Their variegated repertory includes a broad spectrum of attractive tunes, sweet and hot, ranging from Hollywood musicals to big bandsβ top swing numbers.
A concert is more than that; it is a show designed in the minutest detail to emulate the typical manners of those times, complete with the costumes and hairdos, and rounded off by overall direction of the performance.
The musiciansβ thoroughly jazzy style is compounded by their sense of humour, show, and understanding. The band's enthrallings sound and tempo support the soloist: Ondrej Havelka, a singer, speaker and dancer.

Good Time
Melody Makers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's have a good time
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
Get those problems out your head, put
Your mama to bed
But don't stray too far from reality or
In a dream world
Dreaming of things that there ain't no possibility, who
Wee, believe me
Let's have a nice grooving time, but don't go too far
From the truth in your mind
Cause you'll drink and drive, and then
You'll fly too
High and so you'll pay the price for justa
Feeling nice
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
So many things to foresee, we were not
Born to live this way
We were born having fun in the jungle of grace
With plenty of food to eat, and plenty drink to drink
So you know what I mean when I say
Liberate yourself from the state that you're in
It stink, it stink, it stink
Mi sey to dance if y ou have to but don't
Take no chance
To be deceived, yea
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
Though the world is cruel and blind
Let's have a good time
The bass is heavy the drummer is steady
Ooh, rhythm runs and it got you on the
Floor cry out

Melody Makers' song "Good Time" encourages listeners to stay positive and have a good time, despite the cruel and blind world we live in. They urge listeners to temporarily forget their problems and enjoy themselves. However, the song warns against straying too far from reality and living in a dream world that is not possible, as it could lead to dangerous behavior such as drinking and driving.
The lyrics also suggest that we were not born to live in a world filled with problems, but rather to enjoy life in a carefree manner. The song urges listeners to liberate themselves from any negative states they may be in and to work together to build a better world.
In summary, "Good Time" is a call to action for listeners to have a good time and stay positive in the face of adversity while also staying grounded in reality and working towards a better future.

@scribescribe4289
Here is the difference, the heathen go against Jah plan and never repent
The righteous, ask God to move their steps, and to rightly guided
Jeremiah 10:23 or near that, look it up. the prayer of him says 'Lord, I know it is not for people to direct their steps.'
one must let go of the ego, the demon inside that wants , and wants
that is the meaning of "The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want"
this means to kill the fleshly desires, stop wanting things outside of what
God wants for you in your life
The meaning of the saying from David "I shall not want"
means simply: I shall not want anything other than what the Lord wants for me
It is to have joy, and to repent daily, that is the religion of Judah
that I and I am sent to the world to teach, I have been in hiding
2022 is when I begin to record with the reggae community
I am building a band and a camp, it is on over 100 acres
in the mountains above san luis obispo, I have no money
I have everything else, should you want not to help me ziggy
message someone who can, it need be a loyal member of Judah
who loves Most High, that is the person who will help I
for before David became king, he built a camp

This one of my favourite melody maker's track, take me back to my school days. ππ
@wannabet2647
The cadence of the flow with back up singers, the ladies sound great, one of the happiest most chill songs, I love it. Iβm trying to make rap songs with a back up singers wailing on the hook. Thatβs a banger right there
@westlygraves4209
Thanks for the positive music and positive vibes ziggy"βsee dem fake leaders,π₯
@coolpoete
Awesome album. Lots of great memories during these earlier years. Will be putting this back in my music library rotation
@solinspired4428
Me too! I play the all the time my shop
@ambervisions
Thank you for the positive energy! It is soooo needed right now!
@hannahoron9740
I remember at the time I found it too difficult to accommodate to the new sound (not exactly roots reggae), but listening to the song now, I applaud the move from the "we are Marley so we have to make reggae music" sound! Actually, it was quite visionary. (Just a question aside about the video, do I see a young Stephen playing the saxophone? Ha, ha, ha! Great stuff, these old vids!) Thanks for sharing. Jah Bless!!!
@gemini787
Yes that's Stephen on the saxophone. They have 2 versions of this music video. This one is for the original album track. They also have a similar video for the remixed version of this song. Though I like both versions, I think my favorite is the remixed one.
@staceymcclain9875
Keep the Spirit high!
Been down with the Melody Makers since "Play the game right"! Never too much!π€
