I recently performed at the Rhode Island Reggae Festival with Junior Marvin. Many of you already know the name but just in case, Junior Marvin is the original guitar player from Bob Marley and the Wailers. you can see him in the recent documentary 'Marley' on VH1. ( I actually ended up watching it the day before our first rehearsal.) I had never been to Rhode Island before. It was a lovely afternoon on the wharf.

The people were great and it's always nice to work with musicians who worked with the great Bob Marley. I always end up learning something new and valuable about him. For instance I didn't know that Bob was never late! He was always the first one there and the last to leave for rehearsals, soundchecks etc.(I need to take notes on that one) and if something needed to be done he would do it himself, like sweeping the floor etc..
also according to Junior, one of the things Bob said that I found quite profound, was that he didnt want to work with the best musicians.he wanted to work with those that were the most interested. Wow, food for thought!
