Bob Marley

I was listening to NPR (All Things Considered) on Wednesday and they reminded me that Bob Marley died on 4/20 at 4:20 PM. The news motivated me to play some Marley so I went to Twisted Sisters and jammed with Zach (guitar), Mathew (drums) Jared (bass), and a lovely woman named Brandy (djembe). I sang and provided the acoustic guitar skank on Lively Up Yourself, Stir it Up, No Woman No Cry, and Redemption Song. I sat in with Brandy on her set of four original tunes after my set keeping time with my djembe while she strummed the acoustic and sang ever so sweetly. It was great playing with Zach again and a pleasure meeting Brandy, Mathew, and Jared. I drank some Guinness and received a neuromuscular massage to boot. It was a wonderful evening.

I originally wrote "Sail Away" for my mentor Jon Jelleyman when he passed away but it's posted here for Bob (Jelley would understand):

Sail away...I'll be leaving someday.
You know I believed it, Oh for so long.
Won't be long 'till I'll be saying so long.

Far away...I'll be there someday.
You know I believed it, Oh for so long.
Won't be long till I'll be saying so long.

He's away...He won't be back someday.
You know I believed in him, Oh for so long.
Won't be long 'till I'll be saying so long.

Be good...
