@FormerlyStlJhawk One of my 4 brothers lived on a farm outside of LFK and had a roommate (Neil Leff) who promoted and managed the all white reggae band from Lawrence named Pat's Blue Riddim Band (PBR) and was instrumental in bringing Bob because of PBR and its popularity and they were opening group. This is why I was in the guest box up in the balcony with Mike. They had a couple albums out and were the only all white reggae band to ever play Sunsplash in Jamaica. Funny story is that Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer 🤮 sued PBR for name infringement so they just became Blue Riddim Band after. The drummer's name was Duck.

@approxinfinity it wouldn't let me post the pic of the 4 albums he signed. I should just email it to you. Of course he signed The Harder They Come. He was shorter than me. Mighty voice though.

@approxinfinity True story. Saw Bob Marley in Hoch Auditorium on 12.6.1979 and it was by far the best concert ever. On YouTube there is a recording of this concert. The Journal World had many articles on it.

On another note, the passing of Jimmy Cliff brought back a sweet memory of seeing him in Austin at #SXSW one year. I took 4 of my albums to his show and met him after and he signed them all and when I told him that Follow My Mind was my favorite he kissed me on my cheek. When I tweeted this story and the picture of my 4 albums signed, I received a like from both Bob Marley's daughter Luna AND Jimmy Cliff's daughter Odessa. Royalty
