No, its not my Birthday or "Earth"day like the newagers like to call it. It's when my eyes, and more importantly, my ears opened to the sights and sounds of Jamaica. I was standing backstage at the Santa Barbara County Bowl staring in utter astonishment at a group of Rastafarians called Bob Marley and the Wailers on their Legends Live tour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L07lXY7hZQw
It isn't often in your life that you can actually pinpoint the moment that everything changes. When only hearing about an exotic location like Jamaica gets replaced with a physical need... no, an ADDICTION.. a stumbling through everyday life in a B movie with Bob Marley providing the score. It took four long years of scrimping and saving every spare dime I could manage until one day I made my dream a reality.
How did it begin for you?

First time 1979 as well. Remember no telephone, no electricity on the West End. So different today indeed.
Respect!
