan People and produced an album before I joined. I joined the group, [and] David Thomas did a second album. Ishan People was doing some reggae, Bob Marley and a couple popular tunes but we were still writing and doing original songs. David Clayton Thomas produced it for JRT, a big company in Canada. It wasn’t Johnny Osbourne and Ishan People, it was just Ishan People, a whole band.

Read on for Part 2 as Johnny discusses his return to Jamaica after 10 years in Canada, and the birth of dancehall and the dubplate

Officer Was Drunk And Had Been Imbibing At Police Academy Before Fatal Crash

A Los Angeles police officer who died in a motorcycle crash last week had blood-alcohol content "well over" the legal limit for driving and had been imbibing at a bar at the Los Angeles Police Academy in Elysian Park as part of longstanding "payday Wednesday" festivities at the campus, police said.

As a result, police are investigating whether 47-year-old Kenneth Aragon left the bar too drunk to drive, or whether he might have gone to another watering hole before the crash on Fletcher Drive not far from the academy, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Police said the officer, a 19-year veteran, crashed about 90 minutes after leaving the academy, opening up the question of whether he went over the limit somewhere else. Still, police have ordered bartenders at the academy to undergo "retraining."
