Black Uhuru - Rent Man
[17:26] Hi, Smiling Woman. If you were in NYC, early 80s? The second most popular word/shout. [Nos. 1. "Que Pasa", every, first-line time.]
Dare go, on or near, Avenue B.
'Ghetto-certain', someone, would shout, (per, block):
"Hey, Blondie... Come say hello... baby?".

'Billy Penn's Brother', Richard Nicholson. He was heart and centre. Top man, And top visual artist, illustrator and painter.
