DRINK MILK * JUSTIN HINDS AND THE DOMINOES * TREASURE ISLE [BLANK] * JA

If any one person personified my category of didactic the great Justin Hinds would be a strong contender, there should definitely be a book written about him. Coming from an acute sense of right and wrong  his songs were exemplary and never patronizing or obscure; they often gave practical and/or moral council for others at his own expense. Many of his songs are based on old proverbs; the above cites at least three and is a gentile, but firm, reminder of  humility and regard for others.
