Hey y'all....
Just wanted to share a recent jam experience I was blessed to partake of, if you will. Jamaican Reggae legend Earl "Chinna" Smith (formerly with Bob Marley & the Wailers) came to my hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas this week to play at a local Peace festival. I had seen him down on the square while I was pickin' at Farmer's Market last Saturday morning, and my friend Ted said, "Hey man, Chinna wants to jam with you...He's always looking for new people to jam with...anyway...long story short...the Peace fest got rained out and Ted said, "we're all going back to___'s house, why don't you come jam...? Umm, yeah!...anyway...stayed and picked til about 2 am. It was a blast. Next time we get together we are supposed to record it. ( I gotta get a minidisc recorder!) I was also invited to sit-in at a record store promo gig with him on Thursday.
Anyway, just felt like sharing....happy pickin'
Anybody wanna talk about reggae mando, just jump on in...
