gosh!

i like what i'm hearing on the GTB myspace -especially the acoustic number... j

where's my hype men when i need 'em...

Sat.April.12 Toronto, Ont El Mocambo Club w/ TBA this is great news! I'll get to see 'em as I will be promoting the Wailer's Showcase that same night upstairs at El Mocambo. jay

Just got back from the trip - it was great. I really lucked out I didn't really spent too much money - my whole trip was probably $900 with all my food and booze. gotta get organized - but a follow up will be soon. jay

yo quick update negril I totally missed Sizza at The Big Spring Break Concert - It was about a thousand people - mostly Jamaicans. Great little festival with food and craft vendors. I was exhausted and none of the headliners went on until after 4am. I was way too spent to keep going after the layover in Montreal and early morning flight. Still saw lots of performers Mr. Groove was my favorite dancehall act he had 5 songs and each one started with this High Grade vocal melody. Basic love songs about sensimellia - well the crowd really responded to that - it was like 30 different artists with 10 minutes each. Some of it was hillarious. There's another chance to catch Sizzla and some other dancehall guys tonight at The Rockcliff - I'm going a bit later tonight. Since I last emailed, Jah-Lin (from Irie Band and House of David Gang) and I got to jam with another bassie, singer and keyboardist at Rick's Cafe two nights in a row - this great touristy pool and bar with a big stage right on the oncean. Did some jammin' at mi Yard http://www.miyard.com/ the hotel I was staying at - I just moved to a much nicer place up the road - but at Mi Yard I plugged my guitar into the DJ mixer and looped some tribal drums had live percussion as I played some island riffs and hi life vibes guitar. They do a live broadcast there and there is talk of coming down for a couple of weeks next year and play there live every night of the week. Caught some great reggae at this other bar called Alfred's Place - mostly classics - but there was a fire breathing performer that was going off with the music. He was spittling a 8 ft flame out of his mouth for 5 seconds at a time for an entire song - it was pretty freaky. Tomorow I'm off to Montego Bay with Jah-Lin before heading to Toronto on Wednesday. I'm having a great time I'm already sad that I'm just about to leave - gotta make tonight count. Yes Rasta!

Things are going fantastic. Here's the quick run down.. I finally got to Jamaica - I was routed through Montreal then to Jamaica on Saturday Morning. Once I got there my rasta links in Toronto set me up with a rasta guide who was waiting for me at the airport with a sign that said "Jaydawg" nice! He travelled with me to Negril first by taking a Cab into Montego Bay then we took some public buses - these buses were a more modern VW Bus - but they crammed in about 18 people. I got to Negril just in time to spend an evening with Josh - from The Chameleon Project and his family - JChameleon gave me the scoop on the places for food and goodtimes and what to look out for. We did some jammin' in a beautiful guest house loft on the ocean with his friend and local musician Kingsly James. I got my own place at the same hotel/bar that Collin - the drummer for the House of David Gang is staying at. I brought a copy of the Nufunk Bob Marley show that we've been playing at the hotel - sounds great - i'm staying at a place called Mi Yard. Last night after JChameleon left for home - i went to Rick's Place -a nice venue/restarant on the beach and Collin and I played with the band and after I went to the big Spring Break show - we were there for almost 5 hours and none of the headliners even made it to the stage ( there were a couple thousand people there) I was getting really exhausted so we missed the main performer - I had to go to bed! There are some other friends Ira and Bruce friends from Kensington Market are also here - plus getting to play some music. fun. We're plenty stoned and irie - the sun is shining and my rasta guide is headed back to Ochie - I'm only here until Wednesday - I'm going to dinner with my Kensington Market friends and will probably be playing again tonight at Rick's. yes! Good times so far!

those are great psychedelic pictures!! 6 hours till jamrock!
