Car Park

I would have never thought that there was a problem finding a place to park a car in 1950s Jamaica, but if Monty Reynolds and his Silver Seas Orchestra had to write a song about it, well, then it must have been quite an issue.Unless I'm missing some well hidden innuendo, which I suppose is entirely possible.

"There's A Brown Girl In The Ring"

A little Lord Invader (not to be confused with Lord Intruder). Perfect for these gray winter daze.
