FULL INTRO: 
(cutaway intro is below)

Guitarist Ernie Ranglin doesn't  have the name recognition
of Jimmy Cliff or Bob Marley. But you could argue that Ranglin 
was as responsible as anyone for the emergence 
of the distinctive sounds of Jamaican music.  His jazz-flavored 
guitar playing can be heard on many of Marley's first hits with 
the Wailers. And Ranglin is often credited with inventing the 
upbeat style known as ska. 

For most of his career he's stayed in the background, playing 
thousands of  studio sessions. But in recent years Ranglin 
has started making records as a leader, blending jazz, 
Jamaican and African styles. This is how he describes his 
music ... in his own words ...


TAPE IN:  (starts with music)  "I'm Ernie Ranglin, I try to play a 
little guitar ...."

TAPE OUT: Ends with music tail
Last spoken words:  "...it's good to have your own style."

OPTIONAL SHORT INTRO FOR CUTAWAY USE:

Guitarist Ernie Ranglin isn't  a household name like Jimmy Cliff 
or Bob Marley. But you could argue that Ranglin was as 
responsible as anyone for the distinctive sounds of Jamaican 
ska and reggae.  

In recent years Ranglin has  stepped out of his sideman role, 
and started making his own records. This is how he describes his 
music ... in his own words ...
