My Musical Tribute to Bob Marley...

I wrote and recorded this song on vinyl when Bob Marley passed away. The song is called "The Wailer". Since it is on vinyl it has one small skip in it. Gee Wiz. The only copy I have left. Hope you like it. I am playing drums and singing the lead. Mike McIntire on guitar, Matt Powelson on bass, Night Owl Kelly on B3 organ, Elliot Fikes on sax, Lucky Gomez, BeBe Bryant and Vickie Williams, in that order, on back up vocals. Recorded in Fort Collins Colorado. Engineered by Jerry Summers on a 4 track recorder. Wow! I can't believe I recorded this 25 years ago. Time sure does fly when your having fun.

Very cool, Ric.
Bob Marley used to play Toronto often in the 70s, as we have a large Carribean population and he had quite a huge following here. I skipped the chance to see him here in 79 and regretted it always as he fell ill soon after and never toured again. It just goes to remind you not to waste opportunities.

Looking forward to day 6.

Cheers,

Ric;

Thanks for stopping by again, I love when I have visitors! I think whatever way you post Day 6 would be fine, look at it this way it has been a while since you posted day 5 and you have people constantly asking for day 6. This is a great story. Make sure you end Day 5 part one at a cliff hanger and rest assured you will have them chomping at the bit to read part 2. As soon as I post this I am heading over to your radio station to have a listen, I will let you know what I think. Glad to hear you are doing better it is nice when things are good! Take care, be back soon!
