In over 50 years of toiling, the Pioneers Reggae transitioned steadfastly from the Ska era to Rocksteady, and to Reggae and some of its many fusions. The Pioneers' Second Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary and its counterpart, First Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary as well as the book titled Collectively and Individually: The Pioneers Record Sleeves Over the Decades were written to celebrate the Pioneers Reggae Group's musical journey as seen through the eyes of a lifetime fan whose intent is to draw on narrative and content analysis as a methodology to bring the groups' lifeworks to prominence and to remind the world of the great works created by the Pioneers and their important contribution to the reggae music industry.
The canvas for the works in this book is comprised of shadows, sidewalks, discards, roadside carcasses, dumpsters, storm ravaged landscapes, mud piles, and an assortment of junk. My art work is much like daguerreotype - the images are merely illusions of reality.

As a nation, we should preserve our social memory by honoring those who paved the way for us to exist, recognizing those who etched their indelible mark on our lives, and remembering those who went to the great beyond before us as expressed in the Salute to the Dearly Departed segment (People); our regions, areas, and territories; our locales, hotspots, and hangouts and places we love to visit and events we constantly attend in (Places), and the happenings and the things that we cherish to death - items, commodities, artifacts, and products (Things). So dear readers, enjoy the mind "triggers" and heart-wrenching "diggers" you will find in this book honouring the 55th year of celebrating Jamaica's independence and the tantalizing trip down memory lane with this unofficial reference/resource guide by your side.

Readers may ask why authors write art books. What is the benefit of this book and all my other art-themed books? Well, it is to document, not just for me, but for historical value, my life and the lives of all artists that I feature from a diverse category of famous and not-so-famous artists. Developing a track record of our work is essential not just for us but for the next generation of artists on the horizon. Recall that many artists gained fame and fortune after their time, long after their gravestones needed remodeling. Vincent van Gogh is one such artist who only sold one painting in his lifetime. His fame and fortune came through his wife and brother, his posthumous advocates who shone the spotlight on his works. Well, I am not waiting to die as there might not be activists ready and willing to take on such a challenge on my behalf, especially since I spent 20 years studying to be a business person, an educator, and not an artist of any measure. You, the readers, are my only hope. Go for it!
