To my kids and future grandkids. Your dad will be smoking rich. And he loves this song. Remember to gather here some day long after he is gone.

[@bobobiero]

Reminds me of my evenings in Homa Bay town in early 90s, the lake waters "simmered" in reflection of town light, the breeze was memorable, the song used to "float" in the wind deep into my bedroom- everything seemed to give way to it, even dogs wouldn't bark. All pubs in the small town of Homa bay played this song. Memories fade, people get old, life changes and people die but memories will linger...

I'm here 2020 and am not moving anywhere this is the song that introduced me into music and was very rich just like today, In 1994 I was barely 10yrs old living with my grandma in Asembo and i could sneak go listen to this song from a neibours's fence at night we did not have a radio or any casset But this song kept on luring me anytime it was played from a neibour.

[@florenceamondi7774]

Okatch biggy will be a legend forever,his music will remain to be some of the best ever composed. The first thing that my mum did immediately after she got home was to play okatch biggy,I can personally sing his songs word by word coz it’s the only music that played at my home as I was growing. However we must agree that the hit of okatch Biggy came with a wave of HIV that spread like bush fire in Nyanza. 90 percent of those who were going to his live music died of AIDS including himself. Am yet to understand what was happening there.
