By the Rivers of Babylon

Based on the Psalm of David (#137), this ancient passage
was set to a heartfelt reggae tune by the Abyssians and
other great Jamaican artists. Probably the best version was
done by the great Jimmy Cliff. You can find this song on the
soundtrack to "The Harder They Come".

Bass Pans

This is an easy beginning arrangement. Play it slowly, with a steady
4 beat. The rhythm section can lay down a simple calypso beat.
